Cleaning the computer

To help ensure long, trouble-free operation, keep the computer free of dust
and use care with liquids around the computer.
■
Be careful not to spill liquids into the computer. If the computer does get
wet, turn the power off immediately and let the computer dry completely
before you turn it on again.
■
Clean the computer using a slightly damp (with water) cloth. You can
use glass cleaner on the LCD display screen. Spray a small amount of
cleaner on a soft, clean cloth and wipe the screen gently with the cloth.
Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer or let liquid run into any
part of it. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the
computer.
