Removing And Fitting The Dust Removal Cover (Ventilation Slot Cover) - Fujitsu LIFEBOOK T731 Operating Manual

Removing and fitting the dust removal cover
(ventilation slot cover)
In order to ensure optimum cooling of the components in your notebook, you
should periodically clean the ventilation slot of the heatsink.
This ensures optimum fan performance. You can achieve the best cleaning
results with a small hand-held vacuum cleaner.
If necessary, you can also use a dry brush to release dust from the ventilation slots.
Do not use any cleaning liquids! Ensure that no liquid enters the device.
Be sure that you do not damage the ventilation blades in the process. Do
not use any abrasives for cleaning purposes.
To avoid overheating of the device, do not remove the ventilation slot
cover when the device is switched on.
