Cleaning your computer

Use the following products to safely clean your computer:

●Dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride 0.3 percent maximum concentration (for example, disposable wipes, which come in a variety of brands).

●Alcohol-free glass-cleaning fluid

●Water with mild soap solution

●Dry microfiber cleaning cloth or a chamois (static-free cloth without oil)

●Static-free cloth wipes

CAUTION: Avoid strong cleaning solvents that can permanently damage your computer. If you are not sure that a cleaning product is safe for your computer, check the product contents to make sure that ingredients such as alcohol, acetone, ammonium chloride, methylene chloride, and hydrocarbons are not included in the product.

Fibrous materials, such as paper towels, can scratch the computer. Over time, dirt particles and cleaning agents can get trapped in the scratches.

Follow the procedures in this section to safely clean your computer.

WARNING! To prevent electric shock or damage to components, do not attempt to clean your computer while it is turned on.

●Turn off the computer.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to internal components, do not spray cleaning agents or liquids directly on any computer surface. Liquids dripped on the surface can permanently damage internal components.
