Your Notebook is cooled by
air that is drawn in through
the vents on the chassis and
blown out through the exhaust
fan. It is important to keep
the vents on the chassis free
of dust and debris. Brush any
dust away from the vents with
a damp cloth but do not
attempt to dismantle the
Notebook to clean dust from
the inside of the Notebook.
If you dismantle your
Notebook, you may
permanently damage the
components on your Notebook.
