To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.
Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water. Use a clean dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.
Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the cabinet back.
Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanenll marring of the cabinet finish.
