CAUTION
1. Install the outdoor unit in a location where the discharge air is not blocked.
2. When an outdoor unit is installed in a location that is always exposed to strong winds like a coast or on the high
stories of a building, secure normal fan operation by using a duct or wind shield.
3. When installing the outdoor unit in a location that is constantly exposed to strong winds such as on the upper floors
or rooftop of a building, apply the wind-proofing measures referred to in the following examples.
1) Install the unit so that its discharge port faces the wall of the building.
Keep a distance 19.7" (500) or more between the unit and the wall surface.
2) Leave a clearance of at least 11.8" (300) between the right side panel and wall or other surface of the building for
installation and servicing purposes.
3) Leave a clearance of at least 7.9" (200) between the rear panel and wall or other surface of the building to
maintain the air conditioner's performance.

4) Consider the wind direction during the operational season of the air conditioner, and install the unit so that the
discharge port is set at a right angle relative to the wind direction.
When installing the unit in an area where snowfalls may be heavy, take steps to prevent the unit from being
adversely affected by the fallen or accumulated snow.
• Either make the foundation higher or install a stand (which is high enough to ensure that the unit will be above
the fallen or accumulated snow) and place the unit on it.
• Attach a snow shield (field supplied).
