PREPARING THE INSTALLATION
Deciding on Where to Install the Air Conditioner
When deciding on the location of the air conditioner with the owner, the following restrictions must be taken into account.
General
Do NOT install the air conditioner in a location where it will come into contact with the following elements:
◆Combustible gases
◆Saline air
◆Machine oil
◆Sulphide gas
◆Special environmental conditions
If you must install the unit in such conditions, first consult your dealer.
Indoor Unit
◆There must be no obstacles near the air inlet and outlet.
◆Install the indoor unit on a surface that can support its weight.
◆Choose a position that enables the piping and cables to be easily connected to the outdoor unit and the recommended length of 5m (16ft. 5in) to be respected (“L” m/ft. maximum).
◆Leave enough clearance beneath the indoor unit to enable the filters to be removed without hindrance.
◆Maintain sufficient clearance around the indoor unit, as indicated in the diagram on the page opposite.
◆Make sure that the water dripping from the drain hose runs away correctly and safely.
Outdoor Unit
◆The outdoor unit must NEVER be placed on its side or upside down, as the compressor lubrication oil will run into the cooling circuit and seriously damage the unit.
◆Choose a location that is dry and sunny, but not exposed to direct sunlight or strong winds.
◆Do not block any passageways or thoroughfares.
◆Choose a location where the noise of the air conditioner when running and the discharged air do not disturb any neighbours.
◆Choose a position that enables the piping and cables to be easily connected to the indoor unit and the recommended length of 5m (16ft. 5in) to be respected (“L” m/ft. maximum).
◆Install the outdoor unit on a flat, stable surface that can support its weight and does not generate any unnecessary noise and vibration.
◆Position the outdoor unit so that the air flow is directed towards the outside, as indicated by the arrows on the top of the unit.
◆Maintain sufficient clearance around the outdoor unit, as indicated in the diagram on the page opposite.
◆If the outdoor unit is installed at a height, ensure that its base is firmly fixed in position; the maximum height is “H”m/ft. (“H”: indicated in the diagram on the page opposite.)
◆Make sure that the water dripping from the drain hose runs away correctly and safely.
