Keeping your computer clean and the vents free from dust helps keep your 
system 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

■

Isopropyl alcohol

■

Cotton swabs

■

A CD or DVD drive cleaning kit

Always turn off your computer and other peripherals, then remove the battery 
before cleaning any components.

Use a damp, lint-free cloth to clean your computer and other parts of your 
system. Do not use abrasive or solvent cleaners because they can damage the 
finish on components.

Your computer is cooled by air circulated through the vents on the case, so 
keep the vents free of dust. With your computer turned off and unplugged, 
brush the dust away from the vents with a damp cloth. Be careful not to drip 
any water into the vents. Do not attempt to clean dust from the inside of your 
computer.

You should clean the keyboard occasionally by using an aerosol can of air with 
a narrow, straw-like extension to remove dust and lint trapped under the keys.

When you shut down your computer, the power turns off, 
but some electrical current still flows through your 
computer. To avoid possible injury from electrical shock, 
unplug the power cord and modem cable from the wall 
outlets.
