Cleaning the display

CAUTION
:
To prevent permanent damage to the computer, never spray water, cleaning
fluids, or chemicals on the display.
To remove smudges and lint, frequently clean the display with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth. If
the screen requires additional cleaning, use premoistened antistatic wipes or an antistatic
screen cleaner.
Cleaning the TouchPad and keyboard
Dirt and grease on the TouchPad can cause the pointer to jump around on the screen. To
avoid this, clean the TouchPad with a damp cloth, and wash your hands frequently when
using the computer.

WARNING
:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to internal components,
do not use a vacuum cleaner attachment to clean the keyboard. A vacuum cleaner
can deposit household debris on the keyboard surface.
Clean the keyboard regularly to prevent keys from sticking and to remove dust, lint, and
particles that can become trapped beneath the keys. A can of compressed air with a straw
extension can be used to blow air around and under the keys to loosen and remove debris.
