victron Phoenix 12/500 heats up when you have moderate consumption

The inverter heats up, when I connect it to an Inverter washing machine since the consumption fluctuates a lot, the fan that it brings only works when consumption is high and that worries me,

The inverter is protected against overheating whether it be ambient temp or overloading. Ensure you have it well ventilated with at least 10cm spaces around it. It is only a 400W continuous output inverter, but it sounds like the fan works as intended. What is the temp as hot is quite hard to guage with an actual value.
