Installation
Installation of the indoor unit
• Before starting installation, decide on the position of the indoor and outdoor
units, taking into account the minimum space required around the units.
• Install the indoor unit in the room to be air conditioned, avoid installation in
corridors or communal areas.
• Install the indoor unit at a height of at least 2.5m from the ground.
Installing the mounting plate
• Use a spirit level to put the mounting
plate in a perfectly level position
vertically and horizontally.
• Drill 32mm deep holes in the wall to
fix the plate.
• Insert the plastic anchors into the hole.
• Fix the mounting plate by using the
provided tapping screws, as illustrated,
right.
• Check that the mounting plate is
correctly fixed.
Drilling a hole in the wall for the piping
• Decide where to drill the hole in the wall for the piping, if necessary,
according to the position of the mounting plate.
• Install a flexible flange through the hole in the wall
to keep the latter intact and clean.
NOTE: The hole must slope downwards towards
the exterior.
Keep the drain pipe down towards the
direction of the wall hole, otherwise
leakage may occur.

Installation (Cont.)
Electrical connections for the indoor unit
• Lift the front panel.
• Take off the cover as indicated on the right (by
removing a screw or breaking the hooks).
• For the electrical connections, see the circuit
diagram on the right part of the unit under the
front panel.
• Connect the cable wires to the screw terminals
by following the numbering. Use wire of a size
suitable to the electric power input (see the
unit rating plate) and according to all current
national safety code requirements.
• The cable connecting the outdoor and indoor
units must be suitable for outdoor use.
• The plug must be accessible after the
appliance has been installed so that it can be pulled out, if necessary.
• An efficient earth connection must be ensured.
• If the power cable is damaged, contact the after sales support line for
advice on replacement.
NOTE: The cable wires have been connected to the indoor unit’s main PCB
by the manufacturer according to the model without terminal block.
Refrigerant piping connection
• The piping can be run in the three directions,
as indicated by the numbers 1 to 3 in the
illustration, right. When the piping is run in
directions 1 or 3, cut a notch along the groove
on the side of the indoor unit with a cutter.
• Run the piping in the direction of the wall hole
and bind the copper pipes, the drain pipe and
the power cables together with tape at the
bottom, so that water can flow freely.

Installation (Cont.)
Connecting the pipes
• Do not remove the cap from the pipe until connecting it, to avoid dampness
or dirt from entering.
• If the pipe is bent or pulled too often, it will become stiff. Do not bend the
pipe more than three times at one point.
• When extending rolled pipe, straighten the pipe by unwinding it gently, as
illustrated below.
Connections to the indoor unit
• Remove the indoor unit pipe cap and check
that there is no debris inside.
• Insert the nut and create a flange at the
extreme end of the connection pipe.
• Tighten the connections by using two
wrenches working in opposite directions.
Water drainage from the indoor unit
The condensed water drainage from the indoor unit is fundamental for the
success of the installation.
• Place the drain hose below the piping,
taking care not to create siphons.
• The drain hose must slant downwards to
aid drainage, as illustrated, right.
• Do not bend the drain hose or leave it
protruding or twisted and do not put
the end of it in water. If an extension is
connected to the drain hose, ensure
that it is lagged when it passes into
the indoor unit.
• If the piping is installed to the right, the
pipes, power cable and drain hose must
be lagged and secured onto the rear of the
unit with a pipe connection.
1) Insert the pipe connection into the
relative slot.
2) Press to join the pipe connection to the base.

Installation (Cont.)
After having connected the pipe according to the instructions, install the
connection cables, then the drain pipe. After connection, lag the pipe, cables
and drain pipe with the insulating material.
• Arrange the pipes, cables and drain hose well.
• Lag the pipe joints with insulating material, securing it with vinyl tape.
• Run the bound pipe, cables and drain pipe through the wall hole and mount
the indoor unit onto the upper part of the mounting plate securely.
• Press and push the lower part of the indoor unit tightly against the mounting plate.

Installation (Cont.)
Installation of the outdoor unit
• The outdoor unit should be installed on a solid wall and fastened securely.
• Before connecting pipes and cables, decide on the best position on the
wall, leaving enough space for easy maintenance.
• Fasten the support to the wall using screw anchors that are particularly
suited to the type of wall.
• Use a larger quantity of screw anchors than normally required for the weight
they have to bear to avoid vibration during operation and remain fastened in
the same position for years without the screws becoming loose.
• The unit must be installed following all relevant local regulations.
Water drainage from the outdoor unit
Condensed water and ice formed in the outdoor unit while in heating mode
can be drained away through a drain pipe.
• Fasten the drain port in the 25mm hole
placed in the part of the unit as illustrated on
the right.
• Connect the drain port and the drain pipe.
• Make sure that water is drained into a
suitable place.
Electrical connections
• Take off the cover.
• Connect the cable wires to the terminal
board using the same numbering as in
the indoor unit.
• For the electrical connections, see the
wiring diagram on the back of the cover.
• Fasten the cables with a cable clamp.
• An efficient earth connection must be
ensured.
• Replace the cover.

Connecting the pipes
Screw the flare nuts to the outdoor unit coupling with the same tightening
procedures described for the indoor unit. To avoid leakage, pay attention to
the following points:
• Tighten the flare nuts using two wrenches, taking care not to damage the
pipes.
• If the tightening torque is not sufficient, there will probably be some
leakage. With excessive tightening of the torque there may also be some
leakage, as the flange could be damaged.
• The best way to tighten the connections is using a fixed wrench and a
torque wrench, as illustrated on page 11.
Bleeding
Air and humidity left inside the refrigerant circuit can cause compressor
malfunction. After having connected the indoor and outdoor units, bleed the
air and humidity from the refrigerant circuit by using a vacuum pump.
• Unscrew and remove the caps from the 2-way and 3-way valves.
• Unscrew and remove the cap from the service port.
• Connect the vacuum pump hose to the service port.
• Operate the vacuum pump for 10 - 15 minutes until an absolute vacuum
of 10mm Hg has been reached.

Installation (Cont.)
• With the vacuum pump still in operation, close the low-pressure knob on
the vacuum pump coupling. Stop the vacuum pump.
• Open the 2-way valve by ¼ turn and
then close it after 10 seconds. Check
all the joints for leaks using liquid
soap or an electronic leak device.
• Turn the body of the 2-way and
3-way valves. Disconnect the
vacuum pump hose.
• Replace and tighten all the caps on
the valves.

Final stage
• Wind insulating covering around
the joints of the indoor unit and fix
it with insulating tape.
• Fix the exceeding part of the
signal cable to the piping or to the
outdoor unit.
• Fix the piping to the wall (after
having coated it with insulating
tape) using clamps, or insert them
into plastic slots.
• Seal the hole in the wall through
which the piping is passed so that
no air or water can enter.
Indoor unit test
• Does the ON/OFF switch work properly?
• Do the HEATING, COOLING and FAN modes operate normally?
• Do the TIMER-ON and TIMER-OFF functions operate properly?
• Does each indicator light work properly?
• Do the flaps for air flow direction operate normally?
• Is the condensed water drained regularly?
Outdoor unit test
• Is there any abnormal noise or vibration during operation?
• Could the noise, airflow or condensed water drainage disturb the
neighbours?
• Is there any coolant leakage?
NOTE: The electronic controller allows the compressor to start only three
minutes after voltage has reached the system.
