For optimum cooling, verify the condition of the air filters.
Regularly inspect the air filter. A dirty air filter restricts airflow in the unit, producing a
negative effect on the ventilation of the chassis. The filter degrades over time. You
must replace the filter every 6 months.
CAUTION: Always keep the air filter in place while the device is operating.

other materials into the through the unfiltered air intake. This could damage
the components.
