Cleaning the Computer Case

To clean the computer case, follow the procedures described below:

●For stronger stains, use a mild dishwashing liquid diluted with water. Rinse well by wiping it with a cloth or swab dampened with clear water.

●Occasionally clean the air vents on the computer. Lint and other foreign matter can block the vents and limit the airflow.
