Cleaning the computer
ELECTRIC SHOCK
• To avoid injury and shock hazards,
be sure to do the following before
cleaning the computer.
– Turn off the computer and
disconnect the AC adapter from
it.
– Turn off all peripheral devices and
disconnect them from the
computer.
When the computer becomes dirty, wipe its sur-
face gently with a dry, soft cloth.
If dirt persists, wipe it off with a cloth slightly
dampened with water or dilute neutral detergent.
After cleaning with neutral detergent, be sure to
wipe the remaining detergent away with a cloth
slightly dampened with water. When cleaning the
computer, be careful that no water gets in it. Never
use any volatile liquid, such as thinner or ben-
zene, or a duster containing chemicals.

surface gently with a dry, soft cloth or a glass
cleaning cloth.
To avoid damage to the LCD panel, do not
rub its surface with a hard cloth or the like
nor apply excessive force when cleaning it.
