Nintendo has issued a series of warnings for Switch owners using their consoles in the current hot weather.
The advice notes that the Switch should be used only in temperatures up to 35 degrees Celsius - so be careful in hot rooms, stuffy cars, or at the beach this weekend.
London is set to hit 31 degrees outdoors today as the UK swelters through a scorching week, while The Met Office has issued an amber warning of "extreme heat" which is set to last until next Monday.
"If the temperature of the main unit becomes too high, it may sleep automatically to protect the main unit," Nintendo continued. "When playing in TV mode, install the Nintendo Switch Dock in a location that does not retain heat.
"If there is foreign matter or dust on the air intake / exhaust port of the main unit, remove it with a vacuum cleaner. For your safety, do not disassemble the main unit."
