moving from a warm place to a cold place or
vice versa, rapid cooling or heating, or direct
exposure to cooled air)
 High humidity in a room with much steam,
etc.
 Rainy season
 Condensation may damage the unit. If it
has occurred, turn the unit off and leave it
until it adapts to the ambient temperature
(approximately 2 to 3 hours).
