Cleaning Your TV

CAUTION

yyMake sure to turn the power off and disconnect the power cord and all other cables first.

yyWhen the TV is left unattended and unused for a long time, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet to prevent possible damage from lightning or power surges.

Screen, frame, cabinet and stand

To remove dust or light dirt, wipe the surface with a dry, clean, and soft cloth.

To remove major dirt, wipe the surface with a soft cloth dampened in clean water or a diluted mild detergent. Then wipe immediately with a dry cloth.

yyIf a fixed image displays on the TV screen for a long period of time, it will be imprinted and become a permanent disfigurement on the screen. This is “image burn” or “burn-in” and not covered by the warranty.

yyIf the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a long period of time, image burn may occur on the letterboxed area of the screen.

yyAvoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen for a long period of time (2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for the Plasma TV) to prevent image burn.

CAUTION

yyDo not push, rub, or hit the surface with your fingernail or a sharp object, as this may result in scratches on the screen and image distortions.

yyDo not use any chemicals, such as waxes, benzene, alcohol, thinners, insecticides, air fresheners, lubricants, as these may damage the screen’s finish and cause discoloration.

yyDo not spray liquid onto the surface. If water enters the TV, it may result in fire, electric shock, or malfunction.

Power cord

Remove the accumulated dust or dirt on the power cord regularly.
