PRECAUTIONS
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 to three hours.
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;

• After heating a cold room or under extremely humid conditions.
WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE CONDITIONS,
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.
