and a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent.

Wring the cloth until it's almost dry, and then use it to

wipe the screen.
2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before turning the TV on.

1. Usea soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet. (Don't use any harsh, industrial strength variety
of cleaner.)
2. Rinsethe cloth and wipe the cabinet again.
3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning the TV on.

Usea quality wood cleaner and polish. This wi[[ protect the TVfrom dirt and dust, as we[[ as keepthe cabinet
looking new.
