The display screen surface scratches easily. After dusting, gently wipe the screen using the
provided cleaning cloth or a piece of soft flannel or cotton. Do NOT use a tissue, paper towel,
rough-textured cloth, or a wet cloth. Rough textures can scratch the screen and water can seep
under the frame edge. Also avoid rubbing or pushing on the screen.

LEANING THE
V
ENTS
Blocked or clogged panel vents can cause the internal temperature to increase. High
temperatures can damage the plasma’s components, resulting in a malfunction or fire. Use a
vacuum cleaner to remove any dust build-up from the vents. The best practice is to clean the
vents once a month or more often, as needed. Set the vacuum cleaner to its weakest setting to
avoid damaging the panel then lightly brush across the vents.
Note: For cleaning the plasma chassis, do not use solvents such as benzene or thinner. Wipe with a
soft cloth.
For additional assistance or cleaning questions, please contact your Pioneer Service
Representative.
