B INSTALLATION

The indoor and outdoor unit are portable and can easily be moved from one room to another. They are connected to each other by a 2.5 metre flexible tube. The outdoor unit can be placed on the floor (of a balcony) or hung on a wall. When handling the units, take the following into account:

1 Ensure that the units are positioned upright and on a level surface.
2 Do not operate the unit inside the bathroom, shower, or in any other humid environment.
3 Please keep a distance of at least 50 cm between the indoor unit and the wall or other objects to ensure proper air circulation.
4 Please keep a distance of at least 5 cm between the outdoor unit air inlet and wall or other objects and a distance of at least 120 cm between the outdoor unit exhaust air outlet and wall or other objects to ensure proper air circulation.
5 The maximum distance from the top of the outdoor unit to the floor is 1.5 m.
6 To avoid damaging the connection tube, leave the window ajar. The frame lead through 19 can be used to prevent this.
7 Close the window or door as much as possible to prevent outside air from entering the room.

WARNING

Ensure a good air flow through the units. The exhaust air must flow freely. Any blockage can lead to damage or improper operation of the air conditioner.

Take care to prevent any bow or bend in the connection tube.
