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 deter-•
gent, 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
IMPORTAN T
DO NOT apply any type of liquid to the surface of
the TV screen.
Use only a soft, dry cloth to clean the LCD •
screen. Do not use any liquids.
Wipe the screen gently with an up and down motion.•
Clean the entire screen evenly, not just sections of •
the screen.
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 gently.•

Important Safety Instructions
Please read the following safeguards for your TV and
retain for future reference. Always follow all warnings
and instructions marked on the television.
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding
type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does
not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
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.
Replacement Parts
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.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart,
stand, tripod, bracket,
or table specified
by the manufacturer,
or sold with the
apparatus. When
a cart is used, use
caution when moving
the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus
during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.
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.
If Your TV Gets Damaged
Crystalline liquid may leak from the LCD panel and
broken glass may be scattered.
CAUTION: The crystalline liquid is toxic. Avoid
contact with your skin, eyes, or mouth. DO NOT
touch the broken glass or crystalline liquid. DO NOT
get glass fragments or crystalline liquid into eyes or
mouth. Should either contact your eyes or mouth,
rinse the contacted area thoroughly with water and
consult your doctor.
Disposal of Your TV
The LCD panel contains a small amount of crystalline
liquid which is toxic and should not be touched.
DO NOT dispose of the TV with general household
waste. For disposal or recycling information, contact
your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance at www.eiae.org.
