Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT - Please read these instructions fully before installing or operating
Unpacking and handling
Open the carton carefully and remove the polystyrene packing. Carefully lift the TV out and place onto a firm stable surface. Lift off the poly bag and retain all packaging for future use. Keep all packaging away from small children and animals. Remove Energy Efficiency label from the screen, this should peel easily, do not use any tool to remove this label.
Base fitting
This TV is supplied with a separate base to reduce packaging. See Page 23 for fitting instructions and wall mounting.
Positioning your TV
The TV should be placed on a firm table or shelf. If placing in a cabinet ensure there is sufficient spacing for air flow: 10cm above and 20cm at each side.
Ventilation slots
Do not allow objects to be dropped inside the ventilation slots, this could cause a short circuit and a possible fire. Do not allow chains to be dangled into the TV, a serious electrical shock may occur.
Ventilation and heat sources
Do not place material over the ventilation slots, this will cause the TV to overheat and fail. Do not place the TV in direct sunlight or near heat sources such as radiators or fires.
Connections
When connecting the TV to external sources and the mains supply do not place wires that can be tripped over. Do not trap or place heavy objects on the mains cable.
Candles and open flames
Do not place lighted candles (such as tealights) on the top or at the sides of the TV, or any other naked flame near the TV cabinet.
Disconnection device
Where the mains plug or appliance connector is used as the disconnection device, the disconnection device shall remain operable and must be accessible at all times. To be completely disconnected from the mains supply, the mains plug must be removed from the socket completely.
Moisture
Do not place the TV in wet or damp conditions, such as steamy kitchens, basements or other damp places. Do not allow water or other fluids to enter the TV. Do not touch the mains plug with wet hands.
Should moisture enter the TV, disconnect from the supply and call the customer helpline.
Cleaning
Use a soft dry cloth, for stubborn stains use a soft moist cloth with a dilute mild detergent. Do not use alcohol-based fluids or abrasive cleaners or materials.
LCD Screen
Do not hit or cause impact to the LCD screen. The screen consists of many individual pixels and is easily damaged. Bright or dark dots may occur and are not covered by warranty.
Lightning
During a thunderstorm or when leaving the appliance for long periods such as holidays, disconnect the aerial input (if external aerial) and remove the mains plug; this is to prevent power surges damaging the product.
Headphone use
