7. Ventilation The appliance should be situated so that its
location or position does not interfere with its proper
ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated
on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block the
ventilation openings or placed in a built-in installation, such as a
bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through
the ventilation openings. We recommend a minimum distance
of 50mm (2 inches) around the sides and top of the apparatus
to provide adequate ventilation.
8. Heat The appliance should be situated away from naked
flames and equipment, heat such as radiators, stoves or other
appliances (including other amplifiers) that produce heat.

We do not advise the use of furniture type cleaning sprays/
polishes as this can cause white marks, which are very difficult
to remove, if the unit is then wiped over with water.
