About this manual
This manual is common to several TV
models. Therefore, the model you bought

your set (see the drawing inside the cover
page of your manual).
For your safety
To ensure your own safety and safe opera-
tion of the equipment, observe the follo-
wing instructions thoroughly.
TV sets require sufficient ventilation to
prevent their components from overheating,
which will cause failure. Do not block the
ventilation openings at the rear. If you place
your TV set in a special piece of furniture,
make sure there is enough space for unhinde-
red air circulation. Do not place the TV set in
the close vicinity of a heater.
The TV set has been designed for use in dry
rooms. Should you use it, in exceptional
circumstances in the open air (example: on the
balcony, in the veranda or tent), you must
absolutely protect it against moisture (dew,
rain, splash water). Before switching on a cold
TV set in a warm room, you should wait until
any condensation in the screen has dried by
itself.
Maximum ambient temperature: 35°C
Maximum humidity: 85%
By the end of your TV evening or when away
from home for a longer period, we recommend
that you turn off the TV set with the
On/Off-switch.
Even when the On/Off-switch is in the
Off-position, your TV set is not fully
disconnected from the mains. To disconnect the
set completely, the mains plug must be pulled out.
The mains plug must be easily accessible.
In the following cases, we recommend that
you pull out the mains connector:
1. During a thunderstorm. In such a case, it
is advisable that you also disconnect the TV
set from the aerial socket.
2. When odour or smoke emanates from the set.
Never attempt to open your TV set yourself.
Further information:
The TV set shielding is sufficient to prevent
X-radiation to the exterior.
Any operation performed by a non skilled
person, change of high voltage or replacement
of the picture tube by a model not complying
with the manufacturer specification are likely
to cause considerable increase in X-radiation.
A TV set modified in such a way no longer
complies with the manufacturers’ specification
and must not be used.
About cleaning
The screen is to be cleaned with liquid glass
cleaners.
• Never use abrasive products.
• Clean the cabinet with a soft cloth soaked
with neutral cleaner. Do not use solvents,
such as white spirit or alcohol-based cleaning
products since they may damage your televi-
sion.
• At regular intervals, clean the ventilation
grids at the rear of the TV set.
About degaussing
The terrestrial magnetic field may have an
influence on your TV set. This influence is
revealed by the coloured spots, which appear
on the screen.
Should this be the case:
• Turn the equipment off by means of the
On/Off-switch.
• Wait about one hour before switching the
set on again.
This procedure performs automatic
degaussing of the screen. Should there still be
coloured spots on the screen, repeat the
operation.
