Caring for your computer
This section gives tips on cleaning and moving your computer. For
information about taking care of your computer’s battery, see
“Taking care of your battery” on page103.
Please handle your computer carefully to avoid scratching or
damaging the surface.

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 the display panel and
exterior case with a lightly dampened cloth.

Moving the computer

Before moving your computer, 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.
