DO:

select an appropriate position from which every corner of the room can be uniformly air-conditioned. (High on a wall is best for wall-mounted types.)

select a location that will hold the weight of the unit.

select a location where tubing and drain hose have the shortest run to the outside. (Fig. 1)

allow room for operation and maintenance as well as unrestricted air flow around the unit. (Fig. 2a or 2b)

install the unit within the maximum elevation difference (H1, H2, H3, H4) above or below the outdoor unit and within a total tubing length (L1+L2+L3, L1+L2+L3+L4) from the outdoor unit as detailed in Table 3 and Fig. 3a.
