Cleaning the computer

■Clean the computer using a slightly damp (with water) cloth. You can use glass cleaner on the display. Spray a small amount of cleaner on a soft, clean cloth and wipe the screen gently with the cloth.

Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer or let liquid run into any part of it. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the computer.

■Remove the dust from the cooling vents on the Left side of the computer regularly with vacuum cleaner. Refer to Chapter 2, Grand Tour, Left side.
