Choose a place solid enough to bear the weight and vibration of
the unit, where the operation noise will not be amplified.
Choose a location where the hot air discharged from the unit or
the operation noise will not cause a nuisance to the neighbors
of the user.
Avoid places near a bedroom and the like, so that the operation
noise will not cause a disturbance.
There must be sufficient spaces for carrying the unit into and out
of the site.
There must be sufficient space for air passage and no
obstructions around the air inlet and the air outlet.
The site must be free from the possibility of flammable gas
leakage in a nearby place.
Install units, power cords and inter-unit wire at least 9.8ft/3m away
from television and radio sets. This is to prevent interference to
images and sounds. (Noises may be heard even if they are more
than 9.8ft/3m away depending on radio wave conditions.)
In coastal areas or other places with salty atmosphere of sulfate
gas, corrosion may shorten the life of the air conditioner.
Since drain flows out of the outdoor unit, do not place under the
unit anything which must be kept away from moisture.
NOTE: The unit cannot be installed hanging from ceiling or stacked.
