condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the

To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the unit sit for one or
two hours at the new room temperature before using.

the unit with a chemically treated cloth or substances
such as benzine, thinner and alcohol. This could damage
the surface or change the color of the unit.
