6. For all electrical work, follow all local and national wiring standards, regulations, and the Installation Manual. You must use an
independent circuit and single outlet to supply power. Do not connect other appliances to the same outlet. Insufficient
electrical capacity or defects in electrical work can cause electrical shock or fire.
7. For all electrical work, use the specified cables. Connect cables tightly, and clamp them securely to prevent external forces
from damaging the terminal. Incorrect electrical connections can overheat and cause fire, and may also cause shock.
8. All wiring must be properly arranged to ensure that the control board cover can close properly. If the control board cover is not
closed properly, it can lead to corrosion and cause the connection points on the terminal to heat up, catch fire, or cause
electrical shock.
9. In certain functional environments, such as kitchens, server rooms, etc., the use of specially designed air-conditioning units is
highly recommended.
install the unit in a location that may be exposed to combustible gas leaks. If combustible gas accumulates around the
unit, it may cause fire.
operate your air conditioner in a wet room such as a bathroom or laundry room. Too much exposure to water can cause
electrical components to short circuit.

appropriate location for the unit.
following guidelines with help ensure a better installation and user
experience:
Good air circulation
Convenient drainage
Noise from the unit will not disturb other people
Firm and solid—the location will not vibrate
Strong enough to support the weight of the unit
A location at least one meter from all other electrical devices
(e.g., TV, radio, computer)
DO NOT install unit in the following locations:
Near any source of heat, steam, or combustible gas
Near flammable items such as curtains or clothing
Near any obstacle that might block air circulation
Near the doorway
In a location subject to direct sunlight
If there is no fixed refrigerant piping:
While choosing a location, be aware that you should leave ample room
for a wall hole (see
Drill wall hole for connective piping step)
for the
signal cable and refrigerant piping that connect the indoor and outdoor
units. The default position for all piping is the right side of the indoor unit
(while facing the unit). However, the unit can accommodate piping to
both the left and right.
