The machine alone weighs approximately 65 kg and thus requires two people to lift or move.
The machine should be operated indoors within the nominal temperature range of 10-35℃.
The machine should be placed on a rigid and level surface.
The recommended space requirements for the machine are 100 cm by 70 cm with at least 120 cm height to allow for the enclosure lid to open. If placed on a table or work surface, the surface should be able to support 65 kg.
The machine is powered from a standard 120VAC 15A wall outlet.
A strong and secured wireless network or ethernet connection is required.
