Precautions for Installation in

• Do not install the appliance in an area where it is
directly exposed to sea air (salt spray).
− Saline conditions are a cause of corrosion.
(Particularly, corrosion of the condenser and
evaporator can damage the appliance or impair
its performance.)

• Set up windbreak in front of the outdoor unit if
installing it in coastal areas.
− Avoid direct exposure to salt winds.
− Install a firm and stiff concrete-wind shield that
can withstand salt winds.
NOTE
• If you have to set up the outdoor unit in a coastal
area, unless the installation conditions are able
to satisfy the above precautions, call an LG
Electronics Customer Service Center to find out
about alternatives.
Precautions for Installation in
Special Regions (Snowfall, Strong
Winds, Area with Severely Cold or
Humid Weather)
• Install the outdoor unit where the airflow fans
are protected from being buried under snow.
Accumulated snow could cause the device to
malfunction by clogging the airflow.
• Install the outdoor unit on a platform at least
500 mm above the ground where a location
has heavier snowfall than the annual average.
(The size of the platform should correspond with
the size of the outdoor unit. If the platform is
wider or longer than the outdoor unit, snow may
accumulate.)
• Put a snow-protective cover on the outdoor unit.
• Place the inlet and outlet for the outdoor unit in
opposite directions to direct airflow and to prevent
snow and rain from flowing into the equipment.
• Install the outdoor unit in a spot that is well lit and
well ventilated in highly humid areas (near sea or
fresh water bodies).
