Notes

:

If the problem is not solved by using these troubleshooting instructions, 

turn off your TV, then turn it on again.

Customer Service at (800) 304-2204 (USA and Canada only). 

Maintenance

Just like with any other household appliance, the performance and life- 
expectancy of your TV depends on how well you maintain it. Follow the 
procedures described here to clean the TV case and the LCD screen.

Cautions:

• Make sure that the TV is turned off and the power cord is 

disconnected from the power outlet before cleaning the TV.

• Never spray or pour any liquid directly onto the screen or the case.

Cleaning

• Clean your TV with a soft, dry cloth. If surfaces are extremely 

dirty, use a soft cloth dampened with a small amount of 
non-ammonia, non-alcohol-based, mild, non-abrasive 
detergent.

• Clean the screen with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. If additional 

cleaning is necessary, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, 
non-alcohol-based glass cleaner onto a clean, soft, lint-free 
cloth, then wipe the screen.
