Safety Information

For your safety

This set is to operate on a 220-240V AC supply

only. Take care not to connect too many

appliances to the same power socket as this could

result in fire or electric shock.

For environmental and safety reasons, it is

recommended that the TV set is not left in

standby mode when not in use. Disconnect

from the mains.

Never push objects of any kind into the set as

this could result in a fire or electric shock. Never

spill liquid of any kind on the set. If any liquid or

solid object does fall through, do not operate the

TV. Have it checked immediately by qualified

personnel. 

Do not open the cabinet and the rear cover of the

For your own safety, do not touch any part of the

TV, power lead or aerial lead during lightning

storms.

For ventilation, leave a space of at least 10cm all

around the set.

Never place the TV in hot, humid or excessively

dusty places. Do not install the TV where it may

be exposed to mechanical vibrations.

To prevent fire, keep inflammable objects or

naked lights (eg candles) away from the TV.

Clean the TV with a soft, lightly dampened cloth.

Do not use benzine, thinner or any other

chemicals to clean the TV. Do not scratch the TV

screen. As a safety precaution, unplug the TV

before cleaning it.

on the power lead itself.

Take care not to place heavy objects on the power

lead as this could result in damage.

We recommend you wind any excess lead around

the holders provided on the rear of the TV.

Place the TV on a secure stable stand. Do not

allow children to climb on to it. Do not place the

TV on its side or face up.

Unplug the power lead before moving the TV.

Avoid uneven surfaces, quick steps or excessive

force. If the set has been dropped or damaged,
