the furniture and the television 
set to a suitable support.
•  Do not place the television set on cloth or other materials 
that may be located between the television set and supporting 
furniture.
•  For maximum safety while using your set, it is recommended to 
fi t anti-tip straps. These are designed to be attached between the

the event that a replacement mains cable is required, contact the 
manufacturer for a suitable replacement.

interference is apparent, move the device causing the interference 
away from the television.

from the socket.
•  Ensure that the mains plug is always easily accessible.
•  When handling the set do not grip the LCD screen/glass.
•  Do not pull the set when mounted on a bracket.  If using a
