6.1 Preparing the installation site
Choose an installation location with sufficient space for carrying the unit in and out
of the site.
Do NOT install the unit in places often used as work place. In case of construction
works (e.g. grinding works) where a lot of dust is created, the unit MUST be
covered.
WARNING
The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition
sources (example: open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric
heater).
WARNING
Make sure installation, servicing, maintenance and repair comply with instructions
from Daikin and with applicable legislation and are executed ONLY by authorised
persons.
