SELECT THE BEST LOCATION

 

 

 

Indoor unit

 

 

 

There should not be any heat source or steam near the 
unit.  There should not be any obstacles blocking the air 
circulation.  Choose a location where air flow is good. 
Choose a location where condensate drainage can be 
easily done and where noise prevention is taken into 
consideration.  Do not install the unit near the en trance 
or exit of the room. Ensure the clearances indicated by 
arrows, from the wall, ceiling, fence or other obstacles. 
See figure 1.  There should not be any direct sunlight on 
the indoor unit. If unavoidable, sunlight prevention 
should be taken into consideration. 

Outdoor unit

 

 

 

If an awning is built over the unit to prevent direct 
sunlight or rain, be careful that heat radiation from the 
condenser is not obstructed. There should not be any 
animals or plants near the unit which could be affected 
by hot air discharged. Ensure the clearances indicated 
by arrows, from the wall, ceiling, fence or other 
obstacles. See figure 2 

Do not place any obstacles on the unit that may 
interfere with the discharged air flow. 
  

Placement of the 

 

outdoor unit

 

Anchor the outdoor unit with a bolt and nut 10 or 8 
tightly and horizontally on a concrete or rigid mount.
