could also result in heat related damages to the object as well as the display itself.
!Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the plasma display. Moving the display with its cables
attached may damage the cables and thus case fire or electric shock danger.

!The front of the display has been specially treated. Wipe the surface gently using only a cleaning cloth
or a soft, lint-free cloth.
!If the surface is particular dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in a mild detergent solution. Wring the cloth
to remove excess liquid. Wipe the surface of the display to remove dirt. Then use a dry cloth of the
same type to dry.
!Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingers or hard objects of any kind.
!Do not use volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinners.
Cabinet Cleaning Instructions
!If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth.
!If the cabinet is extremely dirty, soak a lint-free cloth in a mild detergent solution. Wring
the cloth to remove as much moisture possible. Wipe the cabinet. Use another dry cloth
to wipe over until the surface is dry.
!Do not allow any water or detergent to come into contact with the surface of the display.
