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 televisions 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.
ŶWhen cleaning the TV, remove the mains plug

Carry out the work on a horizontal and level surface.
ŶAssembling the pedestal
Use the four assembly screws to fasten the left and right poles to the base securely.
Make sure that the screws are securely tightened.
