1-5. SELECTING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION
• Where it is not exposed to strong wind.
• Where airflow is good and dustless.
• Where rain or direct sunshine can be avoided as much as possible.
• Where neighbours
are not annoyed by operation sound or hot air.
• Where rigid wall or support
is available
to prevent the increase
of op-
eration sound or vibration.
• Where there is no risk of combustible
gas leakage.
• When installing the unit at a high level, be sure to secure the unit legs.
• Where it is at least 3 m (9.84 ft) away from the antenna
of TV set or
radio. Operation of the air conditioner may interfere with radio or TV re-
ception in areas where reception is weak. An amplifier may be required
for the affected device.
• Install the unit horizontally.
• Please install it in an area not affected
by snowfall
or blowing snow.
In areas with heavy snow, please install a canopy, a pedestal
and/or
some baffle boards.
Note:
It is advisable
to make a piping loop near outdoor unit so as to reduce
vibration
transmitted
from there.
Note:
When operating the air conditioner
in low outside temperature,
be sure
to follow the instructions
described
below.
•
Never install the outdoor unit in a place where its air inlet/outlet
side
may be exposed
directly to wind.
• To prevent exposure
to wind, install the outdoor unit with its air inlet
side facing the wall.
• To prevent exposure
to wind, it is recommended
to install a baffle
board on the air outlet side of the outdoor unit.
Avoid the following places for installation where air conditioner
trouble
is liable to occur.
• Where flammable
gas could leak.
• Where there is much machine oil.
•
Salty places such as the seaside.
• Where sulfide gas is generated
such as a hot spring.
• Where there is high-frequency
or wireless equipment.

guide and make sure there is enough
space behind the rear side of the air inlet.
Note:
