Daily Care and Maintenance
Always turn off the power switch and unplug the 
power plug when cleaning the unit.
Gently wipe the screen film and unit with a water-
dampened cloth that has been thoroughly wrung.
Note
•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 or surfactants, as this may result in 
discoloration or difficulty of erasing.
• Do not wipe the screen film with a dry cloth as this 
may generate a static charge. 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 screen during 
erasing as this may damage the screen.
