Cleaning the Computer
When it is necessary to clean the plastic case and keyboard, use a soft, lint-free
cloth, slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution or use the contents of any
commercially available computer cleaning kit.
c
Caution: Never use alcohol, petroleum-based solvents, or harsh deter-
gents to clean your computer. Also never spray any liquids directly on
the computer case, keyboard, or screen. If the liquid-crystal display
(LCD) screen has become smeared or dusty, clean the screen by first ap-
plying a mild glass cleaner to a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, and gently
wipe the glass. Never apply liquids directly on the screen surface.
c
Caution : Do not use paper towels to clean the display screen. Paper can
scratch the display screen matte.
