accordance with local electrical safety regulations;
2. The unit should be reliably grounded and con-
nected to an exclusive ground device by the
professionals;
3. The circuit breaker must have the functions of
magnetic dripping and heat dripping to prevent
short circuit and overload;
4. The minimum distance between the unit and
combustive surface is 4,9 ft.(1.4935 m);

be connected in fixed wiring.
Grounding
1. Please ensure that the unit is reliably grounded;
2. The yellow-green wire in the outdoor unit is the
grounding wire which cannot be used for the other
purposes. Improper grounding may cause electric
shock;
3. The ground must have reliable terminal. Please do
not connect wire with the following: water pipe, gas
pipe, sewer pipe, or other place that professional
