Care and Cleaning
First, unplug the Power cord plug from the wall outlet.
Display panel
The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the pane\
l surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-
free cloth.
 If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted mild liquid dish soap (1 part\
  mild liquid dish soap diluted 
by 100 times the amount of water) and then wring the cloth to remove ex\
cess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the 
display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type unt\
il the surface is dry.
 Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other\
 hard objects. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the \
quality of the surface may be adversely affected.
Cabinet
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in a weak mild liquid dish soap solution and then wring\
 the cloth dry.
  Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth\
.
 Do not allow any mild liquid dish soap to come into direct contact with \
the surface of the Plasma TV.
  If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.
 Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, a\
nd thinner; otherwise, the quality of the cabinet surface  may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods in contact with article\
s m ade 
from rubber or PVC.
Pedestal
 Cleaning
  Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is particularly di\
rty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to  which a small amount of mild liquid dish soap has been added and then wi\
pe with a dry cloth. 
  Do not use products such as solvents, thinner, or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the surface  coating. (If using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions \
supplied with the cloth.)
 Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make the surface of the\
 pedestal dirty. Do not allow long-term 
contact with rubber, vinyl products, or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)
