      WARNING: 

   Alcohol is flammable. Keep the alcohol and cloth away from an open flame. Before you close the product and plug in the power cord, allow the alcohol to dry completely.

   NOTE: 

   In certain areas of California, air pollution control regulations restrict the use of liquid isopropyl alcohol (IPA) as a cleaning agent. In those areas of California, disregard the previous recommendations and use a dry, lint-free cloth, moistened with water, to clean the pickup roller.

9. Use a dry, lint-free cloth, to wipe the pickup roller and remove loose dirt.
