9. CLEANING AND TROUBLESHOOTING
9. 1 CLEANING
Cautions When Using the Plasma Display

 
Do not bring your hands, face or objects close to the ventilation
holes of the plasma display. Top of plasma display is usually very hot
due to the high temperature of exhaust air being released through
the ventilation holes. Burns or personal injuries may occur if any
body parts are brought too close. Placing any object near the top
of the display could also result in heat related damages to the
object as well as the display itself.

 
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the plasma display.
Moving the display with its cables attached may damage the cables
and thus case fire or electric shock danger.

 
Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety
precaution before carrying out any type of cleaning or maintenance
procedure.
Front Panel Cleaning Instructions



The front of the display has been specially treated. Wipe the 
surface gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, line-free cloth.

 
If the surface is particular dirty, soak a soft, line-free cloth in a mild
detergent solution. Wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Wipe
the surface of the display to remove dirt. Then use a dry cloth of
the same type to dry.

 
Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingers or hard
objects of any kind.

 
Do not use volatile substances such as insert sprays, solvents and
thinners.
Cabinet Cleaning Instructions

 
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth.



If the cabinet is extremely dirty, soak a lint-free cloth in a mild
detergent solution. Wring the cloth to remove as much moisture as
possible. Wipe the cabinet. Use another dry cloth to wipe over
until the surface is dry.

 
Do not allow any water or detergent to come into contact with
the surface of the display. If water or moisture gets inside the unit,
operating problems, electrical and shock hazards may result.

 
Do not scratch or hit the cabinet with fingers or hard objects of
any kind.

 
Do not use volatile substances such as insert sprays, solvents and
thinners on the cabinet.

 
Do not place anything made from rubber or PVC near the cabinet
for any extended periods of time.
