ventilation openings of the TV set, as this can cause fire,
electrical shock, or electrical failure.
Ventilation
Do not place this TV set in a confined area, such as on a
bookshelf or in a built-in case. Leave adequate space behind the
TV for proper ventilation.

Do place the TV set onto an even stand, table or track which
size is bigger than the TV set.
If the TV set is put onto a smaller size or uneven stand, table or
track may cause the TV cabinet distort.

table or track.
Uneven surface and excessive force

with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the equipment and cart combination to overturn.
