Never restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes. Do not place the
●
keyboard, with the keyboard feet down, directly against the front of the desktop unit as this also
restricts airflow.
Occasionally clean the air vents on all vented sides of the computer. Lint, dust, and other foreign matter
●
can block the vents and limit the airflow. Be sure to unplug the computer before cleaning the air vents.
Never operate the computer with the cover or side panel removed.
●
Do not stack computers on top of each other or place computers so near each other that they are subject
●
to each others re-circulated or preheated air.
If the computer is to be operated within a separate enclosure, intake and exhaust ventilation must be
●
provided on the enclosure, and the same operating guidelines listed above will still apply.
●
Keep liquids away from the computer and keyboard.
●
Never cover the ventilation slots on the monitor with any type of material.
●
Install or enable power management functions of the operating system or other software, including
Sleep states.

Cleaning the computer case
Follow all safety precautions in
To clean the computer case, follow these procedures:
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 because the alcohol
evaporates quickly and does 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.
