CAUTION
When moving the unit during or after unpacking, make sure to lift it by holding its lifting lugs. Do not
exert any pressure on other parts, especially the refrigerant piping, drain piping and flange parts.
If you think the humidity inside the ceiling might exceed 30°C and RH 80%, reinforce the insulation on
the unit body. Use glass wool or polyethylene foam as insulation so that it is no thicker than 10 mm and
fits inside the ceiling opening.
