Preparations

Setting up, care and maintenance

Place of installation

Caution!

Protect the television against humidity and rain. The TV set should not be operated in rooms with high moisture levels. Do not place receptacles containing water on the TV, e.g. vases, flower pots. The combination of electri- cal current and water can cause fatal electric shocks.

Make sure that no objects can fall through the ventila- tion slits into the interior of the television as they may touch live parts.

Should any liquids or foreign objects fall into the inte- rior of the television, disconnect the television from the power supply immediately. Have the television checked by a specialist before using it again.

Note:

If the television is moved from a cold to a warm place, condensation may develop inside the television. Leave the television switched off for a few hours.

Moisture in rooms where the set is installed should not exceed 85% humidity.

Caution!

Make sure that the unit (most importantly the screen) does not come into contact with hard objects, especially during transportation!

The place of installation should provide a stable, horizontal, vibra- tion-free surface to ensure that the television stands safely and is not exposed to any vibrations. Vibrations could damage the sensitive electronics.

Any warmth generated when the television is operated must be al- lowed to escape freely. The ventilation slits on the reverse side must always be kept free. Do not cover the ventilation openings with curtains, cloths or newspapers.

Avoid direct thermal effects from radiators or sunlight. If in doubt, consult a specialist dealer. Heat build-up may cause electronic com- ponents to fail!

The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 350 celsius.

Position the TV in such a way that bright light or sunshine cannot fall onto the screen. Light sources of this kind will reflect off the screen and interfere with the brilliance of the picture.

Do not install the television set near equipment generating strong magnetic fields (e.g. motors, loudspeakers, transformers, etc.) as these may cause colour changes on the screen.

Caution!

Viewers should maintain a distance of 2-3 metres (4 times the diagonal of the image) from the screen to protect their eyes while watching television.

Cleaning

Caution!

Disconnect the mains plug before cleaning.

•Do not expose the surface of the screen to temperatures above + 80 °C and below – 40 °C!

Protect the television against extreme humidity.

•Do not write on the surface of the screen with a biro or felt-tip pen!

•Only use a cotton cloth to clean the screen.

•If necessary, use a cotton cloth and small quantities of diluted, non-alkaline soapy solution that is water-based or alcohol-based.

•Do not use any of the following substances:

Salt water, insecticide, chlorine or acidic solvents (ammo- nium chloride), scouring powder.

•Gently clean the surface with the cotton cloth until it is dry.

Caution!

Never

•wipe the screen using window cleaner

•treat with foam products

•clean by polishing or scouring.

Instructions for waste disposal

Packaging materials, such as e.g. foil bags, must be kept away from children (Danger of suffocation!).
