Routine Cleaning; Platen Glass And Underside Of The Feeder/Platen Cover - Canon CLC5151 Reference Manual

Routine Cleaning

If the original is not copied clearly, clean the following parts of the machine. For high-quality
printouts, we recommend cleaning these parts once or twice a month.
•
Platen glass
•
Underside of the feeder/platen cover
•
Feeder's roller
WARNING
• When cleaning the machine, first turn OFF the main power switch, and disconnect the power
cord. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other solvents for cleaning. Doing so may
result in damage to the plastic parts.
• Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet regularly, and clean the area around the
base of the power plug's metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure that all
dust and grime is removed. If the power cord is connected for a long period of time in a damp,
dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around the power plug and become damp. This
may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.
