Before you start

WARNING! Be sure to observe the following. Wrong treatment may cause damage to the TV.

• Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the power plug from the socket.
• Since special processing is carried out on the liquid crystal screen, do not touch the screen as much as possible.
• Do not apply detergent directly to the TV. The sprayed detergent may drip over the lower part of the screen or exterior part, and the TV may malfunction.
  
• Do not splash volatile liquid such as insecticide onto the TV or use solvents such as benzene, thinner, etc. The TV may deteriorate or its paint may peel off.
• If you let the TV contact rubber or vinyl materials for a long time, the TV may deteriorate or its paint may peel off.
• When using a commercially available chemical cloth or cleaning cloth, ask its sales company if you can use it for cleaning the TV.
• Do not use a commercial available screen protective filter.

How to clean

• Do not touch screen surface due to special treatment.
• For screen, gently wipe with microfiber cloth.
• Gently wipe dirt on the exterior (dust, skin oil of hands, etc.) with a dry, soft cloth, such as an eyeglass cleaner.
• If ink from an oil marker gets on the TV, soak a cloth in synthetic detergent thinned with water and squeeze it tightly, then wipe the ink off with it. Lastly, softly wipe with a microfiber cloth.
• When using a mild detergent solution, dilute it by less than 1%.
• Do not use detergent with abrasives such as a cleanser.
• The liquid crystal order may collapse by pressure when wiping the LCD and it may look like dirt. Turn off and on the power to recover this condition.
  
• Wipe the printed surface such as CH +, CH -, or HDMI2 of the TV carefully with a soft dry cloth.
• The printed surface may get damaged if scratched by your nails.
• Since the distance between the television and stand (table top stand) is thin, your hand may get pinched. It is recommended to use a mop with a stick.
  
• Dust may adhere near the vent of the TV. Tenacious adhesion may become a cause of failure. It is recommended to vacuum dust with a vacuum cleaner once a month.
  
• Soak a cloth in neutral detergent diluted with water, firmly wring it, wipe off the dirt on the remote control, and then lightly wipe the remote control with a dry cloth.
  Note: If battery fluid is leaking, wipe off the fluid in the battery compartment of the remote control well before inserting new batteries.
