must be cleaned regularly. Only the following cleaning agents and ac-
cessories may be used for cleaning: a lint-free cloth, isopropyl alcohol,
and streak-free glass cleaner.

Damage to the surface due to contact with hard, sharp-edged
objects.
Scratches in the surface.
This impairs the function of the air bearings.
