Clip
4) When the TV will not be used for a long period
of time, such as during vacation or travel,

used as the disconnect device, therefore
the disconnect device shall remain readily
operable.
5) Never pull on the power cord when removing

combination eects of chemical agents and
mechanical stress (such as weight of TV). Failure
to follow these instructions could result in
serious injury and/or permanent damage to TV
and TV pedestal.
1) Remove the power plug before cleaning.
Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to
clean the TV.
• These solvents may distort the cabinet or
damage its nish.

If dust has collected on the power plug
connectors, clean o the dust with a dry cloth.
This dust may cause a re due to reduced
insulation on the plug.
