30)Always unplug the TV before cleaning. Gently wipe the display panel surface (the TV screen) using
a dry, soft cloth only (cotton, flannel, etc.). A hard cloth may damage the 
surface of the panel. Avoid contact 
with alcohol, thinner, benzene, acidic or alkaline solvent cleaners, abrasive cleaners, or chemical cloths, which
may damage the surface. Never spray volatile compounds such as insecticide on the cabinet. Such products may damage or discolor the cabinet.
