36)

WARNING: RISK OF SERIOUS

PERSONAL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT

DAMAGE!

• Never use chemicals (such as air fresheners,

cleaning agents, etc.) on or near the TV

pedestal. Studies indicate that plastics

combined effects of chemical agents and

mechanical stress (such as the weight of

the TV). Failure to follow these instructions

could result in serious injury and/or

permanent damage to TV and TV pedestal.

• Always unplug the TV before cleaning.

Gently wipe the display panel surface (the

TV screen) using a dry, soft cloth (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.
