How far from walls and other objects should the bread maker be placed during use?

The bread maker should be placed at least 5 cm (2 inches) from adjacent walls and other objects during baking, as the unit heats up during operation. Additionally, the appliance should be positioned on a firm, dry, clean, flat heatproof worktop at least 10 cm (4 inches) from the edge of the worktop. (Page 5)
