The substrate at the installation site must be horizontal, level,

9.2.1 Sound emissions
The appliance is louder on the air intake and air discharge sides
than on the two enclosed sides. Observe the following information
when selecting the installation location.
Note
For details regarding the sound power level, see chapter
"Specification / Data table".
- Lawn areas and shrubs help reduce the spread of noise.
- Sound propagation can also be reduced by installing closely
spaced palisade fencing around the appliance.
