Prior to installation
Before installing the indoor unit, refer to the label

Step 1: Select installation location
Before installing the indoor unit, you must
choose an appropriate location. The following are
standards that will help you choose an appropriate
location for the unit.
Proper installation locations meet the following
standards:
• Good air circulation
• Convenient drainage

• Firm and solid—the location will not vibrate
• Strong enough to support the weight of the unit
• A location at least one meter from all other
electrical devices (e.g., TV, radio, computer)
Do not install unit in the following locations:
• Near any source of heat, steam, or combustible
gas
• Near flammable items such as curtains or
clothing

circulation

Note about wall hole:
If there is no fixed refrigerant
piping:
While choosing a location, be
aware that you should leave ample
room for a wall hole (see Drill wall
C
hole for connective piping step)
for the signal cable and refrigerant
piping that connect the indoor
and outdoor units. The default
position for all piping is the right
side of the indoor unit (while facing
the unit). However, the unit can
accommodate piping to both the
left and right.
Refer to the following diagram to ensure
proper distance from walls and ceiling:
