install unit in the following locations:
Near an obstacle that will block air inlets
and outlets
Near a public street, crowded areas, or
where noise from the unit will disturb others
Near animals or plants that will be harmed
by hot air discharge
Near any source of combustible gas
In a location that is exposed to large
amounts of dust

Step 2: Install drain joint(Heat pump unit only)
Before bolting the outdoor unit in place, you must
install the drain joint at the bottom of the unit.
Note that there are two different types of drain
joints depending on the type of outdoor unit.
If the drain joint comes with a rubber seal
(see
Fig. A
), do the following:
1.
Fit the rubber seal on the end of the drain joint
that will connect to the outdoor unit.
2.
Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base
pan of the unit.
3.
Rotate the drain joint 90° until it clicks in place
facing the front of the unit.
4.
Connect a drain hose extension (not included)
to the drain joint to redirect water from the
unit during heating mode.
If the drain joint doesn’t come with a rubber
seal
(see
Fig. B
), do the following:
1.
Insert the drain joint into the hole in the base
pan of the unit. The drain joint will click in
place.
2.
Connect a drain hose extension (not included)
to the drain joint to redirect water from the
unit during heating mode.

IN COLD CLIMATES
In cold climates, make sure that the drain hose
is as vertical as possible to ensure swift water
drainage. If water drains too slowly, it can
freeze in the hose and flood the unit.
The outdoor unit can be anchored to the
ground or to a wall-mounted bracket with
bolt(M10). Prepare the installation base of the
unit according to the dimensions below.
