Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal

Regular care :

Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the dirt or fingerprints.

For stubborn dirt :

Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water). Then wring the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe away all the moisture.

Caution

Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard. This

•

may cause scratches on the surface. Take care not to subject the TV’s surfaces to water or

•

detergent. A liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure. Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent,

•

solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint. Take care not to tap or scratch the surface with your

•

fingernail or other hard objects. Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with

•

a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may degrade surface quality.

Mains plug

Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

Using cabinets or stands recommended by the

•

manufacturer or the television. Only using furniture that can safely support the television.

•

Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the

•

supporting furniture. Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example,

•

cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television to a suitable support. Not standing the television on cloth or other materials

•

placed between the television and supporting furniture. Educating children about the dangers of climbing on

•

furniture to reach the television or its controls.
