• Do not cool excessively indoors. This may be harmful for your health and may consume more
electricity.
• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Keep doors or windows closed tightly while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air.
• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.
• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air
conditioner is used for many hours.
• Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block the
air flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions.

ENGLISH
Select the best Location
- There should not be any heat or steam near
the unit.
- Select a place where there are no obstacles
around the unit.
- Make sure that condensation drainage can
be conveniently routed away.
- Do not install near a doorway.
- Ensure that the gap between a wall and the
left (or right) of the unit is more than 4in. The
unit should be installed as high as possible
on the wall, allowing a minimum of 8in from
ceiling.
- Use a metal detector to locate studs to pre-
vent unnecessary damage to the wall.
* Recommended height 6.5ft from the floor.
* The feature can be changed according to the
type of model.
- If an awning is built over the unit to prevent
direct sunlight or rain exposure, make sure
that heat radiation from the condenser is not
restricted.
- Ensure that the space around the back side
and other sides is more than 12in. The space
in front of the unit should be more than 28in.
- Do not place animals and plants in the path
of the warm air.
- Take the weight of the air conditioner into
account and select a place where noise and
vibration are minimum.
- Select a place where the warm air and noise
from the air conditioner do not disturb neigh-
bors.

Drill a Hole in the Wall
- Drill the piping hole with a ø65mm hole core
drill. Drill the piping hole at either the right or
the left with the hole slightly slanted to the
outdoor side.
Flaring Work
Main cause for gas leakage is due to defect of
flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in
the following procedure.
Cut the pipes and the cable
1Use the piping kit accessory or the pipes
purchased locally.
2Measure the distance between the indoor
and the outdoor unit.
3Cut the pipes a little longer than measured
distance.
4Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe
length.

Fixing Installation Plate
The wall you select should be strong and solid
enough to prevent vibration.
1Before installation, confirm the position of a
screw between chassis and Installation
plate.
2Mount the installation plate on the wall with
type "A" screws. If mounting the unit on a
concrete wall, use anchor bolts.
- Mount the installation plate horizontally by
aligning the centerline using Horizontal
meter .
3Measure the wall and mark the centerline.
It is also important to use caution concern-
ing the location of the installation plate.
Routing of the wiring to power outlets is
through the walls typically. Drilling the hole
through the wall for piping connections
must be done safely.

wires of the outdoor unit and the terminal No.
are the same as those of the indoor unit.)
CAUTION
- The circuit diagram is a subject to
change without notice.
- The earth wire should be longer than the
common wires.
- When installing, refer to the circuit dia-
gram on the chassis cover.

1Never fail to have an individual power
circuit specifically for the air condi-
tioner. As for the method of wiring, be
guided by the circuit diagram posted
on the inside of control cover.
2The screw which fasten the wiring in
the casing of electrical fittings are liable
to come loose from vibrations to which
the unit is subjected during the course
of transportation. Check them and
make sure that they are all tightly fas-
tened. (If they are loose, it could cause
burn-out of the wires.)
3Specification of power source.
4Confirm that electrical capacity is suffi-
cient.
5See that the starting voltage is main-
tained at more than 90 percent of the
rated voltage marked on the name
plate.
6Confirm that the cable thickness is as
specified in the power source specifi-
cation.
(Particularly note the relation between
cable length and thickness.
7Always install an earth leakage circuit
breaker in a wet or moist area.
8The following would be caused by volt-
age drop.
- Vibration of a magnetic switch, which
will damage the contact point, fuse
breaking, disturbance of the normal
function of the overload.
9The means for disconnection from a
power supply shall be incorporated in
the fixed wiring and have an air gap
contact separation of at least 3mm in
each active(phase) conductors.

Leak testing
The air and moisture remaining in the refriger-
ant system have undesirable effects as indi-
cated below.
- Pressure in the system rises.
- Operating current rises.
- Cooling(or heating) efficiency drops.
- Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze
and block capillary tubing.
- Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the
refrigeration system.
Therefore, after evacuating the system, take a
leak test for the piping and tubing between the
indoor and outdoor unit.
