Using and caring for your television
We have designed and made this television to meet European safety standards. But like any television you
must take care to get the best results. Here are a few tips to help you do this.
Use
This product is designed for domestic use only and is therefore not suitable for commercial use. Anything other
than household or similar general use according to these instructions may invalidate the guarantee and might
be dangerous.
Position
For best results, choose a position where light does not fall directly on the screen and at some distance from
radiators or other sources of heat. Unless they are magnetically screened, do not place objects which have
magnets in them next to the television or it could affect the quality of the colour.
Moving the television, coloured patches and magnetism
If you move the television the earth's magnetic field can cause coloured patches on the picture. The same can
happen if you put a magnet close to the television or you don't use the main power switch. To work the auto-
matic demagnetisation system and remove the coloured patches, the television must be cool and you must
switch it on with the main power switch. If the television is warm, leave it to cool for at least 15 minutes before
you switch it on.
Ventilation
Place the television on a hard flat surface where curtains and soft furnishings cannot obstruct the air flow
through the ventilation slots. If it is in a cabinet, allow at least a 10 centimetre gap all around.
Water and moisture
Do not use the television near water, for example near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swim-
ming pool, in a wet basement or in any damp environment. Do not place liquids, including flower vases on top
of the television.
Stands and supports
Use only stands recommended for the television, making sure that the fixings are properly tightened.
Never use a make-shift stand or legs fixed with wood screws. If you do use a stand, put the television on a
secure level surface
Cleaning
Unplug the television and use only a lightly dampened soft cloth to clean it. Do not use chemical solvents or
strong detergents as these may damage the cabinet finish.
Good advice
ead these instructions carefully before you try to use the television.
R
Protect the mains lead. You must make sure the mains lead cannot be walked on, crushed, chafed, cut, or so
on.
Don't continue to use your television if you have spilt liquids in it, if it is damaged in any way or if it does not
work normally. Immediately unplug the television and get expert advice.
Changing the mains plug. If you have to change the plug or remove it, or if the fuse in the mains plug needs
changing, read instructions about wiring and replacing the mains plug or fuse we have given in this booklet.
Avoid harsh conditions such as wet or damp places, high humidity, places with extremely high or low tem-
peratures and places which have strong sunlight or are dusty.
Never let anyone, especially children, push objects into holes and ventilation slots.
Make sure that all electrical connections are properly made according to the connection and wiring instructions
we have given.
Don't leave the television switched on when you leave the it unattended for a long time, unless the timer is
being used.
