Selecting an installation location
•
Securely install the outdoor unit at a location that can withstand the weight of the unit. Otherwise, the outdoor unit
may fall and cause injury.
•
Be sure to install the outdoor unit as prescribed, so that it can withstand earthquakes and typhoons or other
strong winds. Improper installation can cause the unit to topple or fall, or other accidents.
•
Do not install the outdoor unit near the edge of a balcony. Otherwise, children may climb onto the outdoor unit
and fall off of the balcony.
•
Do not install the outdoor unit in the following areas:
•
Area with high salt content, such as at the seaside. It will deteriorate metal parts, causing the parts to fail or the unit to leak water.
•
Area filled with mineral oil or containing a large amount of splashed oil or steam, such as a kitchen. It will
deteriorate plastic parts, causing the parts to fail or the unit to leak water.
•
Area that generates substances that adversely affect the equipment, such as sulfuric gas, chlorine gas, acid, or
alkali. It will cause the copper pipes and brazed joints to corrode, which can cause refrigerant leakage.
•
Area containing equipment that generates electromagnetic interference. It will cause the control system to
malfunction, preventing the unit from operating normally.
•
Area that can cause combustible gas to leak, contains suspended carbon fibers or flammable dust, or volatile
inflammables such as paint thinner or gasoline. If gas leaks and settles around the unit, it can cause a fire.
•
Area that has heat sources, vapors, or the risk of the leakage of flammable gas in the vicinity.
•
Area where small animals may live. It may cause failure, smoke or fire if small animals enter and touch internal electrical parts.
•
Area where animals may urinate on the unit or ammonia may be generated.
•
Please install the outdoor unit without slant.
•
Install the outdoor unit in a well-ventilated location away from rain or direct sunlight.
•
If the outdoor unit must be installed in an area within easy reach of the general public, install as necessary a
protective fence or the like to prevent their access.
•
Install the outdoor unit in a location that would not inconvenience your neighbors, as they could be affected by the airflow coming
out from the outlet, noise, or vibration. If it must be installed in proximity to your neighbors, be sure to obtain their approval.
•
If the outdoor unit is installed in a cold region that is affected by snow accumulation, snow fall, or freezing, take
appropriate measures to protect it from those elements. To ensure a stable operation, install inlet and outlet ducts.
•
Install the outdoor unit in a location that is away from exhaust or the vent ports that discharge vapor, soot, dust, or debris.
•
Install the indoor unit, outdoor unit, power supply cable,
connection cable, and remote control cable at least 1 m
(40in.) away from a television or radio receivers. The
purpose of this is to prevent TV reception interference
or radio noise. (Even if they are installed more than 1 m
(40in.) apart, you could still receive noise under some
signal conditions.)
•
If children under 10 years old may approach the unit, take preventive measures so that they cannot reach the unit.
•
Keep the length of the piping of the indoor and outdoor units within the allowable range.
•
For maintenance purposes, do not bury the piping.
