other serious problems. Leave
an adequate open space
behind the TV set for good
ventilation.

Even if your television is
switched off, it can still be
damaged by lightning striking
the mains and/or aerial cable.

instructions, and should use a
mounting kit approved by the
manufacturer.
To prevent fire, never place
any type of candle or naked
flames on the top or near the
