NOTES
SPECIAL CAUTION WHEN DRILLING AIR HOLES IN THE WALL
• Drill the wall using the proper tools in order to facilitate your job and prevent damage.
• The best tools for drilling large holes in walls are special drills called core borers with very high twisting torque and
adjustable rotating speed depending on the diameter of the hole to be drilled.
• It is possible to connect the core borer to a vacuum system, in order to prevent excessive dust.
• Pay attention that the removed material (expelled outwards) does not hit any person or object when it falls out.
NOTES FOR THE WALL ANCHORING BRACKETS
• If the wall is not very solid, it is advisable to use some extra anchor bolts.
• The majority of the weight of the appliance is to the right side, so ensure that 
xing is more secure on this side.
• The anchor rawlplugs provided require holes with a diameter of 10 mm.
• Anyway, please chose the best possible anchorage according to the type of wall.
CAUTION
- Fold the wings of the supplied plastic sheet (fig.3).
Cut to size the plastic sheets in order to obtain, by rolling
them (Fig.4), two tubes of the right size (it is necessary to
measure the thickness of the wall and subtract 40 mm
in order to leave enough space to the grids).
- Insert in the two holes the obtained plastic tubes, paying
attention to the splicing line (Fig. 5), which must always
face upwards.
Cut the tube to the right length on the other side of the
wall. (Fig. 6)
• The supplied plastic sheet can be used for wall
thickness up to 50 cm.
• The maximum length allowed for pipes is 1 m.
• In case you buy the plastic pipes, they must be
smooth inside.
• Pipes cannot be curved or bent.

- Fix the two external grids as follows:
• Apply the adhesive insulating tape (Fig. 7) on the
tubes’ wings at the wall. (Fig. 5)
•Fit the small eyelet of the spring, with the long
stem, on the cap pin (2 caps + 2 springs for each
grid). Fig. 8
•Insert the two caps (with spring), on the front part
of the external grid, on its two housings, pulling un-
til it clicks. (g. 9)
• Cut the two supplied chains to obtain 4 pieces (2
pieces per grid).
• Couple the two chains to the large eyelet of the
spring.
• Using one hand, grip the two chains connected to
the grid.
• Bend the external grids back, gripping them with
your free hand where they bend, and insert your
ngers inside the single ns. (Fig. 10)
• Insert your arm into the pipe until the grid protrudes
completely outwards.
• Reopen the grid, being careful to keep your ngers
inside the ns.
• Turn the grid until the ns are fully horizontal and
tilted downwards.
• Pull the chain, tensioning the spring, and x the
chain rings into the holes in the wall (g. 5 - 7) us-
ing the supplied screws with washer.
• Use hand shears to cut off any excess chain links.
It is necessary to use the grids provided, or grids which
have the same features.

3-2 PREPARING THE CONDENSATE DISCHARGE
Connect the unit to the condensate discharge supplied
pipe by coupling it with the specific vent (fig. 11 - A) that
is on the back of the unit (remove cap B).
When the water level reaches its maximum level,
condensate will flow out of the chassis hole.
Since condensate drains by gravity, there must be a
minimum slope of at least 3% at every point of the
discharge line. In case you do not use the supplied
pipe, please chose a rigid or flexible pipe having an
inside diameter of at least 16 mm.
Make sure that the water expelled outwards does not
damage or disturb persons or property. During the winter
this type of drainage may cause sheets of ice to form.
When the condensate discharge is fitted, pay much
attention not to compress the pipe.

3-3 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The air conditioner is equipped with a power cable with
plug (the electrical connection of the unit is Y type with
cable prepared in a special way; any replacement must
only be carried out by the authorized Service Center).
Before connecting the air conditioner, be sure that:
• The voltage of the main power supply is the same as
the voltage shown on the nameplate.
• The power supply line has a ground connection and
it is correctly sized for maximum electrical input of
the air conditioner (minimum cable cross-section:
1,5mm2).
• The air conditioner is powered only through a socket
compatible with the plug supplied.
Main switch for disconnection from the supply line must
have a contact separation in all poles that provides
full disconnection under category III overvoltage
conditions.
CAUTION
- Hang up the unit at the anchoring brackets by
simultaneously inserting the condensate discharge pipe
into the wall hole.
Lift it by holding it from the sides of the lower base.
To facilitate the operation of fastening it to the bracket,
tilt it slightly towards you.
To make the electrical connection and fasten the
discharge pipe, place a wedge between the air
conditioner and the wall.
When you have finished, inspect carefully to make sure
there are no fissures at the back of the air conditioner
(the insulating gasket must fit firmly against the wall)
particularly in the zone of the grids. (Fig. 12-13)
- If the socket is in proximity to the appliance, simply plug
it in.
