The standard Fuse 1 generation printer package includes supplies for cleaning optical cassettes and other optical surfaces inside the printer, as well as three push-top dispensers for Alconox,ethanol, and distilled water. Each dispenser is dedicated to one cleaning agent.

The standard cleaning process requires ethanol. If the standard process is insufficient, perform a more thorough cleaning using Alconox, ethanol, and distilled water.

Prepare the optical cleaning kit in advance so it is ready when needed.

Alconox is a powder and must be mixed with distilled water in order to be an effective detergent for cleaning optical cassettes.

1. Open the accessories bag and remove a dispenser.
2. Remove an Alconox label from the bag and adhere to the bottle.
3. Unscrew the top of the dispenser and add 2 g (0.07 oz) of Alconox powder, followed by 200 mL (6.76 fl oz) of distilled water.
   • Each bottle’s total volume is 200 mL (6.76 fl oz).
4. Screw the cap back on. Ensure it is locked by twisting the cap counterclockwise until you hear a subtle click.
5. Gently agitate the dispenser until the Alconox powder completely dissolves. Avoid generating bubbles or foam from rapid shaking.
