the top panel. Do not install the machine where the
left and upper rear side air flows might be blocked.
A minimum clearance of 6 inches is required at the
left and upper rear side for air circulation.

location where it has enough space around it to be
accessible for service. Avoid hot, dirty and
crowded locations.
NOTE: Do NOT place anything on top of the
machine. Leave the upper louvers open for
proper air exhaust.
