Cleaning the TV/VCR
Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of your vacuum cleaner to dust your
TV/VCR. Remove dust from the ventilation holes of the cabinet.
Plastic surfaces are easily scratched and can be marred by alcohol and various
solvents. Avoid excessive use of oil-based furniture polishes since the materials
used in the cabinet will accumulate more dust. We recommend using a non-
abrasive, anti-static cleaner and polisher.
