Maintenance

Specifications

First, remove the mains plug from the mains socket.
Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal
Regular care: Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to remove dirt or fingerprints.
For stubborn dirt: (1) First clean the dust from the surface. (2) Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted
neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water). (3) Wring out the cloth firmly. (Please note, do not let liquid enter the TV inside as it may lead to product failure.) (4) Carefully wipe moisten and wipe away the stubborn dirt. (5) Finally, wipe away all the moisture.
Caution Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard,
otherwise this may cause scratches on the surface. Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect
repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint. The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily damaged. Take care not to tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard objects. Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may degrade surface quality.
Mains plug
Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may cause fire or electrical shock.
