INSTALLATION
(1) Install wall-mounted plate
1. Fix the location of wall-mounted plate according to the installation position of indoor
unit and the direction of pipes. Please leave enough place for installation.
2. The wall-mounted plate should be fixed horizontally and vertically, or the water will
drop on the floor.

INSTALLATION
(3) Requirement for electricity
Note:
Use a special power circuit with suitable capacity for the air conditioner. (≧16A)
Select proper fuse and match with a leakage protector.
The air conditioner should be equipped with a special switch, a plug and earthed
reliably.
Do not change power cord or plug.
The voltage range of the power supply should be 220±10%.
(4) Install the connecting pipes
Note:
Never turn the nuts off from the connecting pipes’ ends before connecting the pipes of
indoor and outdoor units.
After turning the nuts off from the connecting pipes’ ends, the pipes should be
connected immediately to prevent dust and water entering the system.
The tie-in nut can not be fixed excess tight or loose, otherwise leakage will easily
occur.
If pipes need to be bent when connecting, attention must be paid not to bend the pipes
shriveled, the bending radius should be over 10cm.

section should not be over 3 times.
Before bending the pipes, please arrange the wires, drain hose and pipes. Do not
damage the drain hose.
Be careful when bending, do not damage the heat insulation layer.
Do not remove the pipe strap when connecting.
