periods of time. Examples include:

displays. If you must use stationary
images, reduce screen contrast and
brightness to avoid screen damage.
Unplug the TV before cleaning.
Clean the TV and frame with a soft,
damp cloth. Never use substances such as
alcohol, chemicals or household cleaners
on the TV.
Risk of damage to the TV screen! Never
touch, push, rub or strike the screen with
any object.
To avoid deformations and color fading,
wipe off water drops as soon as possible.
Your product is designed and manufactured
with high quality materials and components,
which can be recycled and reused.
