Select the best Location

Indoor unit

1. Do not have any heat or steam near the unit.
2. Select a place where there are no obstacles
in front of the unit.
3. Make sure that condensation drainage can be
conveniently routed away.
4. Do not install near a doorway.
5. Ensure that the interval between a wall and
the left (or right) of the unit is more than
19.6"(50cm). The unit should be installed as
high as possible on the wall, allowing a
minimum of 3.9"(10cm) from ceiling.
6. Use a stud finder to locate studs to prevent
unnecessary damage to the wall.
CAUTION: Install the indoor unit on the wall where the height from the
floor is more than 6.6 feets(2 meters).

Outdoor unit

1. If an awning is built over the unit to prevent
direct sunlight or rain exposure, make sure
that heat radiation from the condenser is not
restricted.
2. Ensure that the space around the back and
sides is more than 12"(30cm). The front of the
unit should have more than 28"(70cm) of
space.
3. Do not place animals and plants in the path
of the warm air.
4. Take the weight of the air conditioner into
account and select a place where noise and
vibration are minimum.
5. Select a place where the warm air and noise
from the air conditioner do not disturb
neighbors.

Rooftop Installations

If the outdoor unit is installed on a roof structure, be sure to level the unit. Ensure the roof structure
and anchoring method are adequate for the unit location. Consult local codes regarding rooftop
mounting.
If the outdoor unit is installed on roof structures or walls, this may result in excessive noise and
vibration, and may be also classed as non serviceable installation.
