Keeping Your System in Good Condition

Maintain the condition of your system by periodically using the following procedures.

For safety, power off and unplug your system and any external devices before cleaning them.

!Clean the outside of the system unit and LCD panel (but not the screen) with a soft clean cloth.

Remove stubborn stains with a cloth slightly dampened with a mild detergent. Never use a strong cleaner or solvent on any part of the system.

!Clean the LCD panel screen with a soft, lint-free cloth or a screen wipe designed for that purpose. Special screen wipes are available through your local computer dealer.

!Keep food and liquids away from the system.

!Periodically clean the keyboard with a vacuum cleaner brush attachment. Do not use any liquid cleaners on the keyboard as they can damage the keyboard.

If an object, such as a paper clip, falls into the keyboard, turn the keyboard over and gently shake it.
