Cleaning and Care
WARNING: TV sets use High Voltage. Do not try to remove the cabinet back. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
■To clean the TV screen:
1.First remove the plug from the power outlet to avoid possible shock hazard.
2.Use a clean cellulose sponge or chamois cloth dampened with a solution of mild detergent and warm water to clean TV screen and trim. Do not use too much water on the TV screen. Water spills into the cabinet and may cause damage to the TV. Avoid excess water.
3.Remove any extra moisture with the same cloth or a dry one.
■To maintain the finish and appearance of the cabinet, polish it from time to time with a quality furniture polish.
Caution: Never use strong solvents such as thinner, benzene or other chemicals on or near cabinet, as they might damage the finish of the cabinet.
