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.
