• 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 condi-
tioner 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.

- Inert gas (nitrogen) should be used when you check plumbing leaks, cleaning or repairs of pipes
etc.
If you are using combustible gases including oxygen, product may have the risk of fires and explo-
sions.
• Use a vacuum pump or Inert (nitrogen) gas when doing leakage test or air purge. Do not compress
air or Oxygen and do not use flammable gases. Otherwise, it may cause fire or explosion.
- There is the risk of death, injury, fire or explosion.
Operation
• Do not store or use flammable gas or combustibles near the product.
- There is risk of fire or failure of product.
CAUTION
Installation
• Always check for gas (refrigerant) leakage after installation or repair of product.
- Low refrigerant levels may cause failure of product.
• Install the drain hose to ensure that water is drained away properly.
- A bad connection may cause water leakage.
• Keep level even when installing the product.
- To avoid vibration or water leakage.
• Do not install the product where the noise or hot air from the outdoor unit could damage the neigh-
borhoods.

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 of the unit.
- Make sure that condensation drainage can
be conveniently routed away.
- Do not install near a doorway.
- Ensure that the interval between a wall and
the left (or right) of the unit is more than
100mm. The unit should be installed as high
as possible on the wall, allowing a minimum
of 200mm from ceiling.
- Use a metal detector to locate studs to pre-
vent unnecessary damage to the wall.
* The feature can be changed according a
type of model.
Fixing Installation Plate
The wall you select should be strong and solid
enough to prevent vibration
1Mount 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 .
2Measure 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.

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.
Burrs removal
1. Completely remove all burrs from the cut
cross section of pipe/tube.
2. While removing burrs put the end of the
copper tube/pipe in a downward direction
while removing burrs location is also
changed in order to avoid dropping burrs
into the tubing.
Putting nut on
- 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 finishing
flare work)
Flaring work
1Firmly hold copper pipe in a bar with the di-
mension shown in below table table
below.
2Carry out flaring work with the flaring tool.

Installation of Indoor Unit
1Hook the indoor unit onto the upper por-
tion of the installation plate.( engage the
three hooks at the top of the indoor unit
with the upper edge of the installation
plate) Ensure that the hooks are properly
seated on the installation plate by moving
it left and right
2Unlock the tubing holder from the chassis
and mount between the chassis and instal-
lation plate in order to separate the bottom
side of the indoor unit from the wall.
* The feature can be changed according a
type of model.

terial and the indoor unit pipe insulation
material. Bind them together with vinyl
tape so that there may be no gap.
2Set the tubing cutting line upward.
Wrap the area which accommodates the
rear piping housing section with vinyl tape.
3Bundle the piping and drain hose together
by wrapping them with vinyl tape sufficient
enough to cover where they fit into the
rear piping housing section.
