Cleaning your TV

Clean the screen and cabinet with a soft,
lint-free cloth. If the screen or cabinet is
especially dirty, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth in a
weak detergent solution, squeeze the excess
moisture from the cloth, then wipe the screen or
cabinet with the cloth. Use a clean cloth to dry
the screen or cabinet.
Caution
Avoid volatile substances, such as insect sprays, solvents, and
thinners.
Do not leave your TV in contact with items made from rubber
or PVC for long periods.
They may damage your TV.
Caution
Do not let liquids drip into the cabinet.

Do not try to repair your TV yourself. Refer all service to a

contracts from variation in
temperature. This is not a
malfunction.
