Allow 30cm (8″) around the appliance on all sides, to achieve optimum efficiency and lowest operating noise. The external unit
is suitable for permanent installation outdoors.
Pass the extemal unit through the open door or window, and then close the door or window to the minimum gap that will allow the flexible hose through.
If the appliance is to be used frequently in the same location, then the bracket can be attached to the exterior wall, and the external appliance can be hung on the bracket. See installation diagram below.
