To clean display (LCD)

Use the soft cloth included with the computer (For more information, refer to “Suggestions About Cleaning the LCD Sur-
face” that comes with the soft cloth.)
Cleaning the display while the power is on may cause the computer to malfunction. Also, dirt on the touchscreen is eas-
ier to see when the computer is powered off, and so is easier to clean.

To clean the touch pad

Wipe lightly with a gauze or other dry, soft cloth.

To clean areas other than the LCD panel and touch pad

Wet a soft cloth with water or a diluted kitchen cleanser (neutral), wring the cloth out thoroughly, and wipe the dirty area 
gently.  Using a detergent other than a neutral kitchen cleanser (e.g., a weak alkali cleanser) may adversely affect 
painted surfaces.

CAUTION

Do not use benzene, thinner, or rubbing alcohol since it may adversely affect the surface causing discoloration, etc. 
Do not use commercially-available household cleaners and cosmetics, as they may contain components harmful to 
the surface.
Do not apply water or detergent directly to the computer, since liquid may enter inside of the computer and cause 
malfunction or damage.
