Cleaning the Machine
- When performing maintenance on the machine, always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Contact your sales or service representative for cleaning the machine's interior. If the machine's interior is not regularly cleaned while dust accumulates, fire and malfunction can result.
Do not use chemicals such as cleaning liquid and organic solvents such as paint thinner and benzene for cleaning. It may seep inside the machine through the gaps or melt the plastic material composing the exterior cover, causing malfunctions to occur.
Your local dealer will replace the ozone and dustproof filters as needed.
Do not clean parts other than those explicitly specified in this manual. Other parts should only be cleaned by your local dealer.
