Caring for your computer
This section gives tips on cleaning and moving your computer.
Please handle your computer carefully to avoid scratches and
damage.

Cleaning the computer

Keep liquids, including cleaning fluid, out of the computer’s
keyboard, speaker, and other openings. Never spray cleaner directly
onto the computer and/or display. Never use harsh or caustic
chemical products to clean the computer.
To keep your computer clean, gently wipe with a lightly dampened
cloth.

Moving the computer

Before moving your computer to a new location, even across the
room, make sure all drive activity has ended (the internal storage
drive and optical disc drive indicator lights stop glowing) and all
external peripheral cables are disconnected.
Before moving your computer, shut down the computer and
disconnect the power cable/cord.
