8.1.3 To Prevent Possible Injury or Equipment Damage
Do not use a corrosive solvent, abrasive detergent, or polish. Select a cleaning/disinfecting
agent that does not damage the plastics, aluminum, or carbon fiber.
Do not use strong detergents, abrasive cleaners, high alcohol concentration, or methanol
at any concentration.
Do not expose equipment parts to steam or high temperature sterilization.
Do not let liquids enter the internal parts of the equipment. Do not apply cleaning sprays
or liquids to the equipment. Always use a clean cloth and apply the spray or liquid to the
cloth. If liquid enters the system, disconnect the electrical supply and examine the system
before returning it to use.
Caution:
Wrong cleaning methods can damage the equipment,
decrease imaging performance, or increase the risk of
electric shock.
Always follow instructions from the manufacturer of the product you use for cleaning.
The instructions include the directions and precautions for the application and contact
time, storage, wash requirements, protective clothing, shelf life, and disposal. Follow the
