Size And Specifications Of The Room In Which To Install The Air Conditioner; Choosing The Position Of The Unit - Olimpia splendid UNICO air R32 Instrucciones Para El Uso Y El Mantenimiento

2.2 - Size and specifications of the room in which to install the air conditioner
• Before installing the air conditioner, it is essential to make an accurate calculation of the heat load in
summer (and cold load in winter for models with heating pump) at the site of installation.
• The more accurate this calculation is made the better the air conditioner will be able to do its job.
• When executing the calculations, refer directly to the prevailing standards.
• For particularly important applications, we recommend contacting expert heating engineers.
• The user should try to limit high heat loads as much as possible as follows: glass doors and windows
exposed to many hours of sunlight should be fitted on the inside with curtains or, even better, on the
outside with coverings such as Venetian blinds, verandahs, refractive film, etc.). The air-conditioned
room must remain closed as long as possible.
• Halogen spotlights or other electrical equipment with high power consumption should not be used in the
room (toasters, steam irons, hot plates for cooking, etc.).

2.3 - CHOOSING THE POSITION OF THE UNIT

To obtain the best operating performance and prevent faults or hazardous conditions, the position of indoor
unit installation must meet the following requirements:
a. Do not expose the appliance to heat or steam sources (fig. 3).
b. Make sure that the space to the right and left is at least 60 mm and space above the unit is at least 80
mm. (fig. 2).
c. The height of the unit's lower edge from the floor should be at least 100 mm if fixed to the wall in the
lowest position. If fixed to the wall in the highest position, it should be at least 80 mm from the ceiling
(fig. 2).
d. The wall where the indoor unit is to be fixed, must be stable, strong and suitable to support the weight.
e. It must be possible to leave room around the unit for any maintenance operations that may be necessary.
f. Nothing should be in the way of the air that needs to circulate both on the top air-intake (curtains, plants,
furniture) and at the front where the air exits. This could cause air swirls that would inhibit the working
efficiency of the unit (fig. 3).
g. Do not spray water or other liquids of any kind directly on the unit (fig. 3).
h. The appliance must not be positioned so that the air flow is directed directly towards nearby people (fig.
3).
i. Never force the opening of the airflow flap (fig. 3).
l. Do not place bottles, cans, clothes, flowers or any other object on the air suction grille (fig. 3).
m. Do not install the air conditioner directly on another household appliance (TV, radio, fridge, etc.), or on
a heat source (fig. 3).
The air conditioner must be installed on a wall that communicates with the outside
After determining the best place for installation as described above, check for
the absence of other structures or systems (beams, piers, pipes, wires, etc.) at
the points where the holes are to be drilled, which would prevent drilling the
holes required to install the unit.
Check again to make sure there are no obstacles to air circulation through the
holes to be drilled due to plants and their leaves, slats or panelling, blinds, grat-
ings or grids too dense, etc.).
