Siting of the indoor unit

The most important factor when selecting the position for the indoor unit is to optimise the heat dispersion. It is important to keep the air outlet clear of any obstacle which might prevent air flowing smoothly in the entire room.

General siting advice

• Avoid placing the unit on a wall next to a bedroom

• Avoid placing the unit in any room where the airflow or vibration could be a nuisance

• Consider the best way of connecting the refrigerant pipes between the indoor and outdoor units. Going straight through the wall is the best option as it avoids running pipework inside the property

• Make sure there is sufficient space around the unit and that the air filters can be easily removed for cleaning and replacement

• Locate the unit and the remote control at least 1 metre from a TV set, radio or similar electrical appliance to avoid possible interference with the operation of the control unit

• Avoid locating the remote control in a room which has electronic simultaneous-start or rapid-start fluorescent lighting which may affect its operation

• Wiring of the units must be in line with the latest edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations, also known as BS 7671:2008

Installation clearances

Provide as much installation space as possible for efficient operation of the units.
