Safety information

• remove mains plug when :
– the red light below the TV screen is ashing continuously.
– a bright white line is displayed across the screen.
– cleaning the TV screen. Never use abrasive cleaning agents such as scouring powder. Use a

– the set is left unattended for a long period of time.

• No naked ame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on top of the TV or in the
vicinity.

• Do not place your TV set under direct sunlight or heat.

• Leave at least 5 cm around each side of TV set to allow for proper ventilation.

• Avoid placing your set (e.g. near the window) where it is likely to be exposed to rain or water.

• No objects lled with liquids should be placed on top the TV so as to avoid dripping or
