technicians in accordance with the Installation Instructions provided with the unit.
• Before installation, check that the voltage of the electric supply in your home or office is the same
as the voltage shown on the nameplate.
• Do not install this air conditioner where there are fumes or flammable gases, or in an
extremely humid space such as a greenhouse.
• Do not install the air conditioner where excessively high heat-generating objects
are placed.
To protect the air conditioner from heavy corrosion, avoid installing the outdoor unit where
salty sea water can splash directly onto it or in sulphurous air near a spa.

To warm up the system, the power mains must be turned on
at least five (5) hours before operation. Leave the power
mains ON unless you will not be using this appliance for an

disconnecting mean to isolate the air conditioner from the main power supply when not in use
for a long time.
