occur .
• Where flammable gas could leak
• Where there is an excessive amount of machine oil in the air.
• Salty places such as the seaside .
• Where sulfide gas is generated such as a hot spring.
• Where there is high-frequency or wireless equipment.
The outdoor unit produces condensate during the heating operation . Select the in-
stallation place to ensure to prevent the outdoor unit and/or the grounds from being
wet by drain water or damaged by frozen drain water .
2. Selecting the installation location
When the piping is to be attached to a wall containing metals (tin plated) or metal netting, use a chemically treated wooden piece 25/32 in. (20 mm) or thicker between the wall
and the piping or wrap 7 to 8 turns of insulation vinyl tape around the piping .
Units should be installed by licensed contractor accordingly to local code requirement.
