MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
CARING FOR YOUR TV
Your TV will look better, have a longer life and perform
better if you care for it properly.
First check to see that the TV is off. For added
safety, unplug the TV from the power outlet.
NOTE: If you unplug your TV, you will have to
reset the clock to the current time.
Picture Glass Cleaning
The picture tube face attracts dust particles and should be
cleaned regularly. To clean the face, spray a small amount
of glass cleaner on a cleaning cloth and wipe the picture
tube glass face until clean. Repeat if necessary.
To delay new dust accumulation, wet a soft cloth in
lukewarm water in which a little fabric softener or Ivory
dishwashing detergent has been mixed. Wring the cloth al-
most dry. Wipe the glass face. Make sure no drops of mois-
ture are squeezed onto the glass. Do not wipe the glass dry.
Allow the glass to air-dry before you turn the TV on again.
Cabinet Care
Non-Wood Cabinet or Cabinet Components: Moisten a
soft cloth with a mild soap solution or Ivory dishwashing
detergent. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Then rinse
the cloth in clean water and wipe the surface again. Allow
the TV to air-dry before turning it on.
Wood Cabinets or Cabinet Components: Use any good fur-
niture cleaner and polish. Regular care will help preserve
the finish.
EXTENDED ABSENCE
Before an extended absence (such as a vacation) you may
want to unplug the TV from the outlet. This will protect the
TV from possible damage from lightning or power line sur-
ges. If you have an outdoor antenna, you may also want to
disconnect the antenna lead-in wires on the back of the TV.
