 +NOTE
 +
 +If the 3D Printer has a temperature below 16°C (e.g. directly after delivery in cold weather) there is a danger of air humidity condensing on sensitive electronic components. This can lead to severe damages due to short circuiting during commissioning.\\ Therefore, it is necessary to let the 3D Printer warm up to ambient temperature at its operating place prior to commissioning.\\ Regard the ambient conditions (see Technical Data) required for operation.
