Maintenance guidelines
Cleaning your monitor
CAUTION: Read and follow the
monitor.
WARNING: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable
from the electrical outlet.
Improper cleaning methods can result in physical damage to Dell monitors. Physical
defects may affect the screen and body of the monitor.
Follow the instructions in the list below when cleaning the monitor:
• To clean the Dell Monitor screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water.
If possible, use a special screen-cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the Dell
Monitor screen.
CAUTION: Do not use detergents of any kind or other chemicals such as
benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, alcohol, or compressed air.
• Do not directly spray the cleaning solution or even water on the surface of
the monitor. Directly spraying liquid onto the panel will roll down to the bottom of
the panel and corrode the electronics resulting in permanent damage.
• Instead, apply solution or water to soft cloth material.
NOTE: Using cleaner may cause changes in the appearance of the monitor,
such as color fading, milky film on the monitor, deformation, uneven dark shade, and
screen surface peeling.
NOTE: Monitor damages due to improper cleaning methods and the use of
benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, alcohol, compressed air, detergent of
any kind will lead to a Customer Induced Damage (CID). CID is not covered under
the standard Dell warranty.
