3. Make sure that the power supply matches the requirements of the air conditioner. An
unstable power supply or incorrect wiring may result in a fault. Install suitable power cables
before switching on the air conditioner.
4. Correctly connect the live, neutral and earth wires to the power outlet.
5. Disconnect the power supply before carrying out any work on the electrical circuit or
carrying out any safety work. For models with a plug, make sure the plug is easily
accessible after installation.
6. Do not connect the power before installation is complete.
7. Do not use the appliance if the power cable or plug are damaged. If the power cable is
damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, retailer or other qualified person to avoid
a hazard.
8. Since the temperature of the cooling circuit is high, keep the interconnecting cable away
from the copper pipe.
9. The unit must be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations.
10. Installation must only be performed by trained individuals in accordance with regulations.
Earthing
1. The air conditioner is a Class I appliance. The unit must be earthed with an appropriate
device by a qualified technician. Ensure the unit is always properly earthed. Otherwise
electric shock may result.
1. The green-yellow wire of the air conditioner is the earthing wire and may not be used for
other purposes.
2. The earth resistance must meet national standards for electrical safety.
3. The unit must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
4. An all-pole isolating switch with a minimum contact gap of 3mm in each pole must be
connected to the fixed cable.

INSTALLATION
Indoor unit installation
Decide where to install the unit based on room design, architectural limitations and customer
requirements. Check that in the selected location the unit can be accessed for servicing and
cleaning the filters. To install, use the installation plate as a template to identify the exact position
for the wall plugs and through-hole in the wall. The plastic casing has stoppers which if necessary
can be removed to route the refrigerant lines and cables. When operating in cool or dry mode, the
moisture in the air condenses on the coil of the indoor unit, collects in the basin and drains out
through the special rubber hose. The hose must be connected to a pipe with a suitable gradient,
ensuring no unnecessary bends are created. Do not run siphons and do not immerse in water.
Step two: mount the wall-installation plate
1. Position the installation plate on the wall. Use a level to position it horizontally and mark the
holes for the bolts on the wall.
2. Drill the holes for the screws in the wall with a hammer drill (the drill bit must match the plastic
wall plug). Then insert the wall plugs into the holes.
3. Secure the plate to the wall with the self-tapping screws (ST4.2X25TA). Check it is securely
attached by pulling on the bracket. If a plastic wall plug is loose, drill another hole nearby with the
hammer drill.
Step three: drill the hole for the piping
Select the position for the piping hole according to the direction of the outlet pipe. The piping hole
must be slightly lower than the wall-installation frame, as shown below.
Wall Wall
Space to the wall above 150mm Space to the wall above 150mm

Left Φ55mm Left Φ55mm
(Rear piping hole) (Rear piping hole)
Right Φ55mm Right Φ55mm
Left Φ70mm Left Φ70mm
Right Φ70mm Right Φ70mm
Drill a piping hole of diameter 55 or 70 at the chosen location for the outlet pipe. To allow for
proper drainage, the piping hole in the wall must slant slightly downwards to the outdoor side, with
a gradient of 5 – 10°.
