1. Cleaning the Monitor

To clean the screen, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, dampen the cloth with a small amount of water or a mild, non-abrasive screen cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals, alcohol, or ammonia-based cleaners, as these can damage the screen surface.

To clean the monitor casing, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not spray cleaning solutions directly onto the monitor.

2. General Care
