• Store discs in their cases when not in use - scratched and damaged discs will not

Do not use solvents such as benzine, commercially available cleaners not intended
for CDs or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

• Do not use irregularly shaped discs (for example, heart- or star-shaped discs) or
damaged, re-shaped or repaired discs.

Moisture condensation
If the console or disc is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture
may condense on the lens inside the console or on the disc. Should this occur, the
console may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and turn off and
unplug the console. Do not put the disc back in until the moisture evaporates (this
may take several hours). If the console still does not operate properly, contact the
appropriate PlayStation customer service helpline which can be found within every
®
PlayStation and PlayStation 2 format software manual.

Cleaning
• For safety reasons, before cleaning the console or connected accessories, 1) turn
off the console, 2) disconnect the power plug for the console from the electrical
outlet, and 3) remove the network cable from the network connector.
• If the exterior of the console becomes dirty, soak a soft cloth in a mild detergent
solution diluted with water, tightly squeeze the cloth to remove the excess liquid,
wipe the affected area of the exterior, and finish by wiping with a dry cloth.
• Do not use solvents or other chemicals to clean the console exterior, since these
may damage the surface. When using a chemically-treated cleaning cloth, follow
the usage instructions supplied with the cloth.
• When dust accumulates in the console vents, remove the dust with a low-powered
vacuum cleaner.
• Do not touch the lens located inside the disc cover. To help protect the lens from
dust, keep the disc cover closed except when inserting or removing discs.
