  1. Apply some switch cleaner/lubricant to the tip of a cotton bud. 
  2. Feed the bud through the air vent slots to reach the element contact pads and wiper finger contacts. 
  3. Wipe the cotton bud across the element pads all over avoiding pulling on the wiper contact fingers in case they bend. 
  4. Operate the trigger several times wiping across the cleaned area so that it also cleans the wiper finger contact points. 
  5. Repeat as necessary.
