Caring for Your Computer

User's Guide

47

To clean your computer

You can clean the computer with a soft cloth dampened either with clean water or with
water containing a mild detergent.

•

 

Do not use an excessively wet cloth or allow water inside the case.

•

 

Do not use any abrasive cleaners, especially on the display. Do not apply any cleaner
directly to the display. Instead, apply the cleaner to a soft cloth and then gently wipe
the display.

•

 

You can clean the keyboard with a vacuum cleaner to remove accumulated dust.
