Selecting A Location In Cold Climates - Samsung RC***MHXGA Installation Manual

Selecting a location in cold climates

• When operating the unit in a low outdoor ambient temperature,
be sure to follow the instructions described below.
 To prevent exposure to wind, install the unit with its suction side facing the wall.
 Never install the unit at a site where the suction side may be exposed directly to wind.
 To prevent exposure to wind, install a baffle plate on the air discharge side of the unit.
 In heavy snowfall areas it is very important to select an installation site where the snow will not affect the unit. If lateral
snowfall is possible, make sure that the heat exchanger coil is not affected by the snow (If necessary construct a lateral canopy).
 Considering the direction of strong wind, the outdoor unit shall be installed. Strong wind can make the unit turned over so
need to set side of the unit face the direction of wind, not front.
