Cleaning

Regular cleaning will extend the life and performance of this unit. The recommended way to clean the display and related parts is described below.

Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

Cleaning the display panel body and remote control

Do not under any circumstances use solvents such as benzine or thinner for cleaner. Use of such liquids may cause deterioration or peeling of paint from the display or remote control unit.

Wipe the display and remote control gently with a soft cloth. In the case of excessive dirt buildup, dampen a soft cloth with a diluted neutral cleaning detergent and after wringing the cloth thoroughly, wipe the component and then dry it with a dry soft cloth.

Cleaning the screen

After dusting, wipe the screen gently using the supplied cleaning cloth or a soft cloth. Do not use tissue or a rough cloth. As the surface of the screen is easily scratched, do not rub it or hit it with a hard object.

Cleaning the vents

As a general rule, use a vacuum cleaner about once a month to clean the vents on the rear panel of the display of dust buildup (set the vacuum cleaner to its weakest setting when doing this).

Using the unit without cleaning it of dust will cause the internal temperature to increase, resulting in possible breakdown or fire.
