across shredder entry, then run a single sheet through.

malfunction to the electrical components. If the shredder happens to get wet, be sure to
completely dry the unit immediately with a soft cloth or towel.
• Never use anything flammable to clean the shredder. This may result in serious injury or
damage to the shredder.
