Precautions for Selecting the Location
Choose a place solid enough to bear the weight and vibration of the unit, where the operation noise will not be ampli
fi
ed.
1)
Choose a location where the hot air discharged from the unit or the operation noise will not cause a nuisance to the neighbors of
2)
the user.
Avoid places near a bedroom and the like, so that the operation noise will cause no trouble.
3)
There must be suf
fi
cient spaces for carrying the unit into and out of the site.
4)
There must be suf
fi
cient space for air passage and no obstructions around the air inlet and the air outlet.
5)
The site must be free from the possibility of
fl
ammable gas leakage in a nearby place.
6)
Install units, power cords and inter-unit wire at least 10ft (3m) away from television and radio sets. This is to prevent interference
7)
to images and sounds. (Noises may be heard even if they are more than 10ft (3m) away depending on radio wave conditions.)
In coastal areas or other places with salty atmosphere of sulfate gas, corrosion may shorten the life of the air conditioner.
8)
Since drain
fl
ows out of the outdoor unit, do not place under the unit anything which must be kept away from moisture.
9)
NOTE
Cannot be installed hanging from ceiling or stacked.
CAUTION
When operating the air conditioner in a low outdoor ambient
temperature, be sure to follow the instructions described below.
To prevent exposure to wind, install the outdoor unit with its suction
•
side facing the wall.
Never install the outdoor unit at a site where the suction side may
•
be exposed directly to wind.
To prevent exposure to wind, it is recommended to install a baf
fl
e
•
plate on the air discharge side of the outdoor unit.
In heavy snowfall areas, select an installation site where the snow
•
will not affect the unit.
Construct a large canopy.
Construct a pedestal.
Install the unit high enough off the
ground to prevent burying in snow.
