Cleaning Recommendations
Normally, light dusting with a dry, non-scratching
duster will keep your TV clean. If cleaning beyond this
is needed, please use the following guidelines:
First, turn off the TV and unplug the power cord from
the power outlet.
Occasionally clean dust build-up from the air-intake
grilles on the back and sides of the TV. Clean using a
vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.
Top and Sides of the TV
• Gently wipe down your TV with a soft, non-abrasive
cloth such as cotton flannel, microfiber, or a clean
cloth diaper, lightly moistened with water. Dry with
a second dry, soft, non-abrasive cloth.
• For oily dirt, add a few drops of mild liquid detergent, such as dishwashing detergent, to the water
used to moisten the cloth. Rinse with a second
cloth moistened only with water. Dry with a third
dry, soft, non-abrasive cloth.
Screen
• Follow the instructions for the top and sides, wiping
gently in an up and down motion.
• Clean the entire screen evenly, not just sections of
the screen.
• Do not allow liquid to drip down the screen, as
some liquid may enter the TV through the gap
between the screen and screen frame.
• You may purchase Mitsubishi Screen Cleaner,
part number CLEANER-VSS, by calling
1 (800) 553-7278.
TV Software
• Do not attempt to update the software of this TV
with software not provided by or authorized by
Mitsubishi Electric Visual Solutions America, Inc.
Non-authorized software may damage the TV and
will not be covered by the warranty.
• Automatic software updates will be downloaded
over the Internet to the TV if StreamTV is set up and
connected to the Internet.
General Cleaning Precautions
• DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the
ventilation slots or any crevice.
• DO NOT use any strong or abrasive cleaners, as
these can scratch the surfaces.
• DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia,
bleach, alcohol, benzene, or thinners, as these can
dull the surfaces.
• DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the
TV’s surfaces.
• DO NOT scrub or rub the TV harshly. Wipe it
ge ntly.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges.

When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:

GUIDELINES FOR THE PROPER GROUNDING AND, IN PARTICULAR, SPECIFIES THAT THE CABLE GROUND SHALL BE CONNECTED TO THE GROUNDING SYSTEM OF THE BUILDING, AS
CLOSE TO THE POINT OF CABLE ENTRY AS PRACTICAL.
To avoid the risk of injury to the eyes and face, do not
look directly into the air vents while the television is
operating.
THIS REMINDER IS
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
