• Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperature
changes. The case can become brittle and easy to break
in cold temperatures and can melt or warp in high
temperatures. Damage due to either extreme is not
covered by your warranty. As a general rule, your
computer is safest at temperatures that are comfortable
for you.
• Keep all liquids away from your computer. When spilled
onto computer components, almost any liquid can result
in expensive repairs that are not covered under a
standard warranty.
• Avoid dusty or dirty work environments. Dust and dirt
can clog the internal mechanisms and can lead to
permanent damage to the computer.
• Do not block the ventilation fan slots. If these slots are
blocked, your computer may overheat, resulting in
unexpected shutdown or permanent damage to the
computer.
• When storing your computer for an extended period of
time, unplug AC power.
Cleaning your computer
Keeping your computer clean and the vents free from dust
helps keep your computer performing at its best. You may
want to gather these items and put together a computer
cleaning kit:
• A soft, lint-free cloth
• An aerosol can of air that has a narrow, straw-like
extension
• Cotton swabs
• An optical disc drive cleaning kit
