Before cleaning, unplug the power cable. Clean the outer case with mild detergent dissolved in water. If the document glass gets dirty, clean it with a soft dry cloth. If the glass is stained with grease or other hard-to-remove material, use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth to remove it. Wipe off any remaining liquid with a dry cloth. Be sure there is no dust on the document glass. Dust can cause white spots in the scanned image. Caution: Do not scratch or damage the document glass, and do not use a hard or abrasive brush to clean it. A damaged glass surface can decrease the scanning quality. Never use alcohol, thinner, or corrosive solvent to clean the scanner. These chemicals can damage the scanner components as well as the case. Scanners 10/95 ActionScanner II-5
