single zone extended piping indoor unit.
Dos
• Minimum clearance of the indoor unit from its top to the ceiling is 5
inches.
• Clearance gap between any wall or enclosure and the left or right
side of the unit must be greater than 4 inches. Ensure there is
sufficient maintenance space.
• Unit must be at least 6.5 feet from the floor for adequate clearance.
• Place the unit where drainage can be obtained easily. Condensa-
tion drain must be conveniently routed away from the unit.
• Locate the indoor unit in a location where it can be easily connect-
ed to the outdoor unit within allowable limits.
• Use a metal detector to locate studs in the walls. Anchor unit
following stud location to prevent damage to the wall.
Dont’s
• Do not install the unit near a heat or steam source, or where considerable amounts of oil, iron powder, or flour are used. (These materials
will generate condensate, cause a reduction in heat exchanger efficiency, or the drain to malfunction. If this is a potential problem, install a
ventilation fan large enough to vent out these materials.)

• If the unit is installed near a body of water, the installation parts are at risk of corroding. Appropriate anti-corrosion methods must be taken for
the unit and all installation parts.
Installing in an Area Exposed to Unconditioned Air
In some installation applications, areas (floors, walls) in some rooms will be exposed to unconditioned air (room will be above or next to an
unheated garage or storeroom). To countermeasure:
• Verify that carpet is or will be installed (carpet could increase the temperature by three [3] degrees).
• Add insulation between the floor joists.
• Install radiant heat or another type of heating system to the floor.
Install a ventilation fan
