Secure Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation of the LCD
TV and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. There should be at least 4 inches
(10 cm) of space around the TV. The openings should never be blocked by placing the LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar
surface. This LCD TV should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.
