Handling a Broken Glass Panel
The glass panel is not tempered and will break into sharp pieces if mishandled.
If the glass is broken it must be carefully removed from the iMac to prevent irreparable damage
to the front surface of the LCD. If the front surface of the LCD is scratched by the broken glass the
LCD may need to be replaced.
Do not handle broken glass unless you are wearing protective cut-resistant gloves. The lint-free
gloves used to prevent contamination of the glass panel are not suitable for handling broken
glass.
Use a broom and dust pan to sweep up as much of the broken glass as possible. Glass fragments
may have travelled several feet from the location of the glass panel so be sure to thoroughly
clean the entire area. Use a vacuum to remove the smaller fragments not picked up by the
broom
