How to Place the Wii U Console

Wii U

In this article, you'll learn how to place your Wii U console.

Note: When disconnecting any plugs from the console or wall outlet, first turn the Wii U console off. Then carefully pull by the plug itself rather than the cord.

Complete these steps

  1. If you are using console stands, install them.
  2. Place the console on a flat, steady surface.
  3. Place the console in an area where its intake and exhaust vents have at least 4" (10 cm) of ventilation space.
    Important
    • Do not store the Wii U console in any location where these vents may become covered or obstructed (carpet, tightly enclosed space).
    • Do not store in a humid place, on the floor, or in any location where it may collect dirt, dust, lint, etc.
    • Do not place the console on top of other AV equipment.
    • Do not place anything directly on top of the Wii U console.
  4. Connect all cables to the Wii U console, ensuring that you hold plugs straight when inserting them into sockets.
  5. Ensure the AC adapter plug is completely inserted into the wall outlet.
