Gently wipe the whiteboard and unit with a water-
dampened cloth that has been thoroughly wrung.
Note
•If you accidentally write on the whiteboard with an oil-
based marker, wipe with a small amount of ethyl 
alcohol.
•Do not use thinner, benzine or cleaners containing 
abrasives or surfactants, as this may result in 
discoloration or difficulty of erasing.When the erasing surface of the eraser becomes dirty, 
hold down the sheet under the top sheet with your 
finger and peel off the dirty sheet (white or gray sheet) 
by pulling in the direction of the arrow.
Note
•Be sure to peel off only one sheet; white or gray 
sheet of the eraser.
•When the eraser becomes thin, make sure that the 
corners of the eraser do not strike the whiteboard 
during erasing as this may damage the whiteboard.
