INSTALLATION SITE INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Installation Site of Indoor Unit
Select a site that allows for the following:
• Ensure the installation complies with the installation minimum dimensions and meets the
minimum and maximum connecting piping length and maximum change in elevation.
• Air inlet and outlet will be clear of obstructions, ensuring proper airflow throughout the room.
• Condensate can be easily and safely drained.
• All connections can be easily made to outdoor unit.
• Indoor unit is out of reach of children.
• A wall strong enough to withstand the full weight and vibration of the unit.
• Filter can be easily accessed for cleaning.
• Leave enough free space to allow access for routine maintenance.
• Install at least 10 ft. (3 m) away from the antenna of TV set or radio. Operation of the air
conditioner may interfere with radio or TV reception in areas where reception is weak.
An amplifier may be required for the affected device.
• Do not install in a laundry room or by a swimming pool.
• Determine if condensate pump is required to properly drain condensate water from
the indoor unit.
Installation Site of Outdoor Unit
Select a site that allows for the following:
• Outdoor location meets all minimum installation distances defined in the Installation
Dimensions section.
• Sound from outdoor unit will not annoy neighbors.
• All connections can be easily made to indoor unit.
• Air inlet and outlet will be clear of obstructions to ensure proper airflow.
• Wall or roof is strong enough to withstand the full weight and vibration of the outdoor
unit (for wall or roof installation only).
• Outdoor unit is out of reach of children and does not obstruct walkways.
• Outdoor unit is not exposed to direct sunlight or strong wind.
• Maintenance and repairs can be easily performed on the outdoor unit.
• Ensure the installation complies with the minimum and maximum connecting piping
length and maximum change in elevation criteria.

INSTALLATION OF INDOOR UNIT
Step 2
Installation of Mounting Bracket
1. Attach the mounting bracket to the indoor unit.
2. Find the horizontal center of the indoor unit.
3. Mark the center of the indoor unit on mounting bracket for future reference.
NOTE: The center of the mounting bracket is not the center of the indoor unit.
4. Remove the mounting brackets from the indoor unit and position the mounting
bracket on the wall in desired location. Use centering mark on mounting bracket
for centering the indoor unit on the wall.
5. Mounting bracket must be installed horizontally and level right to left.
NOTE: Condensate drain pan has built-in pitch for proper drainage.
6. Secure mounting bracket to wall with a minimum of five screws, evenly spaced to
properly support indoor unit weight.
NOTE: It is recommended to install screw anchors for sheet rock, concrete block,
brick and such type of walls.
