Before getting started
Identify the locations where you will mount the
indoor module and place the outdoor module. Keep
in mind there is 25’ of connection line for connecting
indoor and outdoor pieces, so locate them accord-
ingly. You cannot add additional length if they are
too far apart.
Placing the indoor unit
It is recommended that you install the indoor module on
an exterior wall within 6 feet of a properly rated outlet
for the system you are installing. The BR0412W1A plugs
into a 115V 15A outlet. The system should be plugged
into a single circuit outlet only. Typically, hanging the
indoor module above or adjacent to a window will
provide a great location. NOTE: You should not drill
through the window header (part of the rough framing(
located directly above the window opening.
Placing the outdoor unit
The outdoor module should be placed on a level surface
with adequate clearance of items like shrubbery, solid
fencing or other air conditioning equipment that can
impede airow to the module.
The outdoor module must be at least 12” from the wall
for proper airow. The mounting pad provided with the
system will raise the module off of the ground 3”. The
fan should face away from the building.

Tools you will need:
• Phillips screwdriver
• 7/16” wrench or crescent wrench
• Drill with phillips bit and 1/8” drill bit
• Stud nder (recommended)
• 3” hole saw (through wall installations)
• Safety glasses (recommended)

STEP 1
Next, determine how you will connect the indoor and outdoor modules. There are
two options available:
OPTION 1 is to drill a 3” hole through the wall to pass
the connecting line through.
OPTION 2 is to use the Friedrich SimpleSill™ kit to pass
the connecting pipe through the window. The Simple-
Sill™ is an optional accessory available where Breeze
is sold.
DO NOT PLUG IN INDOOR UNIT until you have
completed the entire installation process.
CAUTION
SHOCK HAZARD - DO NOT PLUG-IN indoor unit until all installation work is completed!
Connect to a single dedicated circuit sized for the load.
DO NOT kink or bend refrigeration line-set less than 3” radius – A radius bend template is provided.
Line-set is under high pressure – DO NOT Puncture line-set.
DO NOT Heat line-set.
Always follow all local and national codes when installing equipment. Obtain the help of trained, skilled
worker where necessary.

STEP 2 – Hang wall mount bracket
Using the paper template as a guide locate two studs
behind screw hole locations in the template. It is
preferrable to mount the hangaing plate on studs. If two
studs are not available, utilize anchors appropriate for
the wall type with a combined weight capacity of at least
60 lbs. Standard wood screws and drywall anchors are
provided.
If you are installing the system by drilling a 3” hole
through the wall (Option 1), mark the location of the 3”
hole centerline on the wall as well.
STEP 3 – Drill hole (Option 1) or mount
SimpleSill™ (Option 2).
Always follow all local and national codes when in-
stalling equipment. Obtain the help of trained, skilled
worker where necessary.
Option 1: Drill hole-through the Wall Installation
Drill 3” hole through the exterior wall.
NOTE: This should only be done by qualied install-
ers. Consult local and national codes before drilling any
holes. Mark the hole location on the indoor wall using
the template. (If locating unit above a window or door,
making sure the hole is above structural header)
Using a stud nder, scan area around desired hole loca-
tion for pipes, ducts, electrical conductors and struc-
tural elements. Relocate indoor unit mounting location
as necessary to avoid interference.
Using a 3” hole saw, drill hole through wall from inside
toward outside. When center spiral drill penetrates out-
side wall, stop drilling. DO NOT drill the entire 3” from
the inside to prevent exterior wall damage. (TIP: tape a
bag to the wall directly below hole location to catch drill
debris and dust or use a shop vacuum while drilling)
Complete 3” hole from outside of the home by locating
center spiral drill bit penetration. Using the 3” hole saw
nish drilling through the wall from the outside of the
home.
Now that you have determined where the modules will be placed it is time to install the Breeze air conditioning system.

STEP 4 Line set installation
4.1 Option 1 (3” hole pass through)
Completely uncoil the line set as straight as possible. Starting
with the quick connect end of the line set, pass the entire length
through the 3” hole.
4.2 Option 2 (SimpleSill window installation)
Uncoil enough of the line set to completely pass through the
SimpleSill. Pre bend the line set using the enclosed template
to match the desired shape as it passes through the SimpleSill.
Place remaining coiled line set outside the window for later con-
nection to the Outdoor unit.
STEP 5
Hang the indoor module on the wall bracket.
Hang the module at the top rst and rotate it down until the module
is level with the wall. (You may need to make adjustments to the con-
necting line to get the indoor module to mount cleanly) The Breeze
module is not designed to mount totally ush to the wall. A space of
1/8” to 3/8” may be present between the module and the wall.
STEP 6
Place the mounting pad.
Position the mounting pad so that the mounting holes are away from
the house. Set the outdoor module on the mounting pad so that the
module feet align with the mounting holes. Screw the outdoor mod-
ule to the mounting pad with the 4 lag bolts provided.
A. With the window raised, place one end of the SimpleSill™ into the window opening so it is against the corner of the
window frame and sill. Raise the other side of the SimpleSill™ 4” above the window sill. Expand the SimpleSill™ the
width of the window and install the securing pin as shown. Next, press the raised side down until the SimpleSill™ is
lodged securely into position. The SimpleSill™ end gaskets will conform to the window track shape.
B. Remove the pass through cover securing pins and cover.
C. Reference Step 4.2 and pass the connecting line out the window and insert it into the connecting line form in the
SimpleSill™.
D. Replace the pass through cover and securing pins

STEP 7 – Connect the quick connector from the indoor line set to the outdoor
module.
If you have excess connecting line, roll the line into a coil approximately 2
feet wide, secure with the provided wire ties and store between the outdoor
module and the wall. DO NOT cut or kink the connecting line!
STEP 8 – Connect the electrical connector from the
connecting line to outdoor module
1. Remove the electrical cord retention bracket by unscrewing
the two screws shown. Retain the bracket and screws.
2. Connect the black colored electrical connector from the con-
necting line into the mating connector on the outdoor module.
The connectors will snap into place with a click. (The plug can
be removed by pushing in the side tabs on the plug and pulling
the plug body down and out of the receptacle.)
3. Re-install the electrical cord retention bracket using two
screws removed previously. The opening in the electrical cord
retention bracket should t over the cord. Do not pinch the
cord in the bracket.
4. Install the plastic cover as shown. There are two screws on
the outer ange of the cover and one screw under the electri-
cal connector access cover.
All Covers must be in place to operate unit.
SHOCK HAZARD exists without electrical access cover.

properly.
STEP 9 – Locate the condensate drain.
The connecting line has a built in condensate line hose that removes the
moisture collected from the indoor module. The hose must be located in
an appropriate location for drainage. Because the hose relies on gravity
to drain, it is important that the hose only points downward for the entire
length of the hose.
If the connecting line is rolled to store the excess line as in Step 6, the drain
line may be removed from the connecting line as shown below and cut to an
appropriate length.
1. Open lock handle on line-set connec-
tor by pulling back and rotating toward
indoor unit.
2. Grasp outer lock collar on line-set con-
nector and pull back until it stops.
3. While holding outer lock collar reward,
push line-set connector body over base
connector on outdoor unit half way and
release outer lock collar.
4. Continue to push line-set connector
onto base connector until outer lock
color engages base connector. The outer
lock collar will snap into position with
base connector and a click will be heard.
5. Grasp lock handle and rotate to its
closed position.
6. Install security screw to prevent tam-
pering with line-set connector mecha-
nism.
