5.3 Precautions in winter and in
seasonal winds
 In snowy areas or extremely cold locations, adequate pro-
tective measures must be taken to guarantee that the unit
continues functioning correctly.
 Install the outdoor unit so that snow cannot fall directly on
the unit. If snow collects on the air inlet and freezes, errors
can occur. Install a cover in areas with snowfall.
 When installing the outdoor unit in areas where there is a lot
of snowfall, ensure the unit is installed at least as high as the
level of an average snowfall (average annual snowfall).
 If more than 100 mm snow collects on the outdoor unit, the
snow must be removed prior to operation.
NOTE
The intake and outlet opening of the outdoor unit should not be
positioned against the wind if possible.
