1.5 Installing the external unit

The external unit must be moved and stored in an upright position,

to ensure suitable distribution of the oil in the refrigerant circuit and

prevent damage to the compressor.

Adhere to the procedure as described, and then start connecting

the piping and electrical wiring.

- Install the external unit in a place where the noise made by the

appliance and the expelled hot air cannot be a source of incon-

venience.

- Choose a place that does not obstruct free passage and where

the condensation water produced can easily be ducted to the

outside.

- Do not install the external unit in narrow areas which limit the air

ﬂ ow, or in places exposed to strong winds.

For wall installation:

- install the unit securely onto a solid wall;

- pinpoint the most suitable position on the wall, allowing enough

room for any maintenance work to be carried out easily;

- fasten the brackets to the wall using rawlplugs suitable for the

type of wall in question (take care not to damage any wiring or

piping in conduits);

- use rawlplugs which can support a weight greater than that of

the external unit: during operation the machine vibrates and

should remain installed for years without the screws becoming

loose.
