INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

• Confirm that the ceiling or wall can support the unit's weight.
• Confirm there is enough room within the false ceiling for
installation and maintenance.
a. The false ceiling should be horizontal and leveled.
• Install the unit in a location within the room that allows uniform
airflow in all directions.
• Do not install the indoor units near a direct source of heat such as
direct sunlight or a heating appliance.
• Allow sufficient space for airflow and unit servicing. See Fig. 7 —
on page 7 for the minimum required distances between the unit and
the walls or ceilings.
• All wiring and refrigerant lines must be at least 3 ft. (1m) away
from all electromagnetic interference (televisions, radios, etc.)
sources. Interference is still possible even if this distance is
maintained.
• Ensure the hanger is strong enough to withstand the unit's weight.
• If the indoor unit is installed in an unconditioned space,
running for long periods of time when the temperatures are
outside the recommended indoor unit operation ranges, you
are advised to seal all the corners of the indoor unit to prevent
any leakage and add insulation material (1/2 to 3/4 in (10-20
mm)) to the entire surface of the indoor unit to avoid
condensation or heat transfer.

instructions. Improper installation can cause water leakage,
electrical shock, or fire. (In North America, installation must be
performed in accordance with the requirements of NEC or CEC
by authorized personnel only.)
• Contact an authorized service technician for repair or
maintenance of this unit. This appliance must be installed in
accordance with local codes.
• Only use the included accessories, parts, and specified parts for
installation. Using non-standard parts can cause water leakage,
electrical shock, fire, or unit failure.

manual. Improper drainage may cause water damage to your
home and property.
• For units that have an auxiliary electric heater, DO NOT install
the unit within 3 feet (1 meter) of any combustible materials.

personal injury, unit and property damage, or death.
DO NOT install the indoor unit in a bathroom or laundry room as
excessive moisture can short the unit and corrode the wiring.
Install the indoor and outdoor units, cables and wires at least 3.2 ft
(1m) from televisions or radios to prevent static or image
distortion.
Depending on the appliances, a 3.2 ft (1m) distance may not be
sufficient. If the indoor unit is installed on metal, it must be
