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 the unit is unobstructed, allow proper space on all sides according to the arrows and distance measurements in the figures.

3.Do not place animals and plants in the path of the warm air.

4.Take the air conditioner weight into account and select a place where noise and vibration are minimum.

5.Select a place so that the warm air and sound from the air conditioner does 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.

Installation of Indoor, Outdoor Unit

Seaside Applications and Installation

1.Air conditioners should not be installed in areas where corrosive gases, such as acid or alkaline gas, are produced.

2.Do not install the product where it could be exposed to sea wind (salty wind) directly. It can result corrosion on the product. Corrosion, particularly on the condenser and evaporator fins, could cause product malfunction or inefficient performance.

3.If outdoor unit is installed close to the seaside, it should avoid direct exposure to the sea wind.

1.Selecting the location(Outdoor Unit)

1)If the outdoor unit is to be installed close to the seaside, direct exposure to the sea wind should be avoided. Install the outdoor unit on the opposite side of the sea wind direction.

Sea wind

Sea wind

2) In case, to install the outdoor unit on the seaside, set up a windbreaker/barrier, to lessen the unit's exposure to sea air

Windbreaker/Barrier

Sea wind

3) Select a well-drained place.

It should be strong enough (like concrete) to obstruct the wind from the sea.

The height and width should be more than 150% of the outdoor unit.

A minimum of 70cm (27 1/16 inches)

of space between outdoor unit and the windbreak for easy air flow.

Periodic ( more than once/year ) cleaning of the dust or salt particles stuck on the heat exchanger using water is recommended.

Installation of Indoor, Outdoor Unit

Seasonal Wind And Cautions In Winter

-Sufficient measures are required in a snow area or severe cold area in winter so that product can be operated well.

-Get ready for seasonal wind or snow in winter even in other areas.

-Install a suction and discharge duct not to let in snow or rain.

-Install the outdoor unit not to come in contact with snow directly. If snow piles up and freezes on the air suction hole, the system may malfunction. If it is installed at snowy area, attach the hood to the system.

-Install the outdoor unit at the higher installation console by 50cm than the average snowfall (annual average snowfall) if it is installed at the area with much snowfall.

-Where snow accumulated on the upper part of the Outdoor Unit by more than 10cm, always remove snow for operation.

1.The height of H frame must be more than 2 times the snowfall and its width shall not exceed the width of the product. (If width of the frame is wider than that of the product, snow may accumulate)

2.Don't install the suction hole and discharge hole of the Outdoor Unit facing the seasonal wind.

If the split type Indoor unit is installed in a wall having hole or opening near by or back side of the unit, then the air from other side of the wall can come inside the condition space through that hole / opening. That air can cause unwanted dew / water droplet formation when it comes in contact with body of the indoor unit. So all hole or opening on the wall must be blocked very well to avoid water dropping from the body of the unit.
