When Transporting

Be careful when picking up and moving the indoor and out-
door units. Get a partner to help, and bend your knees when
lifting to reduce strain on your back. Sharp edges or thin alu-
minum fins on the air conditioner can cut your fingers.

When Installing…

Select an installation location which is rigid and strong
enough to support or hold the unit, and select a location for
easy maintenance.

…In a Ceiling or Wall

Make sure the ceiling/wall is strong enough to hold the
unit’s weight. It may be necessary to construct a strong
wood or metal frame to provide added support.

…In a Room

Properly insulate any tubing run inside a room to prevent
“sweating” that can cause dripping and water damage to
walls and floors.

Keep the fire alarm and the air
outlet at least 1.5 m away from
the unit.

…In Moist or Uneven Locations

Use a raised concrete pad or concrete blocks to provide a
solid, level foundation for the outdoor unit. This prevents
water damage and abnormal vibration.

…In an Area with High Winds

Securely anchor the outdoor unit down with bolts and a
metal frame. Provide a suitable air baffle. 

…In a Snowy Area (for Heat Pump-type Systems)

Install the outdoor unit on a raised platform that is higher
than drifting snow. Provide snow vents.

When Connecting Refrigerant Tubing

gas leaks during the installation. Be careful not to allow 
contact of the refrigerant gas with a flame as this will
cause the generation of poisonous gas.
