CLEANING THE TV
Be sure the TV is
unplugged before
cleaning it.
Use a nonscratching duster. Soak the wiping cloth in
cool, clean water and mild
detergent. Then ring the
cloth out before using.
Don’t use chemicals on or
near the TV.

WARNING

To avoid possible shock hazard, be sure the
TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet
before cleaning.

Cleaning the Cabinet

• Regularly dust the TV cabinet with a dry,
nonscratching duster.
• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a
soft, clean cloth. Even if the surfaces are
very dirty, do not apply cleaner to them
directly. Soak the cloth in a solution of
cool, clean water and mild soap or deter-
gent. Wring out the cloth and wipe the cab-
inet surfaces clean. Then use a clean, dry
cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.
• Occasionally vacuum the ventilation slots
on the back cover of the set. See the next
section on “Cleaning or Replacing the
Filters.”
• Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or
other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as
they might cause permanent marring of the
cabinet finish.
• The television contains plastic parts. DO
NOT use benzine, thinners, or other chemi-
cals to clean. DO NOT use insecticide or
other volatile substances nearby. DO NOT
allow the TV to come into contact for
extended periods of time with rubber or
vinyl products.

Cleaning the Screen

• Use a dry soft cloth to wipe the screen. Use
even, easy, vertical strokes. Take care not
to scratch or damage the screen surface.
Avoid wearing jewelry or using anything
abrasive.
