Maintenance
First, remove the mains plug from the socket
outlet.
Regular care
●
Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet
and pedestal by using a soft cloth.
●
Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular
intervals. Moisture and dust may lead to fire or
electrical shock.
For stubborn dirt
First clean the dust on the surface. Dampen a soft cloth
with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part
detergent to 100 parts water). Wring the cloth and wipe
the surface. Finally, wipe away all the moisture.
Caution
●
Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard as
this could scratch the surface.
●
Do not subject the TV’s surfaces to water or detergent.
Liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.
●
Do not subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent,
thinner or other volatile substances. This may degrade
surface quality or cause peeling of the paint.
●
The surface of the display panel is specially treated
and may be easily damaged. Take care not to tap or
scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard
objects.
●
Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact
with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This
may degrade surface quality.
