• No naked flame 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.

or splashing of liquids on the set.
Useful Tips
• Do not leave your set on standby mode for a prolonged period of time. Switch off set
to allow it to be demagnetised. A demagnetised set supports good picture quality.
• Do not shift or move the set around when it is switched on. Uneveness in colour in
some parts of the screen may occur.
• Never attempt to repair a defective TV yourself. Always consult a skilled service
personnel.

environment, specialist companies recover used sets for dismantling and collection
of reusable materials (contact your dealer).
