USING THE UNIT SAFELY
IMPORTANT NOTES
Placement
• This unit may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this unit in the vicinity of such
receivers.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near
devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed
vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature
extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the
unit.
• When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very dierent, water
droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit.
Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to
use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using
the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours,
until the condensation has completely evaporated.
• Do not place containers or anything else containing
liquid on top of this unit. Also, whenever any liquid
has been spilled on the surface of this unit, be sure to
promptly wipe it away using a soft, dry cloth.
Maintenance
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft,
dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened
with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth
impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a
