6.1 Preparing the installation site
Choose an installation location with sufficient space for carrying the unit in and out
of the site.
Do NOT install the unit in places often used as work place. In case of construction
works (e.g. grinding works) where a lot of dust is created, the unit MUST be
covered.
WARNING
The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition
sources (example: open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric
heater).
6.1.1 Installation site requirements of the indoor unit
INFORMATION
Also read the precautions and requirements in the "2 General safety
precautions"[45].
INFORMATION
The sound pressure level is less than 70dBA.
▪Air flow. Make sure nothing blocks the air flow.
▪Drainage. Make sure condensation water can be evacuated properly.
▪Wall insulation. When conditions in the wall exceed 30°C and a relative humidity
of 80%, or when fresh air is inducted into the wall, then additional insulation is
required (minimum 10mm thickness, polyethylene foam).
▪Wall strength. Check whether the wall or the floor is strong enough to support
the weight of the unit. If there is a risk, reinforce the wall or the floor before
installing the unit.

Install power cables at least 1 metre away from televisions or radios to prevent
interference. Depending on the radio waves, a distance of 3metres may NOT be
sufficient.
▪Choose a location where the operation noise or the hot/cold air discharged from
the unit will not disturb anyone.
▪Fluorescent lights. When installing a wireless remote control (user interface) in a
room with fluorescent lights, mind the following to avoid interference:
-Install the wireless remote control (user interface) as close as possible to the
indoor unit.
-Install the indoor unit as far as possible from the fluorescent lights.
It is NOT recommended to install the unit in the following places because it may
shorten the life of the unit:
▪Where the voltage fluctuates a lot
▪In vehicles or vessels
▪Where acidic or alkaline vapour is present
▪In places where a mineral oil mist, spray or vapour may be present in the
atmosphere. Plastic parts may deteriorate and fall off or cause water leakage.
▪In places where the unit would be in the path of direct sunlight.
▪In bathrooms.
▪Sound sensitive areas (e.g. near a bedroom), so that the operation noise will
cause no trouble.
NOTICE
Do NOT place objects below the indoor and/or outdoor unit that may get wet.
Otherwise condensation on the unit or refrigerant pipes, air filter dirt or drain
blockage may cause dripping, and objects under the unit may get dirty or damaged.
