to support the weight of the unit.
select a location where tubing and drain pipe have
the shortest run to the outdoor unit.
allow room for operation and maintenance as well as
unrestricted air flow around the unit.
install the unit within the maximum elevation
difference above or below the outdoor unit and within
a total tubing length (L) from the outdoor unit as
detailed in the installation instructions packed with
the outdoor unit.
allow room for mounting the remote controller about
3 ft. off the floor, in an area that is not in direct
sunlight nor in the flow of cool air from the indoor
unit.
If the indoor unit is installed on the ceiling where the
temperature or humidity inside is high (over 86°F(30°C)
/RH: 70%), add insulating material to the surface of the
