OUTDOOR UNIT
• Where rain or direct sunlight can be avoided as much as pos-
sible.
• Where neighbours are not annoyed by operation sound or
hot air.
• Where rigid wall or support is available to prevent the in-
crease of operation sound or vibration.

• Where there is no risk of combustible gas leakage.
• When installing the unit at a high level, be sure to secure the
unit legs.
• Where it is at least 3 m away from the antenna of TV set or
radio. Operation of the air conditioner may interfere with radio
or TV reception in areas where reception is weak. An ampli-

could cause the pipes to burst or injury.
When pumping down the refrigerant, stop the compres-
sor before disconnecting the refrigerant pipes.
If the refrigerant pipes are disconnected while the compres-
sor is running and the stop valve is open, air could be drawn
in and the pressure in the refrigeration cycle could become
abnormally high. This could cause the pipes to burst or in-
jury.
When installing the unit, securely connect the refriger-
ant pipes before starting the compressor.
