Important Safety Instructions
FOR THE INSTALLER
Read this guide before installation. The appliance must be installed by
a professional installer according to the instructions in this manual and
in accordance with all applicable regulations.
Electrical connections
• All wiring work must be done by a qualified electrician. The voltage must be
within the range of 90–110% of its rated voltage. The switch or power plug
must be kept clean.
• Before accessing the terminals, all the power circuits must be disconnected
from the power supply.
• The air conditioner must be grounded. Incomplete grounding may result
in electric shocks. Do not connect the earth wire to the gas pipeline, water
pipeline, lightning rod or telephone earth wire.
• If the air conditioner is not fitted with a supply cord and a plug, an all-pole
switch must be installed in the fixed wiring and the distance between
contacts should be no less than 3mm.
• If the air conditioner is permanently connected to the fixed wiring and has
a leakage current that may exceed 10 mA, a leakage protector must be
installed in the fixed wiring.
• An earth leakage breaker with a rated capacity of more than 1.5 times the
maximum current must be installed to avoid possible electric shocks.
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacture or its service agent or a similar qualified person in order to
avoid a hazard.
• For the method of connection of the appliance to the electrical supply and
interconnection of separate components, please see the electric connection
elements chart attached to the outdoor unit.
• Make sure that after installation the power plug can easily be reached.
PROTECT YOUR WARRANTY
These installation instructions are for use by an appropriately
qualified installer. Do not try to install the air conditioner on your
own; doing so will expose you to danger and void the warranty.
Contact a licensed installer.

Installation
• The air conditioner’s outdoor unit must be installed on suitably strong
supports.
• During installation of the indoor and outdoor units, do not allow children
access to the working area.
• Make sure that the base of the outdoor unit is firmly fixed, otherwise it will
produce abnormal noise and vibration during use.
• Do NOT install the outdoor unit:
XIn an area where the running noise could disturb neighbours
XIn environments where the air could contain gas, oil or sulphur
XNear sources of heat, including in areas where it is directly exposed to
sunshine
XAt a distance of less than 1m from flammable substances (e.g. alcohol or
other flammable liquids or gases) and pressurised containers (e.g. spray
cans).
• If the appliance is used in areas without the possibility of ventilation,
precautions must be taken to prevent any leaks of refrigerant gas from
remaining in the environment and creating a fire danger.
• Check that air cannot enter the refrigerant system and check for refrigerant
leaks when moving the air conditioner.
• Carry out a test cycle after installing the air conditioner and record the
operating data. Make sure that air cannot enter the refrigerant system and
check for refrigerant leaks when moving the air conditioner.
Important Safety Instructions (Cont.)
Important Notice: Refrigerant Gas R-410A
This air conditioner uses the refrigerant R-410A in a closed cooling circuit.
While this coolant has zero ozone depletion potential, it is a so-called
greenhouse gas under the Kyoto Protocol and may thus contribute to
global warming, if it is released into the atmosphere. Therefore only trained
technicians with an appropriate refrigerant certificate may service the
appliance for filling or emptying.

Selecting the Installation Place
Indoor Unit
The AKAI Wi-Fi Reverse Cycle Split System Air Conditioner systems are
suitable for cooling or heating rooms/areas of the following size:
AK-9000WIFI: up to 20m2
AK-12000WIFI: 13–27m2
AK-18000WIFI: 20–40m2
Before starting installation, decide on the position of the indoor and outdoor
units, taking into account the minimum space required around the units.
Install the indoor unit:
3Level, on a strong wall that is not subject to vibrations
3Near an electrical socket or private circuit
3So that the inlet and outlet ports are not be obstructed, the air should be
able to blow all over the room
3Where the minimum clearances can be maintained (as illustrated) and at
least 2m above floor height
3Where connection between the indoor and outdoor units is as easy as
possible
3Where the filter is easily accessible
3Where it is easy to drain any condensation water.
Do NOT install the indoor unit:
2Near a source of heat, steam or flammable gas
2Near a doorway
2Where it will be exposed to direct sunlight

