Computer, Keyboard, and Monitor

CAUTION:

Before you clean your computer, disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet. Clean your

flammable substances.

To clean your monitor screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water. If possible, use a special

Wipe the keyboard, computer, and plastic part of the monitor with a soft cleaning cloth moistened
