the outside of the front air vents. When dust becomes visible at the air vents, run
the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner gently over the front panel to remove
it.
In extremely dusty environments it may be necessary to remove the front panel
assembly to clean the blades of the fans. Refer all service to qualified personnel.
The procedure may be performed while the unit is running.
