Maintaining your TV
Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of time you can
enjoy your new TV.
Caution
Make sure that you turn the power off and unplug the power cord
before you begin any cleaning.
Cleaning the screen
Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of luke warm water and a little fabric
softener or dishwasher detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry,
and then use it to wipe the screen.
Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air dry
before you turn on your TV.
Cleaning the cabinet
Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of your TV with a soft,
dry, lint-free cloth. Never use a solvent or alcohol to clean your TV. Do
not spray insecticide near your TV. Such chemicals may cause damage
and discoloration to the exposed surfaces.
