√
The area must be free of combustible gases
o
and chemicals.
√
The pipe length between the outdoor and
o
indoor unit may not exceed the maximum
allowable pipe length.
If possible, DO NOT install the unit where it
√
o
is exposed to direct sunlight.
√
If possible, make sure the unit is located far
o
away from your neighbors' property so that
the noise from the unit will not disturb them.
If the location is exposed to strong winds (for
√
o
example: near a seaside), the unit must be
placed against the wall to shelter it from the
wind. If necessary, use an awning.
(See Fig. 5.1 & 5.2)
√
Install the indoor and outdoor units, cables
o
and wires at least 1 meter from televisions or
radios to prevent static or image distortion.
Depending on the radio waves, a 1 meter
distance may not be enough to eliminate all
interference.
