Cleaning the keyboard

Occasionally you should clean the keyboard to free it of dust and lint particles trapped under the keys. The easiest way to do this is to blow trapped dirt from under the keys using an aerosol can of air with a narrow, straw-like extension.

If you spill liquid on the keyboard, shut down the computer and disconnect the keyboard. Turn the keyboard upside down to allow the liquid to drain out overnight before trying to use it again. If it fails to work after draining, contact Technical Support.

Cleaning the monitor screen

Use a soft cloth and window cleaner to clean the monitor screen. Squirt a little cleaner on the cloth (never directly on the screen), and wipe the screen with the cloth.

Cleaning the computer and monitor cases

Always shut down the system and other peripherals before cleaning any components.

Use a damp, lint-free cloth to clean the computer case, monitor case, keyboard, speakers, and other parts of your system. Avoid abrasive or solvent cleaners because they can damage the finish on your components.
