Important information
Safety
Ensure that your domestic mains supply voltage matches the
voltage indicated on the identification sticker located at the
back of your set.This TV set is a class 1 appliance. It must be
connected to an electrical wall socket with an earth.
The TV set's components are sensitive to heat.The maximum
ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius.Do
not cover the vents at the back or sides of the TV set. Leave
sufficient space around it to allow adequate ventilation. Install
the appliance away from any source of heat (fireplace, ...) or
appliances creating strong magnetic or electric fields.
Moisture in rooms where the set is installed should not
exceed 85% humidity. If you have to use the TV set outdoors,
do not expose it to rain or splashing water. Do not
place any object containing a liquid (vase, glass, bottle,
etc.) on or near the set. Moving the set from a cold place to a
warm one can cause condensation on the screen (and on some
components inside the TV set). Let the condensation evaporate
before switching the TV set on again.
The button at the side of the TV set can be used to
switch it on and put it into standby mode. If you are not
going to be watching the TV for a lengthy period of
time,switch it off completely by removing the plug from the
mains power socket.
During thunderstorms,we recommend that you disconnect
the TV set from the mains and aerial so that it is not affected
by electrical or electromagnetic surges that could damage it.
For this reason, keep the mains and aerial sockets
accessible so they can be disconnected, if necessary.
Unplug the TV set immediately if you notice it giving off a
smell of burning or smoke.You must never, under any
circumstances, open the TV set yourself, as you run the risk of
an electric shock in doing so.
Before setting up your television set, make sure that the
surface you want to put the set on can support its weight (see
the list of specifications provided with the booklet). Don’t place
the set on an unstable surface (e.g. moving shelf, very edge of a
unit) and make sure that the front of the television set does
not overhang the surface it is sitting on.
Care
Use a glass-cleaning product to clean the screen and a soft
cloth and mild detergent to clean the rest of the set.
Important: Using strong detergents, alcohol-based and
abrasive products may damage the screen.
Dust the vents at the back and sides regularly. Using solvents,
abrasive or alcohol-based products could damage the TV set.
If an object or liquid enters inside the appliance, unplug it
immediately and have it checked by an authorised engineer.
Never open the appliance yourself since this may put you at
risk or damage the appliance.

the risk of screen burning, please observe the following

computer and video game images, logos, pictures, text) or
images in formats which do not fill the entire screen;
- Use a screen saver when using a computer;
- When displaying tables, graphics, etc.:
- decrease the contrast and brightness of the picture as much
as possible,

(photographs),

between dark and light areas (white characters on a black
background).
