of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal
mechanism, making correct operation erratic or impossible .
To prevent this, or if this occurs, leave the unit for one or two
hours with the power turned on . The unit will stabilize at the
temperature of its surroundings .

a diluted mild liquid soap . Be sure to remove any excess liquid

damage the surface of the unit . Allow the surface of the unit to
dry completely before using .
