machine during any phase of user operation. Read the following remarks and following instructions
for safety.

Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
• When cleaning the machine, first turn OFF the main power switch, then unplug the power plug. Failure
to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Clean the machine using a firmly wrung cloth dampened with a mild cleansing detergent mixed with
water. 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.
• There are some areas inside the machine which are subject to high voltages. When removing jammed
paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not allow necklaces, bracelets or other metal
objects to touch the inside of the machine, as this may result in burns or electrical shock.
• Do not throw used toner cartridges into open fires. The toner will catch on fire and may cause burns
or fire.
CAUTION
• Unplug the power plug from the outlet at least once a year, and clean the area around the base of the
plug’s metal pins to ensure all dust is removed. If dust accumulates in this area, it may result in a fire.
