Cleaning the Server
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stains that do not come off with a dry cloth, wipe with a cloth lightly
dampened with a mild detergent. Once the stain has been removed, wipe off any remaining detergent
with a cloth dampened with water. When wiping the server, be sure that no moisture enters the server
machine.
Do not use solvents. Use a mild detergent only. Otherwise, the server may be damaged.
