Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions must be taken when using your air conditioner.
WARNING • If you don’t follow the safety precautions, you may get the risk of an
electric shock, injury or death.
• The manufacturer or qualified service personnel must install this air conditioner.
• Unplug the electric power before repairing, installing or cleaning.
 Users should not install the air conditioner by themselves.
Ask the dealer or authorized company to install the air conditioner
except the window-type air conditioner in U.S.A and Canada.
 If you don’t install the air conditioner properly, it may cause a fire,
a water leakage or an electric shock.
 Install the indoor unit higher than 8.2ft(2.5m) from the floor to avoid the
injury caused by the operation of the fan. (except the window-type air
conditioner)
 The manufacturer is not responsible for the accidents or injury caused
by an incorrect installation.
 When installing the built-in type air conditioner, keep all electric cables
such as the power cable and the connection cord in pipes, ducts, or
cable channels to protect them from the danger of impact or any other
incidents.
INSTALLING THE
AIR CONDITIONER
 If the power cord of the air conditioner is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified person in order to avoid
a hazard.
 The air conditioner must be plugged into an independent circuit if
applicable or connect the power cable to the auxiliary circuit breaker.
An all pole disconnection from the power supply must be incorporated
in the fixed wiring with a contact opening of >0.12 inch(3mm).
 Do not extend an electric cord to the air conditioner.
 You must install the air conditioner according to the national wiring
regulations and safety regulations.

determine the position of the 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

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 on the concrete wall with anchor bolts,

Installing and Connecting the Drain Hose of the Indoor Unit
When installing the drain hose for the indoor unit, you should check if condensate draining is adequate.
When you pass the drain hose through the 65mm hole drilled in the wall, check the following.
To install the drain hose, do the following.
1
If necessary, connect the 6.6ft(2m) extension drain hose to the drain hose.
2
If you use the extension drain hose, insulate the inside of the extension drain
hose with a shield.
3
Fit the drain hose into 1 of 2 drain hose holes, and then fix the end of the
drain hose with a clamp tightly.
 If you don’t use the other drain hose hole, block it with a rubber stopper.
4
Pass the drain hose under the refrigerant pipe keeping the drain hose tight.
5
Pass the drain hose through the hole in the wall. Check if it slants downwards
as seen in the picture.
The hose will be fixed permanently into position after finishing the
installation and the gas leak test; refer to page 12 for further details.
Installing and Connecting the Drain Hose of the Outdoor Unit
While heating, ice may accumulate. During the process of defrosting, you
should check if condensate draining is adequate.
For the adequate draining, do the following.
1
Insert the drain plug into the drain hole on the underside of the outdoor
unit.
2
Connect the drain hose to the drain plug.
3
Ensure that condensate draining is adequate.
