! CAUTION
• Air conditioners should not be installed
in areas where corrosive gases, such as
acid or alkaline gas, are produced.
• Do not install the product where it could
be exposed to sea wind (salty wind)
directly. It can result corrosion on the
product. Corrosion, particularly on the
condenser and evaporator fins, could
cause product malfunction or inefficient
performance.
• If outdoor unit is installed close to the
seaside, it should avoid direct exposure
to the sea wind. Otherwise it needs
additional anticorrosion treatment on the
heat exchanger.
Selecting the location(Outdoor Unit)
If the outdoor unit is to be installed close to
the seaside, direct exposure to the sea wind
should be avoided. Install the outdoor unit on
the opposite side of the sea wind direction.

- It should be strong enough like concrete to
prevent the sea wind from the sea.
- The height and width should be more than
150% of the outdoor unit.
- It should be keep more than 70 cm of space
between outdoor unit and the windbreak for
easy air flow.
Place with fluent water draining
- Install at a place with fluent water draining to
prevent damage from localized heavy rain
and avoid frequent flooded area.
• If you can't meet above guide line in
the seaside installation, please contact
LG Electronics for the additional
anticorrosion treatment.
• Periodic ( more than once/year )
cleaning of the dust or salt particles
stuck on the heat exchanger by using
water
