2. DO NOT
 block the unit’s ventilation openings or holes.
If the ventilation openings or holes are blocked by a newspaper 
or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.
When installing the equipment, make sure there is a space 
allowance of 10 cm or more on both sides, on top and at the 
rear of the equipment.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Moisture in the air will condense on the unit when you move it from 
a cold place to a warm place, or under extremely humid 
conditions—just as water droplets form on the surface of a glass 
filled with cold liquid. In conditions where condensation may occur, 
disconnect the unit’s power plug from the wall and keep it 
disconnected for a few hours to let the moisture dry, then turn on 
the unit.
