Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal
Regular care:
Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the dirt or fingerprints.
For stubborn dirt:
First clean the dust on the surface. Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent
to 100 parts water). Wring the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe away all the moisture.
Caution
● Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard, otherwise this may cause scratches on the surface.
● Take care not to subject the TV’s surfaces to water or detergent. Liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.
● Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may
degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint.
● The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily damaged. Take care not to tap or scratch the
surface with your fingernail or other hard objects.
● Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may
degrade surface quality.
Mains plug
Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may cause fire or electrical shock.
