location
When selecting a position for your unit you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the
room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 10°C and 43°C. Avoid
locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight
as it may increase the electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also
cause the unit not to perform properly. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or outdoor
installation. Do not drape the unit with any covering.
