•
and fire or electric shock could result.
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall socket as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.
Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
•
Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it becoming dusty.
If dust built up on the power cord plug, the resultant humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in
•
fire. Pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet and wipe the mains lead with a dry cloth.
Cleaning and maintenance
The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a
cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
If the surface is particularly dirty, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or water to
•
which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added, and then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same
type until the surface is dry.
Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects, otherwise the surface may
•
become damaged. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and
thinner, otherwise the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been
•
added and then wring the cloth dry. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.
Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Plasma Display .
•
If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.
Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the
