Cleaning your computer

CAUTION:
Remove any media from the drives and turn off all connected devices and the computer. Then,
disconnect all power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected
to the computer.
It is a good practice to clean your computer periodically to protect the surfaces and ensure trouble-free
operation. Use only mild cleaning solutions and a damp cloth to clean the painted surfaces of the computer.
Dust buildup compounds problems associated with glare, so remember to clean the screen periodically.
Wipe the screen surface gently with a soft, dry cloth, or blow on the screen to remove grit and other loose
particles. Depending on the type of the screen, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with an LCD cleaner or liquid
glass cleaner and then wipe the screen surface.

Maintenance

With appropriate care and maintenance, your computer will serve you reliably. This section provides
information about maintaining your computer so that it can keep working in better condition.

Basic maintenance tips

Here are some basic points about keeping your computer functioning properly:
• Keep your computer in a clean, dry environment. Ensure that the computer rests on a flat, steady surface.
• Do not cover any of air vents. These air vents provide airflow to keep your computer from overheating.
• Keep food and drinks away from all parts of your computer. Food particles and spills might make the
keyboard and mouse stick and unusable.
• Do not get the power switches or other controls wet. Moisture can damage these parts and cause an
electrical hazard.
• Always disconnect a power cord by grasping the plug instead of the cord.
