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

To clean the unit, wipe gently with a soft dry
cloth. Do not use any benzene, paint thinner,
ethyl alcohol or other chemical agents to
clean the unit as they could damage the
surface.
