MOISTURE CONDENSATION
If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may form inside
the unit. In this case, do not operate it for two or three hours.
PRECAUTIONS
WHAT IS MOISTURE CONDENSATION?
When cold water is poured into a glass, for, example, water vapor in the air will condense
on the surface of the glass. This is called moisture condensation.
MOISTURE WILL CONDENSE ON THE UNIT IN THE FOLLOWING CASES;
•
When you move the unit from a cold to a warm place.
•
After heating a cold room or under extremely humid conditions.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE CONDITIONS;
Plug the AC cord to AC outlet, set the Main Power (ON) Switch to ON and leave the unit at
the room temperature until moisture condensation disappears.
Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may take two or three hours.
