2. Cleaning

The screen should be cleaned using liquid window cleaner.

·Never use abrasive cleaners.

·Clean the front and cabinet using a soft cloth dipped in mild detergent. The use of solvents such as white spirit or alcohol–based products may damage your set.

·Make sure to clean the vents at the rear of your set regularly.

3. Demagnetisation

The earth’s magnetic field may affect your television set, causing coloured patches to appear on the screen. If this happens:

·Switch off the set using the ON/OFF button.

·Wait about an hour and then switch on again using the ON/OFF button.

This operation demagnetises the screen automatically. If coloured patches are still visible, repeat the procedure.
