Beware of condensation

If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used
after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of
condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal
mechanism, making correct operation impossible. To prevent
this, or if this occurs, let the unit sit for one or two hours at the
new room temperature before using.

Cleaning the unit

Use a dry soft cloth to wipe the unit clean. Do not clean the
unit with a chemically treated cloth or substances such as
benzene, thinner and alcohol because they might cause
damage to the surface of the unit.
