7. Installation, Transferring Works, and Checking

Regarding place for installation
Consult with your dealer for details on installation and transferring the installation.
Caution:
Never install the unit where there is a risk of leakage of flammable gas.
If gas leaks and accumulates around the unit, fire can result.
Never install the unit at the following place:
• where there is a lot of machine oil
• near the ocean and beach areas where there is salt air.
• where humidity is high
• where there are hot springs nearby
• where there is sulphurous gas
• where there is a high-frequency processing machinery (a high-frequency
welder, etc.)

Regarding electrical work
Caution:
• The electrical work must be undertaken by an authorized electrician
according to the local regulation, and the installation instruction manual
with the absolute use of exclusive circuits. The use of other products
