Daily Care and Maintenance
Always turn off the power switch and unplug the power plug when cleaning outside and inside the unit.
■Cleaning the screen and the unit
Gently wipe the screen film and unit with a water-
dampened cloth that has been thoroughly wrung.
 Use a kitchen cleaner diluted with water for hard-to-
clean stains.
 If you accidentally write on the board with an oil-based 
marker, wipe with a small amount of ethyl alcohol.
 Use a neutral kitchen cleaner diluted with water for 
hard-to-clean stains. (If you accidentally write on the 
screen with an oil-based marker, wipe with a small 
amount of ethyl alcohol.)
 Do not use thinner, benzine or cleaners containing 
abrasives as this may result in discoloration.
 Do not wipe the screen film with a dry cloth as this may 
generate a static charge.
■Caring for the eraser
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 by pulling in 
the direction of the arrow.
 When the eraser becomes thin, make sure that the 
corners of the eraser do not strike the screen during 
erasing as this may damage the screen.
■Cleaning the printer head and paper feed roller
If black streaks appear on the copy, clean the printer head and the paper feed roller.
