• Do not install the product where it could
be exposed to sea wind (salty wind) di-
rectly. 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 ad-
ditional anticorrosion treatment on the
