In your Operator Guide for the 3575 library, there are instructions
for inserting a Cleaning Cartridge.  Then on the LCD panel of the
3575 you can set AUTOCLEAN ON so the 3575 will clean drives
automatically when they request it.  You also have the option on
the LCD panel to manually clean a drive if needed.

You cannot clean drives on this library (and some others) through
*SM, automatically or manually.  However suggest check the 
cleaning tape in through *SM as CLEANER so *SM knows about
the tape (that is, a count of tapes you make comes out correct).
The 3575 does not have a "special slot" for the tape that *SM 
does not know about.
