INSTALLING THE OUTDOOR UNIT
Bear in mind the following when choosing the place in which the outdoor unit is to be installed:
• Before installing the air conditioner make sure that it has been transported in an upright position. If this is not the case,
position it correctly and wait at least two hours before starting it.
• If possible place the unit away from rain and direct sun light in a sufficiently ventilated area.
• Set it in a vibration and noise free position of adequate load bearing capacity.
• Position it so that the noise and air flow, while operating, do not disturb the neighbours.
• Position it respecting the minimum distances from any walls, furniture or other objects (Fig. 1).
• If it is installed on the ground, avoid areas where water may collect or fall, gutters, etc.
• In locations that are subject to frequent snowfalls or where the temperature remains below 0°C for lengthy periods,
set the unit on a 20-30 cm thick concrete base to prevent snow from lying around the machine.
• During winter periods, the heat pumps produce condensation that drips on the supporting surface forming annoying
and/or unpleasant puddles. To avoid this, use the condensation drain fitting kit as indicated in the relative section.
The minimum distances to be observed are indicated in the
illustration at the side.
A = 25 cm
B = 25 cm
C = 70 cm
D = 25 cm
There must be a distance of at least ¾ of the height of the
machine between a possible cover and the top of the unit.
Note: The air conditioner must not be surrounded by more
than three walls to ensure sufficient ventilation to allow the
appliance to operate correctly.
Remove the packing following the instructions given in the "Packaging and storing" section and, using a fork lift truck,
lift the unit and position in the place desired. While moving the unit, keep it upright without tilting it. High protection
against the transmission of vibrations is achieved by placing appropriate dowels made of impact-resistant material (neo-
prene etc.) between the support feet of the unit and the floor. In any event, consult the specialized catalogues when
choosing the support feet.

CONDENSATION DRAIN KIT FOR OUTDOOR UNIT
In the outdoor units with heat pump, condensation is created when running in
heating mode. In this case it may be necessary to convey the condensation
towards a drain.
To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Fix the fitting (1) supplied, in the appropriate hole (2) on the bottom of the out-
door unit. It is fixed by inserting the shaped part of the fitting in the hole and by
