Routine TV cabinet
and screen cleaning
Careful and regular cleaning can extend the the useful service life of the TV. Be sure to turn the power off and pull out
the plug before you begin any cleaning.
1. Here's a great way to keep the dust off the screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture
and a little
of lukewarm water
fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it's almost dry, and then use it to
wipe the screen.
2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before turning
1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet.
the TV on.
(Don't use any harsh, industrial
strength variety
of cleaner.)
2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.
3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning
the TV on.
Use a quality wood cleaner and polish. This will protect the TV from dirt and dust, as welt as keep the cabinet
looking new.
If you leave your TV dormant (Off) for a long time (such as a vacation), it's a good idea to unplug the power cord
to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges. If you use an off-air antenna, you may also
want to disconnect it from the back of your TV before leaving.
If you unplug the T[/, you may have to reset the clock using the Clock Set menu described earlier. See
