• Mount the inverter in such a way that it cannot be touched inadvertently.
• Do not touch hot surfaces.
• Wait 30 minutes for the surface to cool sufficiently.

Damage to the inverter due to moisture and dust intrusion
Dust or moisture intrusion can damage the inverter and impair its functionality.
