Unpacking
Remove the unit carefully from its packing. Find the remote control and
other accessories. Save the box as it will protect the product if you move
or need to return it for maintenance.
Placement
Place the unit on a solid, level surface away from sunlight, heat,
moisture, or vibration. Make sure that the shelf can support the weight of
the unit.
Place the unit close to the other components in your system and, if
possible, on its own shelf. This will make initial hookup, and subsequent
system changes easier.
The unit can generate heat during normal operation. Do not block
ventilation openings. Allow a minimum of 10 cm or 4 inches of
unobstructed space around the unit. If installed in a cabinet, make sure
that there is adequate ventilation.
Don’t stack other components or objects on top of the unit. Don’t let any
liquid fall into the cabinet.
