When connecting the ducts, do not touch the damper plate located behind the main unit.
Position and secure the ducts in the connection hoses and apply aluminium tape (field-supplied) around the connection
to avoid air leaks. The duct connection hoses have a previously installed sealing system.
Suspend the ducts from the ceiling so that the weight does not rest on the unit.
Cover the two outdoor ducts with suitable heat insulation material to prevent the formation of condensation.
Secure the flexible air duct to the outsides of the hoses supplied with the unit.

Heat-insulating material
Do not install ducts along complex layouts or sharp bends. The volume of air
may be reduced, leading to abnormal circulation noises. Particularly avoid the
following situations:
A: extremely tight bends.
B: multiple bends.
C: bends next to the outlet.
D: extreme reduction of the diameter of the connected ducts.
