Outdoor unit
1 Select a site where noise and outflow air emitted by unit will
not annoy neighbours.
2 Select a site where there is sufficient ventilation.
3 Select a site where there is no obstruction blocking the inlet
and outlet.
4 The site should be able to withstand the full weight and
vibration of the unit.
5 Select a dry place, but do not expose the unit to direct
sunlight or strong wind.
6 Make sure that the outdoor unit is installed in accordance
with the installation instructions, and is convenient for
maintenance and repair.
7 Select a place where it is out of reach of children and far
from animals or plants.

around the outdoor unit as below:
more than 20cm
more than
50cm
more than
30cm
more than 1.5m
10 Note low temperature soldering alloys are not acceptable.
11 Reusable mechanical connectors may not be used within
indoors or within wall or ceiling cavities where a refrigerant
leak can gather.
Installation site instructions
A proper installation site is vital for correct and efficient
operation of the unit.
Avoid the following sites where:
• strong heat sources, vapour, flammable gas or volatile
liquids are emitted.
• high-frequency electro-magnetic waves are generated by
radio equipment, welders or medical equipment.
• salt-laden air prevails (such as close to coastal areas).
• the air is contaminated with industrial vapours and oils.
• the air contains sulphurous gas such as in hot
spring zones.
• corrosion or poor air quality exists.
Indoor unit
1 The air inlet and outlet should be kept clear of obstructions.
Ensure the air can be blown through the whole room.
2 Select a site where the condensing water can be easily
drained out, and where it is easily connected to the
outdoor unit.
3 Select a place where it is out of reach of children.
4 Select the place where the wall is strong enough to
withstand the full weight and vibration of the unit.
5 Be sure to leave enough space to allow access for routine
maintenance.
6 For optimum performance, the indoor unit should be
installed on the wall at a height of 2 metres or more above
the floor and at least 2.5 metres from the opposing wall.
7 Make sure that the indoor unit is installed in accordance with
installation dimension as below:
more than 15cm from
the ceiling
more than
15cm
more than
15cm
more than 2m from the floor
more than 2.5m from the
opposing wall
8 Select place about 1m or more away from a TV set or any
other electric appliance.
9 Select a place where the filter can be easily taken out.
10 Do not use the unit in the laundry or by swimming pool etc.
11 A minimum pipe run of 3 metres is required to minimise
vibration and noise.
12 Use a stud finder to locate studs to prevent unnecessary
damage to the wall.
13 Any variations in pipe length may require adjustment to
refrigerant charge.
14 Do not install near a doorway.
