Cleaning the notebook screen

Caution

is made of specially
coated glass and can
be scratched or
damaged by abrasive
or ammonia-based
glass cleaners.

You should clean the keyboard occasionally by
using an aerosol can of air with a narrow,
straw-like extension to remove dust and lint
trapped under the keys.
If you spill liquid on the keyboard, turn off your
notebook and turn the notebook upside down.
Let the liquid drain, then let the keyboard dry
before trying to use it again. If the keyboard does
not work after it dries, you may need to
replace it. A replacement keyboard may not be
covered by your warranty.
Use a soft cloth and water to clean the LCD
screen. Squirt a little water on the cloth (never
directly on the screen), and wipe the screen with
the cloth.
Wipe from the center to the edge, not around in
a circle, using a product made especially for the
purpose.
