58 Chapter 4 Last, but Not Least
For your safety and that of your equipment, follow these rules for handling and
cleaning your MacBook Air and for working more comfortably. Keep these instructions
handy for reference by you and others.
Impor tant Safety Information
Proper handling Set up your MacBook Air on a stable work surface that allows for
adequate air circulation under and around the computer. Do not operate your
MacBook Air on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the airflow
vents. Never place anything over the keyboard when operating your computer. Never
push objects into the ventilation openings.
The bottom of your MacBook Air may become very warm during normal use. If your
MacBook Air is on your lap and gets uncomfortably warm, remove it from your lap and
place it on a stable work surface.
Water and wet locations Keep your computer away from sources of liquid, such as
drinks, washbasins, bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on. Protect your computer from
dampness or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and fog.
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric
shock, or other injury or damage.
