Maintenance
To Clean the LCD Panel

approved soft cloth.
The screen is specially treated to prevent dirt 
from adhering to the surface, so dirt can be 
removed easily using a dry cloth (use only the 
approved soft cloth).
Remove the dirt, water, etc. as soon as possible. 
Otherwise, the LCD panel is stained or changes 
in quality.
If the dirt does not come off easily, breathe on 
the surface and try again.
