Fixing the installation plate
Drilling the Hole
1. Install the installation plate
horizontally over the structural
parts on the wall using the spaces
indicated on the plate, as shown in
the figure above.
2. In the case of tiled, concrete or
similar walls, create 5 mm-
diameter holes. Place anchorage
supports for the appropriate
assembly screws.
3. If expansion screws are used, the
holes must measure 11x20 or
11x26, with a distance of 450 mm
between each.
4. Fix the installation plate to the wall.
1. Determine the position of the hole
for the pipe using the installation
plate and drill the pipe hole (ø
65mm) so that it is titled slightly
downward.
2. Always use a pipe cover with an
opening when drilling a metal bar.
Installation plate
Fit the Installation Plate and drill holes
in the wall according to the wall
structure and corresponding mounting
points on the installation plate
(Dimensions are in “mm” unless
otherwise stated).

Connective pipe and drainage installation
Drainage
1. Run the drain hose sloping
downward. Do not install the drain
hose as illustrated below.
2. When connecting extension drain
hose, insulate the connecting part
of extension drain hose with a
shield pipe, do not let the drain
hose slack.
Connective pipe installation
1. For the left-hand and right-hand
piping, remove the pipe cover from
the side panel.
2. For the rear-right-hand and rear-left-
hand piping, install the piping as
shown. Bend the connective pipe to
be laid at 43mm height or less from
the wall.
3. Fix the end of the connective pipe.

Piping and wrapping
1. Bundle the tubing, connecting
cable, and drain hose with tape
securely, evenly as shown.
2. Because the condensed water
from rear of the indoor unit is
gathered in ponding box and is
piped out of room. Do not put
anything else in the box.
1. Connect the indoor unit first, then the outdoor unit.
2. Do not allow the piping to let out from the back of the indoor unit.
3. Be careful not to let the drain hose slack.
4. Heat insulated both of the auxiliary piping.
5. Be sure that the drain hose is located at the lowest side of the bundle.
Locating at the upper side can cause drain pan to overflow inside the unit.
6. Never intercross nor intertwist the power wire with any other wiring.
7. Run the drain hose sloped downward to drain out the condensed water
smoothly.
1. Install the outdoor unit on a rigid
base to prevent increasing noise
level and vibration.
2. Determine the air outlet direction
where the discharged air is not
blocked. In the case that the
installation place is exposed to
strong wind such as a seaside,
make sure the fan operating
properly by putting the unit
lengthwise along the wall or using
a dust or shield plates.
3. Specially in windy area, install the
unit to prevent the admission of
wind. If need suspending
installation, the installation bracket
should accord with technique
requirement in the installation
bracket diagram.
4. The installation wall should be solid
brick, concrete or the same
intensity construction, or actions to
reinforce, damping supporting
should be taken. The connection
between bracket and wall, bracket
and the air conditioner should be
firm, stable and reliable.
5. Be sure there is no obstacle which
block radiating air.

3. Piping can easily be made by lifting
the indoor unit with a cushioning
material between the indoor unit
and the wall. Get it out after finish
piping.
4. Push the lower part of the indoor unit
up on the wall, then move the
indoor unit from side to side, up and
down to check if it is hooked
securely.

Settlement of outdoor unit
Anchor the outdoor unit with
a bolt and nut 10 or 8 tightly
and horizontally on a concrete
or rigid mount.
Drain joint installation
Fit the seal into the drain elbow, then
insert the drain joint into the base pan
hole of outdoor unit, rotate 90 to
securely assemble them.
Connecting the drain joint with an
extension drain hose (Locally
purchased), in case of the water
draining off the outdoor unit during the
heating mode.
Flaring work
Main cause for refrigerant leakage is
due to defect in the flaring work.
Carry out correct flaring work using
the following procedure:
1. Cut the pipes and the cable.
A) Use the piping kit accessory or
pipes purchased locally.
B) Measure the distance between the
indoor and the outdoor unit.
C) Cut the pipes a little longer than
the measured distance.
D) Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the
pipe length.
2. Burr removal
A) Completely remove all burrs from
the cut cross section of pipe/tube.
B) Put the end of the copper
tube/pipe in a downward direction as
you remove burrs in order to avoid
dropping burrs into the tubing.
3. Putting nut on
A) Remove flare nuts attached to
indoor and outdoor unit, then put
them on pipe/tube having completed
burr removal.(not possible to put them
on after flaring work)
