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 con-
dense on the internal mechanism, making correct op-
eration impossible.
To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the unit sit for one
or two hours at the new room temperature before us-
ing it.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the unit, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth.
Do not wipe with chemical cleaning cloths, benzene,
thinner, alcohol or other chemical agents. Doing so
could damage the surface or cause discoloration.
