1-1. THE FOLLOWING SHOULD ALWAYS BE OBSERVED FOR SAFETY
* Be sure to read “THE FOLLOWING SHOULD ALWAYS BE OBSERVED FOR SAFETY’ before installing the air conditioner.
* Be sure to observe the warnings and cautions specified here as they include important items related to safety.
* After reading this manual, be sure to keep it together with the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for future reference.
* Please report to your supply authority or obtain their consent before connecting this equipment to the power supply system.

OUTDOOR UNIT
Itis advisable to make a piping loop near outdoor unit
so as to reduce vibration transmitted from there.
For increased efficiency, install the outdoor unit in a
location where continuous direct sunlight or excessive
water can be avoided as much as possible.
Note:
When operating the air conditioner in low outside tempera-
ture, be sure to follow the instructions described below.
* Never install the outdoor unit in a place where its air
inlet/outlet side may be exposed directly to wind.
* To prevent exposure to wind, install the outdoor unit
with its air inlet side facing the wall.
* To prevent exposure to wind, itis recommended
to install a baffle board on the air outlet side of the
outdoor unit.
Avoid the following places for installation where air
conditioner trouble is liable to occur.
* Where flammable gas could leak.
* Where there is much machine oil.
* Salty places such as the seaside.
* Where sulfide gas is generated such as a hot
spring.
* Where there is high-frequency or wireless equipment.

2. INDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION
2-1. FIXING OF INSTALLATION PLATE
* Find a structural material (such as a stud) in the wall and fix installation plate (1) hori-
zontally with fixing screws (2).
* To prevent installation plate (1) from vibrating, be sure to install the fixing screws in the
holes indicated in the illustration. For added support, fixing screws may also be installed
in other holes.
* When bolts recessed in the concrete wall are to be utilized, secure installation plate (1)
using 7/16 in. x 13/16 in - 7/16 in. x 1 in. (44 mm * 20 mm - 11 mm * 26 mm) oval hole
(17-3/4 in. [450 mm] pitch).
* If the recessed bolt is too long, change it for a shorter one available in the market.
2-2. WALL HOLE DRILLING
1) Determine the wall hole position.
2) Drill a dia. 3 in. (75 mm) hole. The outdoor side should be 6/32 to 9/32 in. (5 to 7 mm)
lower than the indoor side.
3) Insert wall hole sleeve (C).
2-3. CONNECTING WIRES FOR INDOOR UNIT
Note:
When the indoor unit is powered from the outdoor unit, a disconnect switch needs to be
installed to power supply circuit (between indoor and outdoor unit) depending on local code.
1) Remove the front panel. (Refer to 5-1.)
2) Hook the upper part of the indoor unit on the installation plate.
3) Remove electrical cover.
4) Remove SW TB cover.
5) Remove corner box.
6) Remove display panel and conduit cover
7) Fix conduit pipe (for rear piping) / elbow joint (for right, left, or downward piping) to con-
duit plate with lock nut. The thread part of installed conduit pipe / elbow joint appearing
inside should be less than 3/8 in. (10 mm). (Fig. 1) Elbow joint should appear less than
4-3/16 in. (30 mm) outside. (Fig. 2)
8) Process the end of ground wire (Fig. 3). Connect it to the ground terminal of electrical
parts box.
9) Process the end of indoor/outdoor unit connecting wire (A) (Fig.3). Fix it to terminal
block. Be careful not to make mis-wiring. Fix the wire to the terminal block securely so
that no part of its core is appeared, and no external force is conveyed to the connecting
section of the terminal block.
10) Firmly tighten the terminal screws to prevent them from loosening. After tightening, pull
the wires lightly to confirm that they do not move.
11) Reinstall display panel and conduit cover.
42) According to the piping direction, cut off the shaded part of the left side of box (Fig.4) or
corner box (Fig. 5).
13) Reinstall SW TB cover.
14) Reinstall electrical cover.
15) Reinstall front panel.

2-4. PIPE FORMING AND DRAIN PIPING
2-4-1. PIPE FORMING
* Place the drain hose below the refrigerant piping.
* Make sure that the drain hose is not heaved or snaked.
* Do not pull the hose when applying the tape.
* When the drain hose passes the room, be sure to wrap insulation material (obtainable
at a store) around it.
Note:
Screws may damage the cover of refrigerant pipe during left piping.
Make sure not to damage the cover of refrigerant pipe.
Left or left-rear piping
Note:
Be sure to reattach the drain hose and the drain cap in case of left or left-rear piping.
Otherwise, it could cause drops of water to drip down from the drain hose.
1) Put the refrigerant piping and the drain hose together, then firmly apply felt tape (7) from
the end.
Felt tape (7) overlap width should be 1/3 the tape width. Use a bandage stopper at the
end of felt tape (7).
2) Pull out the drain cap at the rear right of the indoor unit. (Fig. 1)
* Hold the convex section at the end and pull the drain cap.
3) Pull out the drain hose at the rear left of the indoor unit. (Fig. 2)
* Hold the claw marked by the arrows and pull out the drain hose forward.
4) Put the drain cap into the section to which the drain hose is to be attached at the rear of
the indoor unit. (Fig. 3)
* Insert not sharp-edged tools such as screwdrivers into the hole at the end of the cap
and insert the cap fully into the drain pan.
5) Insert the drain hose fully into the drain pan at the rear right of the indoor unit. (Fig. 4)
* Check if the hose is hooked securely to the projection of its inserting part at the
drain pan.
6) Insert the drain hose into wall hole sleeve (C), and hook the upper part of indoor unit on
installation plate (1). Then, move the indoor unit completely to the left in order to make
placing the piping in the back space of the unit easier.
7) Cut out a part of packing material, hook it onto the back rib, and use it as a spacer to lift
the indoor unit. (Fig. 5)
8) Connect the refrigerant piping with the extension pipe (B).
9) Thrust the lower part of the indoor unit into the installation plate (1).
Rear or downward piping
1) Put the refrigerant piping and the drain hose together, then firmly apply piping tape (G)
from the end.
2) Insert the piping and the drain hose into the wall hole sleeve (C), and hook the upper
part of the indoor unit on the installation plate (1).
3) Check if the indoor unit is hooked securely on the installation plate (1) by moving the
unit to left and right.
4) Thrust the lower part of the indoor unit into the installation plate (1).
Right piping
Note:
Before performing the following, make sure that wiring is completed, and the conduit cover
is installed. (Refer to 2-3.)
1) Put the refrigerant piping and the drain hose together, position them to left side, and
then firmly apply piping tape (G) from the end.
2) Insert the piping and the drain hose into the wall hole sleeve (C), and hook the upper
part of the indoor unit on the installation plate (1).
3) Check if the indoor unit is hooked securely on the installation plate (1) by moving the
unit to left and right.
4) Thrust the lower part of the indoor unit into the installation plate (1).
