Place your console horizontally (vertical positioning of the console is not supported) in an environment as follows:

On a stable surface
Well-ventilated, relatively cool, and away from direct heat sources
Uncluttered. Do not put other objects on, under, or right next to the console. For example, dont put an object on the top right of your Xbox One console. This may block the vents and cause your console to overheat.