Selecting the Installation Place (Cont.)
Outdoor Unit
If you put up a canopy to protect the outdoor unit from rain and sun rays,
make sure you do not create any obstacles for proper heat dispersion from
the condenser.
Install the outdoor unit:
3In a safe place and solid place
3Level, on a strong and secure installation
base and supporting frame
3In the room to be air conditioned — avoid
installation in corridors or communal
areas
3Where the air discharge and operating
sound level will not disturb neighbours
3Where the minimum clearances can be
maintained (as illustrated) for free air
circulation.
Do NOT install the indoor unit:
2Near sources of heat, steam or
flammable gas
2Where it is exposed to high winds or
excessive dust
2Where people often pass
2Where it will be exposed to direct sunlight — if such position cannot be
avoided, use a protection that will not interfere with the airflow
2Where animals are kept or plants are grown, as exposure to cold and hot
air will affect them
2Where it will be subject to vibration — if such position cannot be avoided,
place rubber gaskets on the feet of the unit.
The distance between the indoor and outdoor units should be 5 metres,
and the pipe length can go up to a maximum of 15 metres with additional
refrigerant charge.

Installing the Indoor Unit
• First ensure the wall is strong and solid
enough to hold the unit safety.
• Attach the installation board to the wall using
4 (+) type screws. Use a spirit level to ensure
it is in a perfectly level position vertically and
horizontally, otherwise it might cause water
drops when the unit is cooling.
• Pull out the indoor unit pipes after detaching the fixed parts on them. Connect
the interconnected pipes to the indoor unit: point to the centre of the pipe and
fasten the connection screw, at first by hand and then by wrench, until you hear
a click sound. Fastening direction is shown in the picture below.
• Drill a 70mm
diameter pipe hole
(slanting slightly
outward) at the left
or right down side
of the installation
board.
• Before installation,
confirm the direction
of the connection
pipes. Remove Board 1 and Board 2 on
the correct connecting side. Press the
connection pipes to the board gap, then
install Board 2 to the original location.
If the connection pipes are on the other
side, install them as pictured.
• The drainage pipe can be connected
to Connector 1 and Connector 2. If it
is necessary to adjust the drainage
pipe to the other connector, remove
the rubber stopper from this side
and fix the drainage pipe to it, then
fix the rubber stopper to the other
connector to block it up.
• Note: To block up the connector, use
a tool like a screwdriver to plug the
rubber stopper into the connector, as
pictured.

Note: The installed air
conditioner will not be
tightly affixed to the wall
unless it is installed as
pictured. The outflow
tube must be at the bot-
tom and its highest point
not higher than the water
basin.
Checking the Water Discharge
• For maintenance, take off the front frame according to the following steps:
• Turn the perpendicular airflow
direction handle from [ I ] to
horizontal direction.
• As shown in the picture on the
right, take off the two covers from
the front frame and then unfasten
the two fixture screws.
• Pull the front frame towards
yourself and take it off.
• To put the front frame back, turn
the perpendicular airflow direction
handle from [ I ] to horizontal, then
proceed according to the fourth
and third steps above.
• You should check whether the
front frame is firmly inside the
fixture groove on the top.
• To check the water discharge, put a cup of water into the groove and check
whether the water flows through the water discharge hole.

Installing the Outdoor Unit
• The outdoor unit must be firmly fixed so it does not fall over in strong wind.
• Install the unit on a cement base, as illustrated below.
• If the unit is to be installed in areas with strong wind, such as in coastal
areas or at places high above sea level, the outdoor unit should be installed
against a wall to ensure normal fan operation, and the blocking plate should
be used.
• Make sure the mounting surface is made of solid materials and is strong
enough to support the unit in operation. Otherwise, measures such as
reinforcement, support or vibration damping should be adopted.
