INSTALLATION (contd.)
Outdoor Unit
The outdoor unit can be either surface placed or wall-mounted. In either case, the out-
door unit must be fitted so the flexible tube set easily reaches the indoor unit. The flexi-
ble tube set can be routed through a window, door, or wall. For routing through a wall,
please consult a certified contractor to perform interior and exterior hole cutting and dis-
connecting the tube set.
1. Determine an exterior position for outdoor unit. Double check and measure that the
flexible tube set reaches the location of the indoor unit. For outdoor unit, determine
whether the unit will be surface placed on a flat, solid, surface or wall mounted.
NOTE: Height location of outdoor unit must not exceed 6 feet (2 meters) above
indoor unit.
2. For routing tube set through a small window or wall, remove
flexible tube set. See "Disconnecting Tube Set" for detailed
information.
There are two choices for installing the outdoor unit: surface
placement and wall-mounting. See below for surface placing
the outdoor unit. To wall-mount outdoor unit, please continue
with "Wall-Mounting" for mounting instructions.
Surface Placement:
3. Place outdoor unit on a flat, level surface (i.e. terrace or
balcony). Be sure the outdoor unit is at least 12"
(30 cm) from any wall or other obstructions. The
outdoor unit needs a free-flow of air to operate properly.
NOTE: For surface placement, please proceed to the
instructions detailed under "OPERATION."
Wall-Mounting:
3. Locate supplied mounting brackets. Hold brackets against
exterior wall at desired location. DO NOT exceed a height
of 6 feet above indoor unit. Double check and measure
distance of flexible tube set. Be sure mounting location
and height are within the distance of the flexible tube set.
4. Place mounting brackets against wall at desired height.
Measure and mark mounting hole locations as shown.
