PRECAUTIONS
MOISTURE CONDENSATION
LOCATION AND HANDLE
DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTIONS ON THIS UNIT
FOR AT LEAST TWO OR THREE HOURS WHEN
MOISTURE IN THE AIR CONDENSES ON IT. LET THE
UNIT STAND WITH POWER ON (SEE BELOW).
WHAT IS MOISTURE CONDENSATION?
When a cold liquid is poured into a glass, for exam-
ple, water vapor in the air will condense on the
surface of the glass. This is called moisture conden-
sation.
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.
WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE CONDI-
TIONS,
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet, press the
POWER button to turn on and leave the unit at room
temperature until moisture condensation disappears.
Depending on the surrounding conditions, this may
take two or three hours.
