If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable
location, it can be potentially hazardous due to
falling. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be
avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
• Using cabinets or stands recommended by the
manufacturer of the television.
• Only using furniture that can safely support the
television.
• Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of
the supporting furniture.
• Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example,
cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the
furniture and the television to a suitable support.
• Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials
placed between the television and supporting furniture.
• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on
furniture to reach the television or its controls.
• The surface of the TV screen is easily damaged.
Be very careful with it when handling the TV. Should
the TV screen become soiled, wipe it with a soft dry
cloth. Never rub it forcefully. Never use any cleaner
or detergent on it.
• The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing and that no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be
placed on the apparatus.
• Do not allow objects or liquid into the
cabinet openings.
