Maintenance

Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the television, is the responsibility of the user. To achieve the best result, follow the instructions to the right. Contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer to determine recommendations for regular maintenance.

Cleaning

Never use alcohol or other solvents to clean any part of the television, stand or wall bracket!

Cabinet surfaces

Wipe dust off the surfaces using a dry, soft cloth. Remove grease stains or persistent dirt with a soft, lint-free, firmly wrung cloth, dipped in a solution of water containing only a few drops of mild detergent, such as washing-up liquid.

The speaker cover may also be cleaned with a soft brush mounted on a vacuum cleaner, set to the lowest level.

Wipe the Beo4 remote control with a soft, lint-free, firmly wrung cloth.
