If you must install the unit in such conditions, first consult
your dealer.

outlet.

cables to be easily connected to the outdoor unit and
the recommended length of 20 metres to be respected
("L" metres maximum-"L" indicated in the diagram

should also be considered.
• Install the indoor unit on a ceiling that can support its
weight.
• Maintain sufficient clearance around the indoor unit,
as indicated in the diagram on the page opposite.

run into the cooling circuit and seriously damage the
unit.

exposed to direct sunlight or strong winds.
• Do not block any passageways or thoroughfares.
• Choose a location where the noise of the air
conditioner when running and the discharged air do
not disturb any neighbours.

be easily connected to the indoor unit. Recommended
length between indoor and outdoor unit is 20
metres.("L" metres maximum)
• Install the outdoor unit on a flat, stable surface that
can support its weight and does not generate any
unnecessary noise and vibration.

directed towards the open area.
• Maintain sufficient clearance around the outdoor unit,
as indicated in the diagram on the page opposite.

its base is firmly fixed in position; the maximum
height difference between indoor and outdoor unit is
"H" metres("H" indicated in the diagram on the page

hose runs away correctly and safely.
