The TV set should be operated only from a
220-240 V AC, 50Hz outlet. Ensure that you
select the correct voltage setting for your
convenience.
Power Cord
Do not place the set, a piece of furniture, etc.
on the power cord (mains lead) or pinch the
cord. Handle the power cord by the plug. Do
not unplug the appliance by pulling from the
power cord and never touch the power cord
with wet hands as this could cause a shout
circuit or electric shock. Never make a knot in
the cord or tie it with other cords. The power
cords should be placed in such a way that they
are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged
power cord can cause fire or give you an
electric shock. When it is damaged and needs
to be replaced, it should be done by qualified
personnel.

place (avoid the bathroom, the sink in the
kitchen, and near the washing machine). Do
not expose this device to rain or water, as this
may be dangerous and do not place objects
filled with liquids, such as flower vases, on top.
Avoid from dripping or splashing.
If any solid object or liquid falls into the cabinet,
unplug the TV and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
Cleaning
Before cleaning, unplug the TV set from the wall
outlet. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Use soft and dry cloth.
Ventilation
The slots and openings on the TV set are

openings must not be blocked or covered in

exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine,
fire or the like.

on holiday, disconnect the power cord from the
wall outlet.
Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, make
