≥Place the unit on a surface that is flat and not subject to vibration or impact.

≥Place in an area where condensation does not occur.

Condensation is a phenomenon where moisture forms on a cold surface when there is an extreme change in temperature. Condensation may cause internal damage to the unit.

➜In the following situation, with the power off, let the unit adjust to the room temperature and wait 2-3 hours until condensation is gone.

Conditions where condensation may occur

–During the rainy season in tropical and sub tropical areas. –When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room.

–When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving from a very hot location to a very cold location, or when an extreme change in air conditioning or cooled air directly impacts the unit.)
