Chapter 4: Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning the screen

■Do not use substances such as glass cleaners, solvents, and thinners.

■The screen of your plasma TV has been specially treated. Wipe the surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.

■If the surface is particular dirty, use a soft cloth and water to clean the screen. Squirt a little water on the cloth (never directly on the screen), then wipe the screen with the cloth.

Warning The screen of your plasma TV is made of specially coated glass and can be scratched or damaged by abrasive or ammonia-based window cleaners.

Scratches on the bezel or glass are not covered by your warranty.

■Do not scratch or hit the surface of the screen with your fingers or any hard objects.

Cleaning the exterior

■Your plasma TV is cooled by air circulated through the vents on the case, so keep the vents free of dust. With your plasma TV turned off and unplugged, brush the dust away from the vents with a damp cloth. Be careful not to drip any water into the vents. Do not attempt to clean dust from the inside of your plasma TV.

■Do not use abrasive or solvent cleaners because they can damage the finish on components.

■Do not allow any excessive water or moisture to come into contact with the surface of your plasma TV. If water or moisture gets inside your plasma TV, operating problems and electrical and shock hazards may result.

■Do not scratch or hit the cabinet with your fingers or any hard objects.

■Do not place articles made from rubber or PVC near the cabinet for any extended periods of time.
