Clean the white document backing with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened
with a mild soap and warm water.
Wash the backing gently to loosen debris. Do not scrub the backing.

Dry the backing with a chamois or soft cloth.

Caution

Do not use paper-based wipes, as these might scratch the

backing.

If further cleaning is needed, repeat the previous steps using isopropyl (rubbing)
alcohol, and wipe the backing thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any
residual alcohol.

Caution

Be careful not to spill alcohol on the glass or painted parts of the

HP All-in-One, as this might damage the device.

Clean the exterior

Use a soft cloth or slightly moistened sponge to wipe dust, smudges, and stains off
the case. The interior of the HP All-in-One does not require cleaning. Keep fluids
away from the control panel and the interior of the HP All-in-One.

Caution

To avoid damage to painted parts of the HP All-in-One, do not use

alcohol or alcohol-based cleaning products on the control panel, document
feeder tray, lid, or other painted parts of the device.
