Check the environment of installation place of the outdoor unit before using the product.<br/>
In the hot summer, if air is not ventilated in the outdoor unit room, then cooling will might be degraded
and high electricity bills can be issued.
</p>

<h3 class="sub-tit">Organize any objects near the outdoor unit removing any objects piled in front and behind
the unit.</h3>

<h3 class="sub-tit">Open the ventilation window or gallery in the outdoor unit room so that the heat from the
outdoor unit can pass to the outside.</h3>
<p class="info-desc idt">➔ Open the ventilation window blades as close to horizontal as possible, and also open
the window screen at the same time.</p>        <p>If a lot of dust accumulates on the window screen, it is not good for air circulation, so use a cleaning
brush to remove large quantities of dust.</p>

<h3 class="sub-tit">If the location of the outdoor unit is below the location of the ventilation window,
ventilation will not be achieved smoothly.</h3>
<p class="info-desc idt">➔ Install the stand and raise the location of the outdoor unit so that it is in
alignment with the ventilation window.</p>        <p>Stand installation can be provided for a fee at the time of product installation.</p>

<h3 class="sub-tit">The farther the distance between the ventilation window and the outdoor unit, the poorer the
ventilation, and the higher the resultant temperature in the location where the outdoor unit is installed.
</h3>
<p class="info-desc idt">➔ Install an air guide so that the heat from the air conditioner can escape to the
outside.</p>        <p>You can easily purchase an air guide at a nearby hardware store or by searching for [air conditioner air rod
or air conditioner air guide] on Internet search portals.</p>

<p class="info-desc idt">➔ It will be more convenient if you purchase an air guide that can be easily installed
by attaching a magnet to the front of the outdoor unit.</p>
