General Maintenance
If you need to clean the computer or display beyond wiping them down with a clean cloth,
follow these instructions:
1 Turn your computer and display off.
2 Disconnect the computer power cable from the electrical outlet or power strip. If your
display has a power cable connected to an outlet, disconnect it as well.
3 Disconnect the display’s cables from the computer.
4 Clean the display screen with soft, lint-free paper or cloth dampened with mild soap and
water.
5 Wipe the computer or display case surfaces lightly with a clean, soft cloth dampened
with water.
Don’t use alcohol, aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives that might damage the finish
on the case.
Protecting Your DVD-ROM or DVD-RAM Drive
To keep your DVD-ROM or DVD-RAM drive working properly:
m Position your computer so that the drive tray doesn’t bump into anything when it opens.
m Close the drive when you’re not using it.
m Do not put anything on the drive tray when it is open.
m Do not touch the lens with your fingers. Do not wipe the lens with a paper towel or other
abrasive surface. If you need to clean the lens, see an Apple-authorized service provider
for a lens cleaner.
m Keep your computer away from any source of moisture.
Warning Do not spray liquid directly onto the display screen. Liquid could drip inside
the display and cause electrical shock.
