4. Clean all external surfaces with a mild solution of non-ammonia glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
6. Wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the lens surface.
7. Gently polish the lens surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

Always dry the external surfaces thoroughly and carefully after cleaning them.

Do not spin the cooling fans while blowing compressed air into them.
