Beware of condensation
When water vapor comes into contact with the surface of cold materi-
al, water drops are produced.
If condensation occurs, correct operation may not be possible, or the
unit may not function correctly.
This is not a malfunction, however, and the unit should be dried.
(To do this, turn the POWER switch ON and leave the unit as it is for
several hours.)
Be especially careful in the following conditions:
· When the unit is brought from a cold place to warm place, and there is
a large temperature difference.
· When a heater starts operating.
· When the unit is brought from an air-conditioned place to a place of
high temperature with high humidity.
· When there is a large difference between the internal temperature of
the unit and the ambient temperature, or in conditions where conden-
sation occurs easily.
