Do not install the unit in the following places, as this may lead to
a fire, deformities, rusting or faults:
Places where oil is present (including oil for machinery).
Places with a high concentration of sulphurous gas, such as spas.
Places where flammable gases may be generated or circulate.

air directly affects animals or plants as they could be adversely
affected.
