consumer products and some points may not apply to the goods you have just purchased.
Air Circulation
Leave at least 10cm clearance around the televi-
sion to allow adequate ventilation. This will pre-
vent overheating and possible damage to the
television. Dusty places should also be avoided.
Heat Damage
Damage may occur if the television is left in di-
rect sunlight or near a heater. Avoid places sub-
ject to extremely high temperatures or humidity,
or locations where the temperature is likely to fall
below 5°C (41°F).

230V AC 50Hz. Never connect to a DC supply
or any other power source. DO ensure that the
television is not standing on the mains lead. DO

this incorporates a special Radio Interference Fil-
ter, the removal of which will impair its perfor-
mance. In the UK, the fuse fitted in this plug is
