weight of this equipment.
5. Ventilation
Do not place the equipment on a bed, sofa, rug or similar soft surface, or
in an enclosed bookcase or cabinet, since ventilation may be impeded.
Keep a minimum of 5cm (2 inches) clear around the apparatus to allow
sufficient passage of air.

Unplug the unit from the mains supply before cleaning. The case should
normally only require a wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use
chemical solvents for cleaning. We do not advise the use of furniture
cleaning sprays or polishes as they can cause permanent white marks.
9. Power sources
