Maintaining And Transporting; Cleaning The Computer - Mitsubishi Electric APRICOT 340 Owner's Handbook Manual

5 MAINTAINING AND
TRANSPORTING
This chapter provides information on how to care for the computer
(excluding the removable-media drives). You'll find that it requires
little physical maintenance other than occasional cleaning. But you
must take care when transporting it to avoid damage to its delicate
components, particularly the hard disks.
Warning
Turn off the system unit and unplug all power cords before cleaning or moving
the computer.

Cleaning the computer

The system unit
Do not use sprays, solvents or abrasives that might damage the
system unit surface. Do not use cleaning fluids or sprays near air
vents, ports, or removable-media drives.
The monitor
Occasionally wipe the monitor with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free
cloth. It is best to use anti-static glass cleaner on the monitor screen,
but do not spray glass cleaner directly onto the screen; it could run
down inside the case and damage the circuitry.
Occasionally wipe the system unit with a soft, slightly damp,
lint-free cloth.
Occasionally wipe the air vents on the rear and sides of the
system unit. Dust and fluff can block the vents and limit the
airflow.
Occasionally clean the diskette drive using a proprietary head
cleaner.
