Care and storage

Main unit
Keep the System out of the following locations
– Areas exposed to direct sunlight.
– Areas subjected to excessive humidity or dust.
– Areas exposed to direct heat from heating equipment.
Be careful against condensation
Extreme differences between System temperature and air temperature can cause water droplets
(condensation) to form on the System. The System will not operate properly while condensation is present.
If condensation forms, do not use the System for a few hours to allow the condensation to dry.
Take special care against condensation when the System is moved between two locations of very different
temperatures, or into a room where high humidity is present.
When a main unit becomes dirty
When the front panel or case gets dirty, wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Never use lacquer, thinner, benzine,
alcohol or contact revitalizer, which will cause discoloration or deformation.
