INSTALLATION GUIDE AT THE SEASIDE
CAUTION
!
• Air conditioners should not be installed
in areas where corrosive gases, such as
acid or alkaline gas, are produced.
• Do not install the product where it could
be exposed to sea wind (salty wind) di-
rectly. It can result corrosion on the
product. Corrosion, particularly on the
condenser and evaporator fins, could
cause product malfunction or inefficient
performance.
• If outdoor unit is installed close to the
seaside, it should avoid direct exposure
to the sea wind. Otherwise it needs ad-
ditional anticorrosion treatment on the
heat exchanger.

to prevent the outdoor unit from the sea
wind.
- The height and width should be more
than 150% of the outdoor unit.
- It should be keep more than 70 cm of
space between outdoor unit and the
windbreak for easy air flow.

Place with fluent water draining
- Install at a place with fluent water drain-
ing to prevent damage from localized
heavy rain and avoid frequent flooded
area.
- If you can't meet above guide line in the
seaside installation, please contact LG
Electronics for the additional anticorro-
sion.
- Periodic ( more than once/year ) clean-
ing of the dust or salt particles stuck on
