Maintenance tips
Looking after your TV
- Make sure your TV is sited in a well ventilated area, away from moisture, excessive dust and any heat sources such as radiators.
- Keep dust and debris out of vents and speakers.
- Don’t keep flowers on top of your TV!
- Ensure the set is sited against a wall, away from doorways and foot traffic and is on a sturdy enough base for its size.
- Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched/squeezed.
- Unplug the TV during lightening storms or when unused for long periods.
- Special care must be taken when handling a flat screen TV. Don’t touch, rub or tap the screen since it could scratch or permanently damage it.
Cleaning
- Before cleaning your TV, disconnect the plug from the mains.
How clean is your screen?
- Standard tube screens can be wiped with a wet cleaner (such as glass cleaner) or an electrostatic dust cloth.
- Plasma screens and liquid crystal display screens should be wiped clean with a dry, absorbent cloth. Never use a liquid spray, aerosol cleaner or alcohol. Only wipe in one direction, never in a circular motion.
- If the TV comes with its own cleaning kit, use it!
For a cleaner case
- Wipe down the frame with a dampened sponge or cloth. Never apply liquid cleaner directly to your screen or casing - the drips could damage the electronics. Buff afterwards with a dry cloth.
