• Select a location permitting easy wiring and pipe access to the power source and
indoor unit.
• Avoid locations where combustible gases may leak, be produced, flow, or accumulate.
• Note that water may drain from the unit during operation.
• Select a level location that can bear the weight and vibration of the unit.
• Avoid locations where the unit can be covered by snow. In areas where heavy
snow fall is anticipated, special precautions such as raising the installation location
or installing a hood on the air intake must be taken to prevent the snow from
blocking the air intake or blowing directly against it. This can reduce the airflow and
a malfunction may result.
• Avoid locations exposed to oil, steam, or sulfuric gas.
• Transport the unit using rope or a cart, etc. Transporting the unit by holding the
service panel handles may result in injury. If the unit is carried from the bottom,
hands or fingers may be pinched.

straps, such as the corners of the unit, etc., to prevent scratches.
• When delivering the unit, be sure to suspend it from specified positions on
the unit.
Additionally, be sure to secure it so that it does not shift from side to side,
and support it at four points.
