Cautions on handling

About care

0Clean the cabinet and dust cover with the wiping cloth. Follow the

instructions when using a chemical cleaner.

0Benzene, paint thinner or other organic solvents as well as insecticide

may cause material changes and discoloration if brought into contact

with the unit, and should therefore not be used.

About condensation

If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of the unit

and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on the operating

parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate properly. If this

happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power turned off and

wait until there is little difference in temperature before using the unit.

About lubricating

The motor does not require lubricating. Do not lubricate this unit.
