Check that there is a gap of 0.5 m (1.6 ft.) all around the machine to ensure that
cooling air can flow and escape unhindered.
Note: Air inlets and outlets must never be covered, not even partially.
Caution! Inadequate PE conductor connections can cause serious injury and
damage. Before re-fitting the housing cover, ensure correct connection of the
PE conductor.
Remove the housing cover and clean the interior of the machine with dry, reduced
compressed air

close to the electronic components.
If a lot of dust has accumulated, clean the cooling-air ducts.
