keep it in a cool location (ideally, 71° F or 22° C).
Cleaning your Mac mini. When cleaning the outside of your Mac mini and its components, first 
shut down your Mac mini, then unplug all cords and cables. Then dampen a clean, soft, lint-free 
cloth to wipe the Mac mini exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. Don’t spray liquid 
directly on the computer. Don’t use aerosol sprays, solvents, abrasives, or cleaners containing 
hydrogen peroxide that might damage the finish.
Cleaning the Magic Mouse 2. Turn off the mouse, then unplug the cable (if necessary). To clean 
the outside of your mouse, use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth that’s been lightly moistened with 
water. Don’t get moisture in any openings or use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives. 
Cleaning the Magic Trackpad 2. Turn off the trackpad, then unplug the cable (if necessary). To 
clean the outside of your trackpad, use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth that’s been lightly moistened 
with water. Don’t get moisture in any openings or use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives. 
Cleaning the Magic Keyboard. Turn off the keyboard, then unplug the cable (if necessary). To 
clean the outside of your keyboard, use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth that’s been lightly moistened 
with water. Don’t get moisture in any openings or use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives. 
Cleaning the display. 
To clean your display, first shut down your Mac mini, then unplug all cords

liquid directly on the screen.
Accessories such as Magic Mouse 2, Magic Trackpad 2, Magic Keyboard, and displays are sold 
separately at apple.com or your local Apple Store.
Understanding ergonomics
When you use the keyboard and mouse, your shoulders should be relaxed. Your upper arm and 
forearm should form an angle that is slightly greater than a right angle, with your wrist and hand 
in roughly a straight line.

Change hand positions often to avoid fatigue. Some computer users might develop discomfort 
in their hands, wrists, or arms after intensive work without breaks. If you begin to develop 
chronic pain or discomfort in your hands, wrists, or arms, consult a qualified health specialist.

Mouse or trackpad. Position the mouse or trackpad at the same height as the keyboard and 
within a comfortable reach.
Chair. An adjustable chair that provides firm, comfortable support is best. Adjust the height of 
the chair so your thighs are horizontal and your feet are flat on the floor. The back of the chair 
should support your lower back (lumbar region). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for 
adjusting the backrest to fit your body properly.
Display. Arrange the display so that the top of the screen is slightly below eye level when you’re 
sitting at the keyboard. The best distance from your eyes to the screen is up to you, although 
most people seem to prefer 18 to 28 inches (45 to 70 cm). 
Position the display to minimize glare and reflections from overhead lights and windows.
