GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
INSTALLATION
Locating the indoor and outdoor units
properly will help optimise the performance of
your airconditioner. While your Onida /
Dealer's Technician will be happy to guide you
on the best location for your airconditioner,
here are a few helpful hints.
Locating the Indoor Unit
• Locate the IDU for the best cool air
circulation. Preferably, there should be
no obstructions nearby, as shown in the
adjacent figure.
• Do not locate the unit directly opposite a
door which is opened frequently. The
cold air will go out of the room each time
the door is opened, as shown in the
adjacent figure.
• All indoor units will form condensate water.
Please ensure that the condensate can
be drained out of the room to a toilet /
pantry, etc. The installation engineer will
make sure that a "U" bend is provided in
the drain to prevent insects from coming
into the room through the drain tube, as
shown in the adjacent figure.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
INSTALLATION
Locating the Outdoor Unit
The outdoor unit houses the compressor,
condenser fan and electrical components.
The heat removed from the room is expelled
to the atmosphere through the outdoor unit.
Once again, the Onida / dealer's Technician
will ensure optimal installation of the ODU for
you. However, the following information will
be of interest to you.
• The Outdoor Unit can be mounted on a
wall, sunshade or skirting.
• Ideally, the ODU should not be too
far a w a y f r om t he I D U; t h e
recommended distances are
marked in the adjacent figure.
• Ensure that air can pass freely through
the unit. Please allow at least 2 meters
free space on the air outlet side, and 0.3
meters on the air inlet side.
• If more than one ODU is to be installed,
they must be properly separated, so that
the warm air from the outlet of one does
not enter the inlet of the other.
