3.2.2

Cleaning the Computer Case

Follow all safety precautions in Section 3.2.1 before cleaning the computer.
To clean the computer case, follow the procedures described below:
!
To remove light stains or dirt, use plain water with a clean, lint-free cloth or swab.
!
For stronger stains, use a mild dishwashing liquid diluted with water. Rinse well
by wiping it with a cloth or swab dampened with clear water.
!
For stubborn stains, use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. No rinsing is needed as the
alcohol will evaporate quickly and not leave a residue.
!
After cleaning, always wipe the unit with a clean, lint-free cloth.
!
Occasionally clean the air vents on the computer. Lint and other foreign matter can
block the vents and limit the airflow.
