Beware of condensation
When water vapor comes into contact with the surface of
cold material, 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 a 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 condensation occurs easily.
