5.3.2Cleaning the Computer Case

Follow all safety precautions in Section 5.3.1, “General Cleaning Safety Precautions,” before cleaning the computer.

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

■To remove light stains or dirt, use plain water with a clean, lint-free cloth or swab.

■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.

■For stubborn stains, use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. No rinsing is needed as the alcohol will evaporate quickly and not leave a residue.

■After cleaning, always wipe the unit with a clean, lint-free cloth.

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