PRECAUTIONS
● How to clean the plasma screen panel of the monitor
Before cleaning the monitor, turn off the monitor and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.
To prevent scratching or damaging the plasma screen face, do not knock or rub the surface with sharp or hard 
objects.  Clean  the  screen  with  a  soft cloth  moistened  with  warm  water  and  dry  with  a  soft  cloth.  If  it  is  not 
enough, then use a cloth with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
● How to clean the cabinet of the monitor
Use a soft cloth to clean the cabinet and control panel of the monitor. When excessively soiled dilute a neutral 
detergent in water, wet and wring out the soft cloth and afterward wipe with a dry soft cloth.
Never  use  acid/alkaline  detergent,  alcoholic  detergent,  abrasive  cleaner,  powder  soap,  OA  cleaner,  car  wax, 
glass cleaner, etc. especially because they would cause discoloration, scratches or cracks.
