CLEARANCES
Position the appliance so that
minimum clearances from combustible surfaces and
constructions, walls and other equipment are maintained, as shown in Figure below.
The appliance may me instead installed directly on wood flooring.
Minimum clearances are necessary for operating security, and in order to be able
to carry out maintenance operations and to ensure the correct airflow required for
heat exchange with the finned coil.

There MUST NOT be any obstructions or structural overhangs (roof edges, balconies)
over the top of the unit. The re-circulation of the air discharged from the condenser results
in a poor unit performance.
When the unit is installed in close proximity to buildings, keep the unit away from the roof
edge drip line. In no case should the unit be placed within 6 feet of any external air intakes
of the building. For installations on balconies or roofs, the unit should not be located within
8 feet from chimney flues, outlets and other such vents. It is important that the unit is
located so that hot or contaminated air
IS NOT drawn into the air intakes of the unit (see
the following figure).
