Selecting an installation location
Please read through the following directions completely before installing. When installing, follow these step by step.
Indoor Unit
• Do not expose the indoor unit to heat or steam.
• Select a place where there are no obstacles in front
or around the unit and the air circulation in the room
is good.
• Make sure that condensation drainage can be
conveniently routed away.
• Select a location where noise prevention is taken into
consideration.
• Do not install near a doorway.
• Ensure that the space on the left and right of the unit
is more than 4.75 in. (12 cm).
• Use a stud finder to locate studs to prevent
unnecessary damage to
the wall.
• The indoor unit should be installed on the wall at a
height of 7.55 ft
(2.3 m) or more from the floor.
• The indoor unit should be installed allowing a
minimum clearance of
6 in. (15 cm) from the ceiling.
• There should not be any direct sunlight. Sunlight will
fade the plastic cabinet and affect its appearance.
Outdoor Unit
• If an awning is built over the outdoor unit to prevent
direct sunlight or rain exposure, make sure that heat
radiation from the condenser is not restricted.
• Do not place animals and plants in the path of the air
inlet or outlet.
• Refer to Fig. 1, which notes the amount of space there must be between the unit and any walls, ceiling, fences, and
other obstacles/items.
• Install the outdoor unit on concrete or plastic pad or mount to a wall with the proper brackets (see section below) and
secure per local and national codes. Make sure the unit is level.
• Install the outdoor unit in a location where the noise and vibration level will not be an issue.
• Select a location where the warm air and noise from the outdoor unit does not disturb neighbors.
• Do not place any items near the unit that will cause a short circuit of the discharged air.
Outdoor Unit - Rooftop Installation
• If the outdoor unit is installed on a roof, be sure to level the unit.
• Ensure the roof structure and anchoring method are adequate for the unit location.
• Consult local codes regarding rooftop mounting.
• If the outdoor unit is installed on a roof structure or external walls, this may result in excessive noise and vibration, and
may also be classified as a non-serviceable installation.
