Safety information
Avoid placing your TV set under direct sunlight

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose
your TV to rain or moisture.
Take care not to connect too many equipment
to the same mains socket as it may cause
overloading resulting in fire or electric shock.
Pull the power lead by the plug. Do not pull on
the power lead. Do not use a poor fitting mains
socket. Insert the plug fully into the mains. If it is
loose, it may cause arching and result in fire.
No naked flame sources (lighted candles) should
be placed on the top of the set or near it.
When cleaning the surface or the screen of the
set, wipe gently with absorbent cotton or cloth
or other soft material like chamois. Do not use
too wet a cloth which is dripping with water.
Do not use acetone, toulene or alcohol to
clean the TV. As a safety precaution, unplug the
power cord from the mains.
As a safety precaution, do not touch any part of
the TV, power lead or aerial lead during lightning
storms.
Installation of the TV set on the wall should be
carried out by qualified serviceman. Improper
and incorrect installation may render the set
unsafe.
Avoid placing vase filled with water on the TV.
Water spilled into the set could result in electric
shock. Do not operate set if water is spilled into
it. Have it checked immediately by a qualified
serviceman.
Leave at least 10 cm around each side of the
TV set to allow for proper ventilation. Place
the set on a stable, level surface. Never cover
the ventilation slots of the TV with a cloth or
other material. It may cause overheating. Do not
insert anything in the ventilation holes. If metal
