Note about wall hole:
If there is no fixed refrigerant piping:
While choosing a location, be aware that you should leave ample room for a wall hole
(see Drill wall hole for connective piping step) for the signal cable and refrigerant
piping that connect the indoor and outdoor units. The default position for all piping
is the right side of the indoor unit (while facing the unit). However, the unit can
accommodate piping to both the left and right.
Refer to the following diagram to ensure proper distance from walls and ceiling:

Note for concrete or brick walls:
If the wall is made of brick, concrete, or similar material, drill 5mm-diameter (0.2in-
diameter) holes in the wall and insert the sleeve anchors provided. Then secure the
mounting plate to the wall by tightening the screws directly into the clip anchors.
Step 3: Drill wall hole for connective piping
You must drill a hole in the wall for refrigerant piping, the drainage pipe, and the signal cable that will
connect the indoor and outdoor units.
1. Determine the location of the wall hole based on the position of the mounting plate. Refer to
Mounting Plate Dimensions on the next page to help you determine the optimal position. The
wall hole should have a 65mm (2.5in) diameter at least, and at a slightly lower angle to facilitate
drainage.
2. Using a 65-mm (2.5in) core drill, drill a hole in the wall. Make sure that the hole is drilled at a slight
downward angle, so that the outdoor end of the hole is lower than the indoor end by about 5mm to
7mm (0.2-0.275in). This will ensure proper water drainage. (See Fig. 5.2)
3. Place the protective wall cuff in the hole. This protects the edges of the hole and will help seal it
when you finish the installation process.

Step 4: Prepare refrigerant piping
The refrigerant piping is inside an insulating sleeve attached to the back of the unit. You must prepare
the piping before passing it through the hole in the wall. Refer to the Refrigerant Piping Connection
section of this manual for detailed instructions on pipe flaring and flare torque requirements,
technique, etc.
1. Based on the position of the wall hole relative to the mounting plate, choose the side from which
the piping will exit the unit.
2. If the wall hole is behind the unit, keep the knock-out panel in place. If the wall hole is to the side of
the indoor unit, remove the plastic knock-out panel from that side of the unit. (See Fig. 5.3 ). This
will create a slot through which your piping can exit the unit. Use needle nose pliers if the plastic
panel is too difficult to remove by hand.
5 Indoor unit installation

18 / 56 EN Split-type room air conditioner / Installation Manual
Knock-out Panel
Fig. 5.3
3. Use scissors to cut down the length of the insulating sleeve to reveal about 15cm (6in) of the
refrigerant piping. This serves two purposes:
• To facilitate the Refrigerant Piping Connection process
• To facilitate Gas Leak Checks and enable you to check for dents
4. If existing connective piping is already embedded in the wall, proceed directly to the Connect
Drain Hose step. If there is no embedded piping, connect the indoor unit’s refrigerant piping to
the connective piping that will join the indoor and outdoor units. Refer to the Refrigerant Piping
Connection section of this manual for detailed instructions.
5. Based on the position of the wall hole relative to the mounting plate, determine the necessary
angle of your piping.
6. Grip the refrigerant piping at the base of the bend.
7. Slowly, with even pressure, bend the piping towards the hole. Do not dent or damage the piping
during the process.
C
Note on piping angle
Refrigerant piping can exit the indoor unit from four different angles:
•Left-hand side
•Left rear
•Right-hand side
•Right rear
Refer to Fig. 5.4 fo r details.

Fig. 5.4
A
Warning
Be extremely careful not to dent or damage the piping while bending them away from
the unit. Any dents in the piping will affect the unit’s performance.
Step 5: Connect drain hose
By default, the drain hose is attached to the lefthand side of unit (when you’re facing the back of the
unit). However, it can also be attached to the right-hand side.
1. To ensure proper drainage, attach the drain hose on the same side that your refrigerant piping exits
the unit.
2. Attach drain hose extension (purchased separately) to the end of drain hose.
3. Wrap the connection point firmly with Teflon tape to ensure a good seal and to prevent leaks.
4. For the portion of the drain hose that will remain indoors, wrap it with foam pipe insulation to
prevent condensation.
5. Remove the air filter and pour a small amount of water into the drain pan to make sure that water
flows from the unit smoothly.
C
Note on drain hose placement
Make sure to arrange the drain hose according to Fig. 5.5.
•DO NOT kink the drain hose.
•DO NOT create a water trap.
•DO NOT put the end of drain hose in water or a container that will collect water.
Plug the unused drain hole
To prevent unwanted leaks you must plug the unused drain hole with the rubber plug provided.
