optical coatings, it is easily damaged when attempts are made to clean the mirror surface with a
dry tissue.
The safest method of cleaning is to place a piece of lens tissue on the mirror surface and wet it
with reagent grade (highly pure) alcohol or acetone. (If you use acetone, take precautions
regarding possible health and fire hazards). Grasp an overhanging corner of the tissue and
gently agitate it several times, then slide the tissue off. This should remove the problem
blemishes.
Do not let solvent enter the bonding adhesive of the mirror.
CAUTION
Do not rub the reflective surface of the mirror.
NOTE
If the mirror surface is still contaminated, use a highly pure solvent such as alcohol or acetone
and generously wet the mirror surface with a sterile cotton swab or lens tissue. Gently wipe the
dirty areas. Turn your cotton swab or tissue with each stroke so that a clean area is exposed.
Do not let solvent enter the scanner bearings. When wetting the mirror's
surface, hold the scanner at an angle so that the liquid does not wet the
scanner. If any solvent is found in the bearings of the scanner, the warranty is
