Case cleaning

To keep up with the appearance of the computer a good wipe down with a lint-free cloth that has been slightly dampened with water is needed. It’s recommended not to use solvent cleaners on plastic so if you come up against tough stains, put a small amount of household detergent on the cloth.

Rub a cloth over the holes and vents to ensure all dust is cleared. Cleaning the ventilation will help maintain a steady airflow to the computer, keeping components cool and in good working condition.

General Tips and Advice

•    Never spray any liquid onto any computer component. If a spray is needed, it’s best to spray the liquid onto a cloth.
•    You can use a vacuum to clean the outer components of the computer. However, DON’T vacuum the inside as this can cause serious damage to your device.
•    Turn off the computer and disconnect any plugs before cleaning.
•    Try to always use water or a highly diluted solvent when cleaning. Some solvents can damage the computer case and cause allergic reactions.
•    Don’t eat or drink around the computer.
