procedures.
For safety, power off and unplug your system,
monitor, and any external devices before cleaning them.

Clean the outside of the computer with a soft clean cloth.
You can remove stubborn stains with a cloth slightly dampened with a
mild detergent. Never use a strong cleaner or solvent on any part of
the system.

Keep food and liquids away from your computer.

Periodically clean the keyboard with a vacuum cleaner brush
attachment. Do not use any liquid cleaners on the keyboard as they

If an object, such as a paper clip, falls into the keyboard, turn the
keyboard over and gently shake it.

Clean the monitor screen with a glass cleaner and wipe it with a clean,
lint-free cloth. You may use wet/dry cleaning pads manufactured for
monitor screens.
