Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
•
When cleaning the machine, first turn off the main power switch and unplug the power plug.
Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.
•
Unplug the power plug from the outlet regularly, and clean the area around the base of the
plug's metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure all dust and grime is removed.
If the machine is plugged in for a long time in a damp, dusty, or smoky location, dust can build
up around the plug and become damp. This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.
•
Clean the machine using a firmly wrung-out cloth dampened with a mild cleansing detergent. Do
not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable substances. If flammable
substances come into contact with a high-voltage area inside the machine, this may result in a
fire or electrical shock.
•
Do not throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may ignite the toner remaining
inside the cartridges and result in burns or a fire.
