Safety Precautions
Installation Manual 5
ENGLISH
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
neighborhoods.
• It may cause a problem for your neighbors.
Use two or more people to lift and transport the
product.
• Avoid personal injury.

Installation of Unit
Installation of Unit
1. Indoor unit
• There should not be any heat source or
steam near the unit.
• There should not be any obstacles to
prevent the air circulation.
• A place where air circulation in the room
will be good.
• A place where drainage can be easily
obtained.
• A place where noise prevention is taken
into consideration.
• Do not install the unit near the door way.
• Ensure the spaces indicated by arrows
from the wall, ceiling, or other obstacles.
• The indoor unit must keep the
maintenance space.
2. Outdoor unit
• If an awning is built over the unit to prevent
direct sunlight or rain exposure, be careful
that heat radiation from the condenser is
not restricted.
• There should not be any animals or plants
which could be affected by hot air
discharged.
• Ensure the spaces indicated by arrows
from the wall, ceiling, fence or other
obstacles.

1.The mounting floor should be strong and solid
enough to prevent it from vibration.
2. Drill the piping hole with 70mm diameter hole-
core drill at either the right or the left of indoor
unit. The hole should be sightly slant to the
outdoor side.
3. Insert the plastic tube through the hole.
4. Cut the extruded outside part of the plastic
tube, if necessary.
1. Install the outdoor unit on the concrete or any solid base securely and horizontally by securing it
with bolts (Ø12mm) and nuts.
2. If there is any vibration transmitted to the building, mount the rubber underneath the outdoor unit.
Refrigerant amount
Before shipment, this air conditioner is filled
with the rated amount of refrigerant including
additional amount required for air-purging,
subject to 5m piping length. (The rated amount
of refrigerant is indicated on the name plate.)
But when the piping length exceeds 5 meters,
additional charge is required according to the
following table.
Example) 28K/30K
In case of 10m long pipe(one-way), the amount
of refrigerant to be replenished is:
(10 - 5) x 30 = 150g
(Unit: g)
