Caution
DO NOT INSTALL THE COOLMASTERNET IN THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS:
Where a mineral oil mist or oil spray or vapor is produced, for example, in a kitchen. Plastic parts may deteriorate
and fall off or result in water leakage.
Where corrosive gas, such as sulfurous acid gas, is produced.
Near machinery emitting electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves may disturb the operation of the
CLOUDBOX and cause the unit to malfunction.
Where ammable gas may leak, where there is carbon ber or ignitable dust suspensions in the air, or where volatile
ammable such as thinner or gasoline are handle Operating the CLOUDBOX in such conditions can cause a re.
High temperature area or directly amed point. Heating and/or re can occur.
Moist area, where there is exposure to water. If water enters the inside of the CLOUDBOX, it may cause electric
shock and electrical components may fail.
