direct sunlight or rain exposure, make sure that
heat radiation from the condenser is not

space.
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 noise
from the air conditioner do not disturb neigh-
bors.
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.
If the outdoor unit is installed on roof structures or walls, this may result in excessive noise and vibra-
tion, and may be also classed as non serviceable installation.

3. Make sure that condensation drainage can be
conveniently routed away.

of the unit is more than 30cm(11.8in). The unit
should be installed as high on the wall as possi-
ble, allowing a minimum of 12cm(4.7in) from
ceiling.

unnecessary damage to the wall.
