is necessary.
Tab l e 15.1 How to Clean the HFA II-i
Surface Cleaner Method
Exterior Panels Mild detergent or appliance
cleaner or glass cleaner
containing no ammonia.
Dampen a soft cloth with cleaner and
gently wipe the surfaces. Never spray
the cleaner directly on the exterior
surfaces.
Bowl
(Please review the two
cautionary Notes that
follow this table)
Dust cloth
Distilled water
70% Isopropyl alcohol in H
2
O
(Rubbing alcohol)
Remove accumulated dust from the
bowl periodically. Wipe the bowl gently
with a clean, dry, soft cotton cloth. Use
downward strokes that move the dust
toward the front edge of the bottom of
the bowl, where there is a small
opening around the base of the lens
holder.
If dusting the bowl is inadequate,
slightly moisten the cloth
with distilled
water. Whether using a dry or a
dampened cloth, always avoid
excessive rubbing in one area, as this
can create shiny spots or wear through
the specially painted surface of the
bowl.
For small spots on the bowl surface
caused by sneezing or coughing during
a test, slightly dampen a cotton-tipped
applicator with isopropyl alcohol and
gently remove the spot. It is best to wet
the spot with the tip of the dampened
swab first and let it soak briefly. Then,
use the swab very gently to remove the
deposit.
Touch Screen Mild glass cleaner containing
no ammonia.
Turn OFF the HFA before cleaning the
touch screen. Wipe gently with a
moistened cloth. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the touch screen.
