estimated snow fall. In addition, install a snow-proof hood to
avoid snow from piling on the outdoor unit.
If ice accumulates on the base, it may cause critical damage

alpine region, etc.)
In a heavy snowfall area, do not install the drain plug and drain
cap into the outdoor unit. And, it may cause frozen ground.
