Cleaning your monitor

CAUTION: Read and follow the
WARNING: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable from the
electrical outlet.
For best practices, follow the instructions in the list below when unpacking, cleaning,
or handling your monitor:
• Use a clean cloth that is slightly dampened with water to clean the stand assembly, the
screen, and the chassis of your Dell monitor. If available, use a screen-cleaning tissue or
solution suitable for cleaning Dell monitors.
• After cleaning the surface of the table, ensure that it is thoroughly dry and free from any
moisture or cleaning agent before placing your Dell monitor on it.
CAUTION: Do not use detergents or other chemicals such as benzene, thinner,
ammonia, abrasive cleaners, alcohol or compressed air.
CAUTION: Using chemicals for cleaning may cause changes in the appearance of
the monitor, such as color fading, milky film on the monitor, deformation, uneven
dark shade, and peeling of screen area.
WARNING: Do not spray the cleaning solution or even water directly on the surface
of the monitor. Doing so will allow liquids to accumulate at the bottom of the
display panel and corrode the electronics resulting in permanent damage. Instead,
apply the cleaning solution or water to a soft cloth and then clean the monitor.
NOTE: Monitor damages due to improper cleaning methods and the use of
benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, alcohol, compressed air, detergent
of any kind will lead to a Customer Induced Damage (CID). CID is not covered under
the standard Dell warranty.
• If you notice white residual powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth.
• Handle your monitor with care as a darker-colored monitor may get scratched and show
white scuff marks more than a lighter-colored monitor.
• To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a dynamically changing screen
saver and turn off your monitor when not in use.
