In addition to TV receivers, CurtisMathes produces a full line of audiovisual products built to the same high design, engineering, and manufacturing standards as this unit. Here are a few tips that will keep your TV receiver looking great and performing for years to come: • Avoid putting it in excessively hot locations. Damage to the cabinet or premature component failures can result. • There are ventilation holes in the bottom and rear of the cabinet. Make sure that they remain unobstructed. Do not place the receiver on top of a thick cloth. • If you don’t plan to use the receiver for several days, it’s a good idea to unplug it from the power outlet. • Many common household cleaning agents, sprays, solvents, and polishes will cause permanent damage to the surface of the cabinet. The best cleaning agents are mild soap and a damp cloth. Again, thank you for choosing this CurtisMathes product. We have employed advanced engineering techniques in its design, and manufactured it in one of the world’s most up-to-date production facilities. The result is a TV receiver that we know you will be as proud to own as we were to create.
