which may result in injury.
CAUTION
Do not install the outdoor unit in a location that is
subject to combustible gas leaks.
Accumulation of combustible gas around the outdoor unit
may cause a fire.
Install the outdoor unit in a location that meets the
following conditions after the customer's consent is
obtained.
• A well-ventilated location free from obstacles near the
air inlets and air outlet
• A location that is not exposed to rain or direct sunlight
• A location that does not increase the operating noise
or vibration of the outdoor unit
• A location that does not produce any drainage
problems from discharged water
Do not install the outdoor unit in the following

(including inverter equipment, private power
generator, medical equipment, and communication
equipment) is used (Installation in such a location may
cause malfunction of the air conditioner, abnormal

discharge air is not blocked.
2. When an outdoor unit is installed in a location that is
always exposed to strong winds like a coast or on
the high stories of a building, secure normal fan
operation by using a duct or wind shield.
3. When installing the outdoor unit in a location that is
constantly exposed to strong winds such as on the
upper stairs or rooftop of a building, apply the
windproofing measures referred to in the following
examples.
1) Install the unit so that its discharge port faces
