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.

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.

Installing and Connecting the Assembly Pipe of the Indoor Unit
There are 2 refrigerant pipes of different diameters:
The smaller one is for the liquid refrigerant
The larger one is for the gas refrigerant
A short pipe is already fitted to the air conditioner. You must extend the pipe
using the assembly pipe. (Optional)
The connection procedure for the refrigerant pipe varies according to the
exit position of the pipe when facing the wall:
Right(A)
Left(B)
Underside(C)
Rear
1
Cut out the appropriate knock-out piece on the rear of the indoor unit unless
you connect the pipe directly from the rear.
2
Smooth the cut edges.
3
Remove the protection caps of the pipes and connect the assembly pipe
to each pipe. Tighten the nuts first with your hands, and then with a torque
wrench applying the following torque.
Outer Diameter(D) Torque
1/4 inch (6.35mm) 10.1~12.3 ft.lb (140~170 kgh.cm)

3/4 inch (19.05mm) 71.6~87.5 ft.lb (990~1210 kgh.cm)
 If you want to shorten or extend pipes, refer to page 11.
4
Cut off the remaining foam insulation.
5
If necessary, bend the pipe round along the bottom of the indoor unit.
Then pull it out through the appropriate hole.
 The pipe should not be projected from the rear of the indoor unit.
 The bending radius should be more than 4inch(100mm).
6
Pass the pipe through the hole in the wall.
7
For further details on how to connect to the outdoor unit and purge the air,

Cutting or Extending the Pipe
A 5-meter pipe is supplied with the air conditioner. (Optional)
The length of the pipe can be:
Extended up to 98.4ft(30m)
Shortened as required
 If you need a pipe longer than 24.6ft(7.5m):
You must extend the assembly cable.
 You must add refrigerant to the pipes;
otherwise, the indoor unit may freeze.
1
Make sure that you prepared the required tools. (pipe cutter, reamer, flaring
tool and pipe holder)
2
If you want to shorten the pipe, cut it using a pipe cutter ensuring that the
cut edge remains at 90° with the side of the pipe. There are some
examples of correctly and incorrectly cut edges below.
3To prevent a gas leak, remove all burrs at the cut edge of the pipe using a reamer.
4
Put a flare nut slightly into the pipe and modify the flare.

Purging the Connected Pipes
The outdoor unit is loaded with sufficient R22 refrigerant for a 24.6ft(7.5m)
pipe You should purge the air in the indoor unit and in the pipe.
If air remains in the refrigerant pipes, it affects the compressor. It may cause
reduction of cooling and heating capacity and malfunction. Refrigerant for
air purging is not charged in the outdoor unit.
Use Vacuum Pump as seen in the picture.
1
Connect each assembly pipe to the appropriate valve on the outdoor unit
and tighten the flare nut.
2
Tighten the flare nut first with your hands, and then with a torque wrench
applying the following torque.

3
Connect the charging hose of low-pressure side of manifold gauge to a gas
service port as seen in the picture.
4
Open the valve of the low pressure side of manifold gauge counterclockwise.
5
Purge the air in the connected pipes using vacuum pump for about 10 minutes.
- Close the valve of the low pressure side of manifold gauge clockwise.
- Make sure that pressure gauge show -0.1MPa(-76cmHg) after about
10 minutes.
This procedure is very important to avoid a gas leak.
- Turn off the vacuum pump.
- Remove the hose of the low pressure side of manifold gauge.
6
Set a valve cork of liquid and gas service port to the open position.
7
Mount the valve stem nuts and the service port cap to the valve, and tighten
them at the torque of 13.2ft.lb(183kgf.cm) with a torque wrench.
