Observe recommended temperatures

Although this is more of a problem if you take the Nintendo Switch outside in these temperatures.

Nintendo refers namely that you should only use the switch in a temperature range of 5 to 35 degrees.

So, depending on what the temperatures end up being over the coming days, it could be more of a problem outdoors than indoors.

But even there you should make sure in summer that the fans of your console – not only on the switch – are not covered and that the device gets enough air.

“If you use the Nintendo Switch in a hot place, the temperature of the device may rise,” it said. “Please use it in a place with a temperature of 5 to 35°C. Even if the intake and exhaust vents are blocked, the temperature of the device may rise. Improves airflow to the intake and exhaust vents.”

“When the temperature of the main unit gets too high, it can automatically hibernate to protect the device. When playing in TV mode, place the Nintendo Switch Dock in a place where heat does not accumulate.”

“If there are foreign objects or dust on the intake and exhaust vents of the main unit, use a vacuum cleaner to remove them. For your own safety, do not disassemble the main unit.”
