Fix the outdoor unit firmly so that the electric part of the outdoor unit is not exposed.
• Failing to do so may result in electric shock or fire.
Do not install this appliance near a heater, inflammable material. Do not install this appliance in a humid, oily or dusty location,
in a location exposed to direct sunlight and water (rain drops). Do not install this appliance in a location where gas may leak.
• This may result in electric shock or fire.
Never install the outdoor unit in a location such as on a high external wall where it could fall.

FOR INSTALLATION
CAUTION
This appliance should be positioned in such a way that it is accessible to the power plug.
• Failing to do so may result in electric shock or fire due to electric leakage.
Install your appliance on a level and hard floor that can support its weight.

a block of ice falls, it may result in injury, death or property damage.
• The air conditioner should be used only for the applications for which it has been designed : the indoor unit is not suitable to be installed in
areas used for laundry.
• Our units must be installed in compliance with the spaces indicated in the installation manual to ensure either accessibility from both
sides or ability to perform routine maintenance and repairs. The units’components must be accessible and that can be disassembled in
conditions of complete safety either for people or things. For this reason, where it is not observed as indicated into the Installation Manual,
the cost necessary to reach and repair the unit (in safety, as required by current regulations in force) with slings, trucks, scaffolding or any
other means of elevation won’t be considered in-warranty and charged to end user.
