Maintenance

First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.

Display panel

Regular care: Gently wipe the surface clean of dirt by using a soft cloth.

Major contamination: Wipe the surface clean using a soft cloth dampened with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water). Then, using a soft dry cloth, evenly wipe the surface clean until it is dry.

Caution

The surface of the display panel has been specially treated and may be easily damaged. Do not tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard object.

Take care not to subject the surface to insect repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances (this may degrade surface quality).

Cabinet, Pedestal

Regular care: Wipe the surface clean using a soft dry cloth.

Major contamination: Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or water containing a small amount of neutral detergent. Then, wring the cloth and wipe the surface clean with it. Finally, wipe the surface clean with a dry cloth.

Caution

Take care not to subject the TV's surfaces to detergent. (A liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.)

Take care not to subject surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances (this may deteriorate the surface by peeling the paint).

Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time.

Mains plug

Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. (Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.)
