Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth to clean the screen and body. Avoid abrasive cleaners or spraying liquids directly onto the device. For the keyboard and touchpad, a dry microfiber cloth is recommended.
- Antimicrobial Guard Plus: Surfaces treated with Antimicrobial Guard Plus should be cleaned gently. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the protective layer.
- Ventilation: Ensure the laptop's air vents are kept clear of dust and obstructions to maintain optimal cooling performance. Do not place the laptop on soft surfaces like beds or pillows that could block airflow.
- Battery Care: To maintain battery health, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures. Consider using battery health charging features if available in the ASUS software.
