•Only using furniture that can safely support the television.
•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.

•For best picture quality, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.
•If the TV is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, or is placed in a room in which heating has just been turned on, moisture may condense on the surface or inside the TV.
