Hot Yamaha MG10XU
An excerpt from the Yamaha MG10XU Manual Describing The Issue

Yamaha does not seem to be concerned with any operating temperature up to 50° Celsius (122° Fahrenheit) from an operational standpoint, but they warn that it may cause burns or injury to the audio technician that may be operating the equipment.

Although Yamaha doesn’t seem to think there is any inherent safety issue with their console operating between 15-50°C, we recommend always turning the console off if you’re not using it.
