Ventilation
When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the
unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 30 cm at top,
15 cm at rear, and 15 cm at each side). If not enough space is
provided between the unit and walls or other equipment, heat
will build up inside, interfering with performance or causing
malfunctions.
