VENTILATION
The slots and openings in the TV are provided for necessary ventilation.
To ensure reliable operation of the TV and to protect it from overheating,
these slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.
Unless proper ventilation is provided, the TV may gather dust and get
dirty. For proper ventilation, observe the following:
s Never block the slots and openings by
covering with a cloth or placing the TV
on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar
surface, or too close to furniture. It may
cause overheating and result in a fire,
an electric shock or serious injury.
s Never place the TV in a confined space, such as
a bookcase or built-in cabinet, unless proper
ventilation is provided.
s Do not install the TV face up, down or sideways.
s Do not install the TV turned over or upside down.
Objects and ventilation holes
Never push objects of any kind into the TV through the
cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result in a fire or an
electric shock. Do not place any objects on the TV.

s The TV must not be exposed to dripping or splashing. Do not place
objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the TV.
