Cleaning The Air Filter - Toshiba 57HLX82 Service Manual

Air filter care
The air filter prevents excessive dust from entering the TV. If the air filter
accumulates too much dust, the internal temperature of TV may rise,
resulting in possible malfunction; therefore, it is recommended that you
clean the air filter a minimum of every two (2) month.
This TV contains several cooling fans to moderate the TV' internal tem-
perature. The air intake for these fans is through the air fiter. 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 (agaist 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 dmage 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. Turn off the TV nad unplug the power cord.
2. Loosen the two thumb screw (by hand) on the air filter door (on the
