you need to see it after reading this manual thoroughly.
Make sure to read the following safety precautions carefully before installation.
Make sure to observe the cautions specified in this manual.
Conduct a test run of the unit after installation and then explain all system functions to the owner.
The indications and meanings are as shown below.
WARNING
This indicates the possibility of serious injury or death.

Installation must be carried
out by a qualified installer.

Installers are required to read
the general information
carefully for safety.

Do not put the unit near
dangerous substances to
prevent fire, explosion or
injury and do not expose
the unit to direct sunlight.
Do not install the unit by
yourself (owners).
Incorrect installation of the
unit could cause injury due
to fire, electric shock and
water leakage or from the
unit falling. Consult a dealer
or a qualified installer.
Install the unit in a place
where it is strong enough
to hold the product weight.
When installed in place
where it is not strong
enough to withhold the
product weight, the unit
could fall and cause injury.
The units must be installed
according to distances
declared, in order to permit
accessibility from each side,
either to guarantee correct
operation of maintenance
or repairing products. The
unit’sparts must be reach-
able
and removable completely
under safety condition
(for people or things).

Use the specified wires to
connect the indoor and
outdoor units securely and
attach the wires firmly to the
terminal block connecting
sections so that the pressure
is not applied to the sections.
Inappropriate connection and
fixing could cause fire.

Avoid the use of an
extension cord and do not
share the power outlet with
other appliances. Incomplete
connection, defective
insulation or exceeding the
permissible current may cause
electric shock or fire.

Make sure that the refrigerant
gas does not leak after
completing the installation.
If the refrigerant gas of
the indoor unit leaks and
comes into contact with the
fan heater, space heater or
stove, harmful substances
will be generated.
Perform the installation
securely referring to
the installation manual.
Incomplete installation
could cause personal injury
due to fire, electric shock
and water leakage or from
the unit falling.
Attach the electrical cover
to the indoor and outdoor
unit securely. If not, it could
result in fire or electric
shock due to dust or water.
Make sure to use the part
provided or specified parts
for the installation work.
The use of defective parts
could cause an injury or
leakage of water due to a
fire, an electric shock, the
unit falling, etc.
Make sure to turn off
the main power when
setting up the indoor unit
electrical circuit or power
cords.
There is a risk of electric
shock.

CAUTION
This indicates the possibility of serious injury or damage to environments when
operated incorrectly.

Check the unit for damage
that may have taken place
during transportation and do
not install or use damaged

a proper recycling or disposal
center or return it to the
dealer so that it can be
disposed correctly.
Grounding the unit.
Do not connect the ground
to a gas pipe, water pipe,
lightning rod or telephone
grounding. Defective
grounding could cause
electric shock.

Do not install the unit in a
place where it is exposed to
inflammable gas leakage.
There is a risk of explosion.

Install a ground leakage
breaker depending on the
installation place (where it is
humid). If not, it may cause
electric shock.

Perform the drainage/piping
work securely according to
the installation manual.
If not, water could drop from
the unit and household
goods could get wet and
damaged.
Fasten a flare nut with a
torque wrench as specified
in this installation manual.
When fastened too tight,
a flare nut may break after
a long period of time and
cause refrigerant leakage.

To prevent injury when
accidentally touching the
indoor unit fan, install the
indoor unit on a place higher
than 8.2ft (2.5m).

The air conditioner must be
installed according to the
national electrical
regulations.

The maximum input power &
current is measured
according to the IEC standard
and the input power &
current is measured

Fixing the Installation Plate
Purging the Indoor Unit
The indoor unit is supplied with inert gas (nitrogen).
Before installing the unit, check if nitrogen gas flow out of indoor unit.
If this one isn’t true, DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT since leakage could be inside
Unscrew the caps at the end of each pipe.
Result: All inert gas exhausts from the indoor unit.

To prevent dirt or foreign substances from getting into the pipes during
installation, do NOT remove the caps completely until you are ready to
connect the pipes.
installing the air condtioner
Before fixing the installation plate to the wall or window frame, you must
determine the position of the 2.56 inch (65mm) hole through which the cable,
pipe and hose pass to connect the indoor unit to the outdoor unit.
When facing the wall, the pipe and cable can be connected from the:
Right
Left
Underside (right)
Rear (right or left)
1
Determine the position of the pipe and drain hose hole as seen in the picture
and drill the hole with an inner diameter of 2.56 inch (65mm) so that it slants
slightly downwards.
2If you fix the indoor unit to a... Follow step(s)...
Wall 3.
Window frame 4 to 6.
3
Fix the installation plate to the wall giving attention to the weight of the
indoor unit.
 If you mount the plate to a concrete wall with anchor bolts, the anchor
bolts must not project more than 0.8 inch (20mm).
4
Determine the positions of the wooden uprights to be attached to the
window frame.
5
Attach the wooden uprights to the window frame giving attention to the
weight of the indoor unit.
