4.2.2 Cleaning the Computer Case
Follow all safety precautions in Section 4.2.1 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.

To clean the tops of the keys or the keyboard body, follow the procedures described in Section

procedures:
CAUTION:
Use safety glasses equipped with side shields before attempting to clean debris from under
the keys.

Visible debris underneath or between the keys may be removed by vacuuming or shaking.

Canned, pressurized air may be used to clean debris from under the keys. Caution should
be used as too much air pressure can dislodge lubricants applied under the wide keys.
