• unit.
•
Areas exposed to strong electromagnetic forces
•
Areas exposed to acids or alkaline detergents (laundry
• rooms)
DO:
•
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 as high as possible on the wall (8
feet above fl oor, if possible) for best performance.
•
Select a wall location that can support the weight of the
unit.
•
Select a location where condensate line will have the
shortest run to a suitable drain per local codes.
• Allow
suffi cient space around unit for proper operation
and maintenance (fi lter must able to be removed from
the top-front 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 fl ammable
materials are present due to risk of explosion
resulting in serious injury or death.
If the basis underneath the unit is not strong enough
to support the weight of the unit, the unit could be fall
out of place and cause serious injury.
Use the provided and specifi ed 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. Check stability of wall-mounted unit
support. If support is not capable of carrying weight
of the unit, unit may fall causing personal injury or
equipment 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 indoor unit.
The unit should be installed at least 8 feet above the
fl oor (if possible) to ensure maximum performance
and comfort.
