Indoor Unit Placement
AVOID
Do not install the unit in the following locations:
• Areas exposed to salt or other corrosive materials or
caustic gases
• Areas exposed to extreme voltage variations (such as
factories)
• Tightly enclosed areas that may impede service of the
unit.
• Areas exposed to strong electromagnetic forces
• Areas exposed to acids or alkaline detergents (laundry
rooms)
DO:
• Locate the unit so that it is central to the area being
conditioned.
• Locate the unit so that it is not exposed to direct
sunlight.
• Locate the indoor unit so that the room can be
uniformly cooled. Install unit at least 90 inches (2286
mm) above the floor, if possible, for best performance.
• Select a structural location that can support the
suspended weight of the unit’s chassis.
• Select a location where condensate line will have the
shortest run to a suitable drain per local codes.
•
Allow sufficient space around unit for proper operation
and maintenance (filter must able to be removed from
the bottom of the unit).
• Install the indoor unit a minimum of 3 feet away from
any antenna, power cord (line), radio, telephone,
security system, or intercom. Electrical interference
and radio frequencies from any of these sources may
affect operation.
WARNING
Do not install the unit in an area where flammable
materials are present due to risk of explosion resulting
in serious injury or death.
Check suitability of structure to which the unit support
mechanism will be fixed to. If structure is not capable
of carrying the weight of the unit, unit may fall causing
personal injury or equipment damage.
Use the provided and specified components when
installing equipment. Failure to do so may result in
unit falling, water leaking or electrical shocks, causing
personal injury or equipment or property damage.
Consider the possibility of earthquakes in your area
when installing the equipment. If the unit is not correctly
secured, it may fall, causing personal injury or equipment
damage.
Safely dispose of packing materials, which include
nails, wood and other sharp objects, as well as plastic
wrapping. Children playing with plastic wrap or bags risk
the danger of suffocation.
CAUTION
Do not place items which may be damaged by water
under or around the unit.
The unit should be installed between 90 in. (2286
mm) and 156 in. (3962 mm) above the floor to ensure
maximum performance.
