Cleaning the TV/VCR

Turn off the TV/VCR before cleaning.

You can clean the TV/VCR as required by using a soft cloth or the dusting
attachment of your vacuum cleaner. Be sure to occasionally vaccuum the
ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.

To clean the TV/VCR screen, use a soft cloth dampened with a diluted soap
and water mixture. Do not use furniture polish on the TV/VCR cabinet or screen.

While cleaning, do not spray liquid directly on the screen or allow liquid to
run down the screen or inside the TV/VCR. Also, avoid placing drinks or
vases with water on top of the TV/VCR. This could increase the risk of fire,
shock hazard, or damage to the TV/VCR.
