Fixing the Installation Plate
1. Install the installation plate
horizontally over the structural
parts on the wall using the spaces
indicated on the plate, as shown
in the figures above.
2. In the case of tiled, concrete or
similar walls, create 0.2"
diameter holes. Place anchorage
supports for the appropriate
assembly screws.
3. Fix the installation plate to the
wall with eight A type screws.
4. At all times securing to the wall
studs is recommended.
Drilling the Hole
,Determine the position of the
hole for the pipes using the
installation plate and drill the
pipe hole so that it is tilted slightly
downward.
2. Always use a pipe cover with an
opening when drilling.

Connective pipe and drainage installation
Connective pipe
1. For the left-hand and right-hand
piping, remove the pipe cover from
the side panel. The pipe cover
must be kept as it may be used
when relocating the air conditioner
to any other place.
.For the rear-right-hand and rear-left-
hand piping, install the piping as
shown in the sideward figure. Bend
the connective pipe to be laid at
a height of 1.69" or less from
the wall. Fix the end of the
connective pipe.

Drainage
1. Runthe drain hose sloping
downward. Do not install the drain
hose as illustrated sideward.
.When connecting extension drain
hose, insulate the connecting part
of extension drain hose with a
shield pipe, do not let the drain
hose slack.
Fastening the indoor Unit
1. Pass the piping through the hole in
the wall.
2. Put the upper claw at the back of
the indoor unit on the upper hook of
the installation plate, move the
indoor unit from side to side to see
that it is securely hooked.
Do not block
water flow
by a rise.

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. Cushioning
material
Piping and wrapping
1. Bundle the tubing, connecting
cable, and drain hose with tape
securely and evenly as shown
in the sideward figure.
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.

Attention
]. 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. Both of the auxiliary piping should be heat insulation.
5. Be sure that the drain hose is located at the lowest side of the bundle. Locating
at the upper side may cause drain pan to overflow inside the unit.
6. Never intercross nor intertwist the power wire with any other wiring.
7. Runthe drain hose sloped downward to drain out the condensed water
smoothly.

Outdoor unit installation
1. Install the outdoor part of the unit
on a rigid surface to avoid excess
noise and vibration.
2. Direct the air vent toward an area
without obstacles.
3. InstalJthe unit at the site where it is
exposed to as little wind as possible,
especially in areas where it is
frequently windy.
4. If the installation site is exposed to
heavy winds, such as in coastal
areas, place the unit along the
widest part of the wall or use
protective plates.
5. If suspended installation is needed,
purchase kit No.EA140S from your
local or servicer. The installation
bracket should accord with technique
requirement in the installation
bracket diagram. The installation
wall should be solid brick, concrete
or the same intensity construction,
or action to reinforce, damping
supporting should be taken.
The connection between bracket
and wall, bracket and the air
conditioner should be firm,
stable and reliable.
6. Be sure there is no obstacle which
blocks radiating air, including
schrubs or bushes.

The condensate and defrosting water formd during heating
in the outdoor unit can be properly discharged by drainage
pipe.
Installation method:Insert the drain connection into one of the
025 holes of the chassis and then connect drainage pipe with
drain nozzle. Insert drainage plugs into the other holes

Refrigerant piping connection
Unit comes with ] 6.4' tubing bundle. It is not recommended to cut. If too long,
loop for excess.
Note: Keep original bend so not kinking of the tube occurs.
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 4.9ft longer than the
pipe length.
2. Burr removal
A) Completely remove all burrs from
the cut cross section of pipe/tube.
B) Putthe end of the copper
tube/pipe in a downward direction
as you remove burrs in order to
avoid dropping burrs into the
tubing.
3. Put nut on.
Remove flare nuts attached to
indoor and outdoor unit, then put
them on pipe/tube having
completed burr removal.fit is not
possible to put them on after flaring
