The lower portion includes a bottom wall portion and two inclined side wall portions which are raised from a periphery of the bottom wall portion. An outlet passage conveys air from the interior of the casing to a remote position. The two inclined side wall portions are formed with respective lower inlet openings which are connected to the second air passage and selectively closed and opened by respective pivot doors. Each door is arranged to pivot outside the casing.
