    cabinet for allowing air circulation and cooling the projector.
    Minimum distance should be taken.  If the projector is to be built
    into a compartment or similarly enclosed, the minimum distances
    must be maintained.  Do not cover the ventilation slot on the
    projector.  Heat build-up can reduce the service life of your
    projector, and can also be dangerous.
    Do not put any flammable object or spray can near the projector, hot air is exhausted from the ventilation
    holes.
