Important safety instruction
Maintenance
• To clean your TV, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. If the 
surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dipped 
in a soap and water solution or a weak detergent 
solution.
• Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzene to clean 
this unit.
• Before using a chemically treated cloth, read the 
instructions that came with the cloth carefully.
CAUTION:  If water or other liquid enters the 
television through the display panel surface,  
a malfunction may occur.
Packaging
• The safest way to transport your item is in the 
original box/packaging - please save your packaging 
for this.
• You will need the original box/packaging in the 
event of warranty/service repair or support. We 
are unable to carry out warranty/service if you are 
unable to package the item correctly. 
Important information regarding use of video 
games, computers, captions or other  xed image 
displays
The extended use of fi xed image program material can 
cause a permanent “shadow image” on the LCD/LED 
panel, also known as “screen burn”.
This “shadow image” can appear in the background 
during normal viewing. This type of irreversible LCD/
LED panel deterioration can be limited by observing 
the following steps:
1. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum 
suitable viewing level.
2. Do not display the fi xed image for extended periods 
of time.
3. Turn the power off when not in use.
Examples of images that are more likely to cause 
“screen burn” are as follows (this is not an exhaustive 
list):
• TV channel logos: e.g. shopping channel logos and 
pricing displays - especially if they are bright and 
stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less 
likely to cause ageing of the screen.
• Time displays.
• Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for a long 
period of time
• TV/DVD menus: e.g. listings of DVD disc content.
• Pause mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode 
for long periods of time, e.g. when watching DVDs 
or videos.
Important: Once ‘shadow image/screen burn’ 
occurs, it will never disappear and is not 
repairable under warranty.
