CAUTION
Install the outdoor unit in a location that meets the
following conditions after the customer's consent is
obtained.
• A well-ventilated location free from obstacles near the
air inlets and air outlet
• A location that is not exposed to rain or direct sunlight
• A location that does not increase the operating noise
or vibration of the outdoor unit
• A location that does not produce any drainage
problems from discharged water
Do not install the outdoor unit in the following
locations.
• A location with a saline atmosphere (coastal area) or
one that is full of sulfide gas (hot-spring area) (Special
maintenance is required.)
• A location subject to oil, vapor, oily smoke, or
corrosive gases
• A location in which organic solvent is used
• Places where iron or other metal dust is present. If iron
or other metal dust adheres to or collects on the
interior of the air conditioner, it may spontaneously
combust and start a fire.
• A location where high-frequency equipment (including
inverter equipment, private power generator, medical
equipment, and communication equipment) is used
(Installation in such a location may cause malfunction
of the air conditioner, abnormal control or problems
due to noise from such equipment.)
• A location in which the discharged air of the outdoor
unit blows against the window of a neighboring house
• A location where the operating noise of the outdoor
unit is transmitted
• When the outdoor unit is installed in an elevated
position, be sure to secure its feet.
• A location in which drain water poses any problems.

1. Install the outdoor unit in a location where the
discharge air is not blocked.
2. When an outdoor unit is installed in a location that is
always exposed to strong winds like a coast or on
the high stories of a building, secure normal fan
operation by using a duct or wind shield.
3. When installing the outdoor unit in a location that is
constantly exposed to strong winds such as on the
upper stairs or rooftop of a building, apply the
windproofing measures referred to in the following
examples.
1) Install the unit so that its discharge port faces
the wall of the building.
Keep a distance 500 mm or more between the
unit and wall surface.
500 mm
2) Consider the wind direction during the
operational season of the air conditioner, and
install the unit so that the discharge port is set
at a right angle relative to the wind direction.

• When using an air conditioner under low outside
temperature conditions (Outside temp:-5 °C or
lower) in COOL mode, prepare a duct or wind
shield so that it is not affected by the wind.
• When installing the unit in an area where
snowfalls may be heavy, take steps to prevent the
unit from being adversely affected by the fallen or
accumulated snow.
• Either make the foundation higher or install a
stand (which is high enough to ensure that the
unit will be above the fallen or accumulated
snow) and place the unit on it.
• Attach a snow shield (locally procured).
