Intended use and environmental conditions

This TV set is intended exclusively for thereception and playback of picture and sound signals. The TV set is designed for dry rooms (living rooms and office spaces). It must not be used in rooms with a high level of humidity (e.g. bathroom, sauna) oroutdoors. High humidity and dust concentrations lead to power leaks in the set. This can lead to danger of injury and damage to the set by electric tensions or a fire. If you’ve brought the set from the cold into a warm environment, leave it off for around an hour due to the formation of condensation. Do not place objects filled with liquid overthe set. Protect theset from dripping and splashing water. Candles and other open flames must be kept away from the set at all times to prevent the fire from spreading. The materials we used in this device comply with all regulatory requirements. However, the migration of substances cannot be ruled out. We therefore suggest you avoid permanent contact between food and the TV set

Transport

Improper handling during transportationcan lead to damage to the display andrisks of injury. The screen consists of glass or plastic and can break if handled improperly. At least two people are required to transport the set. Only transport the set in a vertical position. No pressure should be applied to the glass or the plastic during transport. The correct unpacking of the set is shown in the operating manual 1. To avoid damaging the mechanical structure of the TV set and the floor stand, remove the TV set from its base and move the two parts separately. When the TV set is set up in its new location, at least 2 people are required to reassemble it.

Mains cable/power supply

Unplug the power cord immediately from the mains socket if you notice something unusual, or the unit shows recurring malfunctions. Incorrect voltages can damage the set. This set may only be connected to a mains power supply with the voltage and frequency indicated on the rating plate using the enclosed mains cable. The mains power plug of the TV set must be easily accessible so that the set can be disconnected from the mains at any time. When pulling the mains power plug out, do not pull the cable but the plug housing. The cables in the mains power plug could be damaged and cause a short circuit when plugged in again. A mains power cable with a damaged insulation can lead to electric shock and presents a fire hazard. Never use a damaged mains cable. If you use a portable multiple socket to connect the TV set, do not cascade several multiple sockets consecutively.

Air circulation and high temperatures

Like any electronic device, your TV set requires air for cooling. If air circulation is impeded, it may result in a fire. The ventilation slots on the rear panel of the set must therefore remain free. Please do not cover the set. ≥ 10 cm A. B. A. Table/stand foot: Leave at least 10 cm clear space around the set at the side and at the top. B. Wall mounting: Leave at least 10 cm of space all around the set at the side, above and below.

Foreign bodies

Foreign bodies inside of the set can lead to short circuits and fires. Danger of injury and damage exists. Therefore avoid metal parts, needles, paper clips, liquids, wax or similar passing through the ventilation slits of the rear panel into the interior of the set. Should something get into the interior of the appliance, immediately pull out the mains power plug of the set and inform the customer service department for checking.

Installation

A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

• ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or mounting methods recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
• ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the television set.
• ALWAYS ensure the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
• ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.
• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.
• NEVER place a television set in an unstable location.
• NEVER place the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.
• NEVER place the television set on cloth or other materials that may belocated between the television set and supporting furniture.
• NEVER place items that might tempt children to climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the television or furniture on which the television is placed.

Supervision

Do not let unsupervised children handle the TV set nor let them play in the immediate vicinity of the TV set! The set could be knocked over, moved or pulled down from the stand surface and injure people. Do not leave the TV set unattended when switched on!

Volume

Loud music can lead to hearing damage. Avoid extreme sound volume, especially over extended periods of time and when using headphones!

Thunderstorms

Electrical surges due to lightning strike can damage the set both via the antenna system and via the mains power supply. During thunderstorms, pull out the mains power plug and all connected antenna cables from the TV set! If you have connected a network cable to the LAN port, remove this as well! Even in the case of prolonged absence, the mains power plug and all connected antenna cables should be disconnected from the TV set.

Cleaning and care/chemicals

Disconnect the TV from the mains before cleaning! Damages caused by chemicals can lead to adverse effects and development of fire. Never expose the set or accessories to aggressive (e.g. corrosive) chemicals such as alkalis or acids! Only clean the TV set, the front screen and the remote control with a damp, soft, clean and colour neutral cloth, without any aggressive or scouring cleaning agents! The loudspeaker panel of your TV set is textile-covered. Hoover the surface regularly with a soft brush attachment! For contaminations or stains: Moisten a soft, colour neutral cloth with detergent solution or commercially available stain remove and rub the stain gently away! You can also treat the stain directly with a commercial dry stain remover spray (hoover up the dust). Do not moisten the covering fabric directly with detergent solution or stain remover (risk of stain circle formation)! Do not use solvents to clean the fabric! Note the usage instructions of the manufacturer when using stain remover! When cleaning loudspeaker panels which have been exposed to nicotine, there is an increased risk of stain circle formation.
