Ventilation

When installing this unit, make sure to leave

space around the unit for ventilation to improve

heat dispersal (at least 40 cm at the top). If not

enough space is provided between the unit and

walls or other equipment, heat will build up

inside, interfering with performance and/or

causing malfunctions.

Slot and openings in the cabinet are provided

for ventilation and to protect the equipment

from overheating. To prevent fire hazard, do not

place anything directly on top of the unit, make

sure the openings are never blocked or covered

with items (such as newspapers, table-cloths

and curtains), and do not operate the

equipment on thick carpet or a bed.
