Install the outdoor unit in a manner to prevent mixing hot
discharged air with return air flow. Also the unit should be a
suitable distance from obstructions

ings are more than 72" tall, or if there is an obstruction on
top. Select the coolest possible place where intake air tem-
perature is not greater than the outside air temperature (maxi-
mum 113°F).
