Install the unit following local codes and regulations. These may differ slightly between regions.
STEP 1: SELECT INSTALLATION LOCATION

standards that will help you choose an appropriate location for the unit.

• Good air circulation and ventilation.
• Firm and solid location —the location can support the unit's weight and will not vibrate.
• Noise from the unit will not disturb others.
• Protected from prolonged periods of direct sunlight or rain.
• Where snowfall is anticipated, raise the unit above the base pad to prevent ice buildup and coil
damage. Mount the unit high enough to be above the average accumulated area snowfall. The

• Near an obstacle that will block air inlets and outlets.
• Near a public street, crowded areas, or where noise from the unit will disturb others.
