Figure 12 - Minimum installation clearances around outside unit
(All models)
•
The outside unit is able to withstand bad weather
but avoid installing in a position where it is likely to
be exposed to significant dirt or flowing water (under
a defective gutter for example).
•
Water may drain away from the outside unit when it
is operating. You can let this defrosted water run off
over a gravel or sand bed or a concrete slab with a
diamond point and a sinkhole in the ground. If the
installation is in an area where the temperature can
be lower than 0°C for a long period, check that the
presence of ice does not present any danger. A
drainage pipe can also be connected to outside unit
(see § 2.4.3, page 16).
•
Nothing should obstruct the air circulation through
the evaporator and from the fan (fig. 12).
•
Keep the outside unit away from heat sources and
inflammable products.
•
Make sure the appliance not disturb the surrounding
area or users (noise level, draught generated, low
temperature of the air being blown out, with the risk
of freezing plants in its path).
The surface receiving the outside unit must be able
generally to support its weight; provide a solid fixing
and do not transmit any vibration to the dwelling.
