To remove dust near the screen, wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly dampened with a solution of mild soap and warm water. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine for cleaning. If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please follow the instruction provided on the package. The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over time. To ensure proper ventilation, we recommend you to remove the dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner, while the LED TV is powered off.

Preventing the TV from toppling over
To prevent the TV from toppling over, secure the TV to a wall or stand.
Placement for watching
We suggest you to watch the TV at a distance of 3-7 times that of the screen height, and not in excessive brightness. It is easy to cause eye fatigue if you watch TV for too long or in a dark room. To obtain clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight. Use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling if you can.
LCD SCREEN
•Although the LCD screen is made with high precision
technology and has effective pixels of 99.99% or more, black dots or bright points or light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a str uctural property of the LCD panel and is not a malfunction.
•The LCD screen is made with high-precision technology. To
achieve a high level of perfor mance and picture quality, this TV’s backlight setting is set to maximize the brightness of the TV. However, uneven brightness may be obser ved when the LED TV is viewed in a dark environment without an input source or a blank screen. This is a normal condition, not a malfunction of the TV. To improve this condition, change the Picture mode, Backlight setting, enable the Light Sensor, or tur n on the Power management.
•Avoid exposing the LCD screen surface to direct sunlight. It
is likely to damage the LCD panel.
•Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or place objects on
top of the TV. The image may be uneven or the LCD panel may be damaged.
•If the TV is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in the
picture or the picture may become dark. It is not caused by a failure. This condition will improve as the temperature rises.
•When still pictures are displayed continuously, ghosting may
occur. It should disappear after a shor t period of time.
•The screen and cabinet get warm when the TV is in use. This
is a normal condition.
•Spraying insect repellent with volatile material on the screen
will cause damage.
•Do not make prolonged contact with rubber or plastic
material.
Broken pieces
Do not throw anything at the TV. Doing so may break the screen glass and cause serious injury. If the surface of the TV cracks, unplug the AC power cord before touching the TV. Otherwise electric shock may result.
Handling of broken glass and liquid crystal leakage
If the LCD panel gets damaged, crystalline liquid leakage may occur, or scattered broken glass may result. Do not touch broken glass or crystalline liquid which is toxic, with bare hands as cuts, poisoning or skin irritation may occur. Also do not glass fragments or leaked crystalline liquid get into your eyes or mouth. Should either contacted your eyes or mouth, rinse the contacted area thoroughly with water and consult your doctor.
SERVICING
Do not attempt to repair the TV yourself, since opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Ask qualified service personnel to do the servicing for your TV.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician certifies in writing that he/she has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may cause a fire, an electric shock or other hazards.
