Setup, Compatibility & Care

This unit is supplied in a knock-down format and will require a full assembly process upon delivery. Before purchasing, verify that your HVAC unit fits within the internal dimensions of 1260mm wide by 610mm deep and 1650mm high, allowing for adequate clearance around the sides and top. Secure the unit to your wall using the included adjustable brackets to ensure it remains stable during high winds. For long-term care, wipe the galvanized steel surfaces with a damp cloth periodically to remove dust and debris. If the planter portion is used, ensure it has proper drainage to prevent water from pooling against the metal structure.
