Hayward HP40BEE Installation And User Manual page 10

Pay attention to the following points:
1． The heat pump must be installed OUTSIDE in a well ventilated area to avoid air
recirculation, or in a place with adequate room for both installation and
maintenance. Please refer to the following illustration:
A minimum of 300mm of clearance from walls, shrubbery, equipment, etc. is required around the
entire pump circumference. This allows for ample air intake. No less than 800mm clearance on
the air outlet is required to prevent recirculation of air. We recommend to not place the unit
underneath eaves, decks, or porches, as this causes recirculation of discharged air, or the
efficiency of the heater will be reduced or even stopped.
