Cleaning the sides and cover
To clean and disinfect the sides and cover, use a pre-moistened germicidal wipe to clean the sides
and cover. Fibrous materials, such as paper towels, can scratch the computer.
NOTE: When cleaning the cover of the notebook, use a circular motion to aid in removing dirt and
debris.
Cleaning the TouchPad and keyboard
CAUTION: Never allow liquids to drip between the keys on the keyboard, even when you are
cleaning the computer. This can permanently damage internal components.
●
To clean and disinfect the TouchPad and keyboard, use a soft microfiber cloth or a static-free
cloth without oil (such as a chamois cloth) moistened with an alcohol-free glass cleaner or use
an acceptable germicidal disposable wipe.
●
To prevent keys from sticking and to remove dust, lint, and particles from the keyboard, use a
can of compressed air with a straw extension.
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.
