the outdoor unit, and that will not magnify operating
noise or vibration.
(Fasten in place with the anchor bolts (M10).)
provide a base using concrete or similar material,
and ensure proper drainage.
select a location where there is no danger of
flammable gas leakage.
in snowy or rainy regions, be sure to construct a
roof to keep off the snow and rain, and inhibit
freezing and condensation.
select a location that is at least 3 meters away from
any antennas used for television, radio transceiver,
or other equipment.
for purposes of future service and repair, select a
location where the inspection panel can be removed.

obstructed.
