Installation of the Outdoor Unit
Method 1
The outdoor unit can be placed directly on a patio or
balcony and when used in this way it does not
require the use of the fixing brackets or straps.
Note
It is necessary to leave a gap of at least 5cm
between the rear of the unit and the outside wall and
also to ensure that no large objects are placed
closer than 120cm from the front of the unit.
Make sure that the drainage pipe is not pinched by
the outdoor unit.
Method 2
The outdoor unit may be mounted on the wall by
means of the enclosed accessories (mounting
brackets, wall plugs and screws).
Note
When using this method you can extend the
drainage tube and direct it to where you wish the
water to discharge. You can lift the outside unit off
the brackets at any time.
If you intend the installation of the outdoor unit to be
permanent, it is recommended that a waterproof
cover is made to prevent water getting into the unit
during heavy rain.
Method 3
For short term installations the support belts and
hooks (supplied) can be used to hang the unit
outside the window.
Note
Always attach the belts to the mounting brackets of
the unit and do not tie them to the carrying handle.
During time of heavy rain and high wind, it is
recommended to keep the unit suitably covered to
prevent water getting into the unit.
Attention
Always switch the air conditioner off before bringing the
outdoor unit indoors. If you do not do this, any water that
may have collected in the internal water container within the
unit may activate the water pump and cause the water to be
expelled via the drain tube fitted to the outdoor unit.
