Installation Safety

• Ensure that the TV is placed in a position which allows free flow of air. Do not cover any ventilation openings on the back cover.
• Always ensure the power cord is routed safely away from danger and is not in a position in which it could become a tripping hazard.
• The television should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves or other products that produce heat.
• Place the television in a position where the screen is not exposed to direct sunlight. It is best to have soft indirect lighting while watching and you should avoid a completely dark viewing environment and reflections to avoid eye fatigue. Keep the product away from high magnetic fields (such as near an amplifier speaker) to avoid affecting the tint.
• Do not place the television on an unstable table, stand or shelf. The set may fall, causing serious injury as well as damage to the television itself.
• Do not place this television near water, for example near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a damp basement etc.

Cleaning

• Unplug the television from the power supply before cleaning. Do not use any liquid cleaners or harsh chemicals. Use a clean, dry, microfiber cloth.
