Maintaining your TV

Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of time you can enjoy your new TV.

Caution

Make sure that you turn the power off and unplug the power cord before you begin any cleaning.

Cleaning the screen

Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of luke warm water and a little fabric softener or dishwasher detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then use it to wipe the screen.

Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air dry before you turn on your TV.

Cleaning the cabinet

Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of your TV with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Never use a solvent or alcohol to clean your TV. Do not spray insecticide near your TV. Such chemicals may cause damage and discoloration to the exposed surfaces.
