from the air conditioner do not disturb neigh-
bors.
Rooftop Installations
If the outdoor unit is installed on a roof structure, be sure to level the unit. Ensure the roof structure and
anchoring method are adequate for the unit location. Consult local codes regarding rooftop mounting.
If the outdoor unit is installed on roof structures or walls, this may result in excessive noise and vibra-
tion, and may be also classed as non serviceable installation.
