OPERATIONAL CLEARANCE
Approximately 30-40cm (12-18") of clearance
should be around this unit during operation for air
flow. Reducing this clearance will reduce air flow
to the machine causing operational temperatures
to increase. Possible damage to the machine can
result if to much air flow is restricted.
