Caring for Your TV You can clean the TV as required, using a soft cloth or the dusting attachment for your vacuum cleaner. Be sure to occasionally vacuum the ventilation slots in the cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation. To clean the TV screen, use a soft cloth dampened with a diluted soap and water mixture. Do not use furniture polish on the TV cabinet or screen. While cleaning, do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the TV. Also, avoid placing drinks or vases with water on top of the TV. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the TV. 27 References Commercial Products Limited Warranty What your warranty covers: Any defect in materials or workmanship.

This is a global effort which encompasses every THOMSON facility throughout the world. We believe that clean air, clean water, a protected earth, and healthy people are not only practical and desirable goals, but achievable ones as well. Our Corporate Environmental, Health and Safety Charter acknowledges our commitment to protect these precious assets and provides a challenging vision and guideline for conducting our business. Below are a few examples of Thomson’s achievements in our efforts to preserve our natural resources. The Earth Thomson reclaims millions of pounds of hazardous waste annually, diverting it from landfills. Thomson treats millions of pounds of waste water sludge annually and renders it nonhazardous. Thomson recycles over 50 million pounds of nonhazardous material annually that otherwise would have been treated as trash, an overall recovery rate of 50%. Thomson globally recycles millions of pounds of broken television picture tube glass annually through both internal and external reclaim processes. The Air The water Thomson has replaced solvent-based paints at many locations resulting in an 80% reduction in toxic air emissions for equivalent material used. Thomson recovers over 2 million pounds of fine glass particles from process water each year and recycles them back into its glass furnaces. Thomson has eliminated the use of ozone-depleting substances at television manufacturing facilities around the world. Thomson collects and returns over 1.5 million pounds of glass and furnace dust to the glass making process annually. Thomson has launched worldwide energy savings programs which contribute to efforts to reduce air emissions from electrical generating facilities. Thomson’s state-of-the-art waste water treatment plants filter out over 26 million pounds of solids from process water each year. Thomson’s U.S. glass factory recycles 2,500 gallons of water per minute and cleans 2.6 million gallons of water per day. Thomson is researching new processes and is developing new manufacturing equipment and technologies to further reduce large volume water use. Thomson has also increased its usage of recycled materials for packaging of our products. For example, in Mexico our television plants use recycled content in our television cartons and instruction booklets. The inks used for the print on cartons and instruction booklets are soy based.
