Cleaning your equipment
Follow these general rules when cleaning the outside of your computer and
its components:
mUse a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the computer’s exterior. Avoid
getting moisture in any openi ngs.
mDon’t use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives.

Cleaning the computer case

To clean the case, do the following:
1 Turn off the computer completely and then disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug,
not the cord.)
2Wipe the surfaces lightly with a clean, soft cloth dampened with water.

Cleaning the monitor

To clean the screen, put household glass cleaner on a soft cloth and wipe the
screen. Don’t spray the cleaner directly on the screen, because the liquid
might drip into the monitor or computer.

Cleaning the mouse

The mouse contains a small ball that must roll smoothly for the mouse to
work properly. You can keep this ball free of dirt and grease by using the
mouse on a clean, lint-free surface and cleaning it occasionally.
You need a few cotton swabs and a clean, soft, lint-free cloth.
1 Turn off your computer.
