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.
