The air filter prevents excessive dust from entering the TV. If the
air filter accumulates too much dust, the internal temperature of
the TV may rise, resulting in possible malfunction; therefore, it
is recommended that you clean the air filter a minimum of
every two (2) months.
This TV contains several cooling fans to moderate the TV’s internal
temperature. The air intake for these fans is through the air filter. To
maintain maximum cooling efficiency of the fans, clean the air filter
regularly and never place the TV where the air filter will be blocked
(against a curtain, for example).
If the air filter becomes lost or damaged, replace it with a new one
before using the TV. Continued use of the TV without an air filter or
with a damaged air filter will allow excessive dust to enter and damage
the TV. See air filter ordering information at right.
Note: Always use the TV with a clean air filter in place,
or excessive dust may enter and damage the TV.
How to clean the air filter
1. Tu rn off the TV and unplug the power cord.
2. Loosen the two thumb screws (by hand) on the air filter door (on
the back of the TV), and then remove the air filter door.
3. Gently pull to remove the air filter housing from the TV.
4. Remove the outer and inner plastic covers from the air filter.
