Only use the manufacturer’s recommended
cabinets or stands.

Only use furniture that can safely support the
TV set.

Make sure that the TV set does not protrude
beyond the dimensions of the furniture on
which it is resting.

as kitchen cabinets, bookshelves) without
securely anchoring the furniture and TV set.

or in direct sunlight.

To ensure adequate ventilation, maintain
clearance of at least 10 cm around the TV set.

Some furniture surfaces may discolour when
they come in contact with rubber. To protect
furniture, you can place a sheet made of glass
or plastic under the stand. Do not use textile
underlays or mats such as doilies.
Environmental­information
7
Do not dispose of batteries in
the household waste. Used bat-
teries must be returned to retail
stores or public collection points. You help to
protect the environment in this way.
7
Be sure to dispose of packaging materials
for your product separately according to the
guidelines of local authorities so that they
can be recycled in an environmentally safe
manner.
7
If you are not using your TV set for a while,
turn it to standby mode. In standby mode, the
TV set uses very little energy (≤ 0.5 W).
If you do not use the TV set for an extended
period, turn it off with the power switch or
unplug the power cord from the socket.
7
Select a location for the TV set so that no
direct sunlight falls on the screen. This allows
a lower backlight to be selected, which saves
energy.
7
Do not dispose of the product
along with normal household
waste at the end of its service
life. Take it to a recycling centre
for electrical and electronic equipment.
