location, or if the room temperature has changed
suddenly, pictures may be blurred or show poor colour
over portions of the picture. This is because moisture has
condensed on the mirrors or lenses inside the TV. Let the
moisture evaporate before using the TV.
Maintenance
• Save the original shipping carton and packing material to
use if you ever have to ship your TV. For maximum
protection, repack your TV as it was originally packed at
the factory.
• To keep the cabinet looking brand-new, periodically clean
it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a
cloth slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.
Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzene, or
abrasive cleaners since these will damage the cabinet. As
a safety precaution, unplug the TV before cleaning it.
• If the picture turns dark after the TV has been in use for a
long period of time, it may be necessary to clean the
inside of the TV. Consult qualified service personnel for
this.
Cleaning the Screen
• To remove dust from the front of the screen, unplug the TV
and wipe gently with a soft cloth lightly dampened with
water or a mild detergent solution, using vertical strokes
only. Then wipe it with a dry, soft cloth. Never use solvents
or thinners for cleaning purposes.
• To clean the screen with a cloth, please use a soft cloth
lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution or water.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner,
scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, or
antistatic spray.
As a safety precaution, unplug the TV before cleaning it.
• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with
sharp or abrasive items, like a ball point pen or a screw
driver. Otherwise, this type of contact may result in a
scratched screen.
