Care
For better performance and safer operation of your TOSHIBA TV,
follow these recommendations and precautions:
32) If you use the TV in a room whose temperature is 32 °F (0 °C)
or below, the picture brightness may vary until the LCD warms
up. This is not a sign of malfunction.
33) Always unplug the TV before
cleaning. Gently wipe the display
panel surface (the TV screen) using
a dry, soft cloth only (cotton, flannel,
etc.). A hard cloth may damage
the surface of the panel. Avoid contact with alcohol, thinner,
benzene, acidic or alkaline solvent cleaners, abrasive cleaners,
or chemical cloths, which may damage the surface. Never spray
volatile compounds such as insecticide on the cabinet. Such
products may damage or discolor the cabinet.
