zone, there is a risk of damaging the glass parts, which could
cause them to implode.
The electrical connection must be installed and checked by
an authorized person.
4.1 Installation Location
Always set the unit up on a clean, stable, and flat surface.
Never at a location where there is a great deal of personal
