Cleaning and care

WARNING:

TV sets use high voltage. Do not try to remove the cabinet back. Refer servicing to qualified service technicians.

To clean the TV screen:

1. Unplug the TV to avoid possible shock hazard.
2. Use a clean cellulose sponge or chamois cloth dampened with a solution of mild detergent and warm water

to clean the TV screen and trim. Do not use too much water because water spills into the cabinet can cause
damage to the TV.

3. Wipe off any excess moisture with a clean dry cloth.
4. Polish the cabinet with a quality furniture polish to maintain the finish and appearance of the cabinet.

Caution:

Never use strong solvents such as thinner, benzene, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet. These chemicals can damage the finish
of the cabinet.
