Troubleshooting - Panasonic H-FS1442A Owner's Manual

any of the following locations since doing so may
cause problems in operation or malfunctioning.

levels or where the changes in temperature and
humidity are acute

≥ When the unit is not going to be used for a
prolonged period, we recommend storing with a
desiccant (silica gel). Failure to do so may result in
performance failure caused by mold, etc. It is
recommended that you check the unit's operation
prior to use.

plastic products for extended periods of time.

treated cloth.
