WARNING
sCarefully read the Safety Precautions before installation.
s In certain functional environments, such as kitchens, server rooms, etc., the use of specially designed air-
conditioning units is highly recommended.
sOnly trained and certified technicians should install, repair and service this air conditioning unit.
Improper installation may result in electrical shock, short circuit, leaks, fire or other damage to the equipment and
personal property.
sStrictly follow the installation instructions set forth in this manual.
Improper installation may result in electrical shock, short circuit, leaks, fire or other damage to the equipment.
sBefore you install the unit, consider strong winds, typhoons and earthquakes that might affect your unit and
locate it accordingly. Failure to do so could cause the equipment to fail.
sAfter installation, ensure there are no refrigerant leaks and that the unit is operating properly. Refrigerant is both
toxic and flammable and poses a serious health and safety risk.

Safety Precautions
WARNING
sSecurely install the indoor unit on a structure that
can sustain its weight. If the structure is too weak
the unit may fall causing personal injury, unit and
property damage or death.
sInstall the indoor unit at a height of more than
2.5m (8’) above the floor.
s DO NOT install the indoor unit in the bathroom or
laundry room as excessive moisture can short the
unit and corrode the wiring.
CAUTION
sInstall the indoor and outdoor units, cables and
wires at least 1m (3.2’) from televisions or radios
to prevent static or image distortion. Depending
on the appliances, a 1m (3.2’) distance may not be
sufficient.
sIf the indoor unit is installed on a metal part of the
building, it must be electrically grounded.

Indoor Unit Installation Instructions
NOTE: Panel installation should be done after piping
and wiring.
Step 1: Select installation location
The indoor unit should be installed in a location that
meets the following requirements:
The unit is at least 1m (39”) from the nearest wall.
There is enough room for installation and
maintenance.
There is enough room for the connecting pipe and
drainpipe.
The ceiling is horizontal and its structure can sustain
the weight of the indoor unit.
The air inlet and outlet are not impeded.
The airflow can fill the entire room.
There is no direct radiation from heaters.
CAUTION
DO NOT install the unit in the following locations:
In areas with oil drilling or fracking
In coastal areas with high salt content in the air
In areas with caustic gases in the air, such as near
hot springs
In areas with power fluctuations, such as factories
In enclosed spaces, such as cabinets
In kitchens that use natural gas
In areas with strong electromagnetic waves
In areas that store flammable materials or gas
In rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms or
laundry rooms
RECOMMENDED D ISTANCES BETWEEN THE I NDOOR U NIT AND THE C EILING
The distance between the mounted indoor unit and the internal ceiling should meet the following specifications.

CAUTION
The unit body should align perfectly with the hole.
Ensure that the unit and the hole are the same size
before moving on.
2. Drill 4 holes 5cm (2”) deep at the ceiling hook positions
in the internal ceiling. Be sure to hold the drill at a 90°
angle to the ceiling.
3. Using a hammer, insert the ceiling hooks into the
pre-drilled holes. Secure the bolt using the included
washers and nuts.
4. Install the four suspension bolts (See Fig. 4.4).
Step 2: Hang indoor unit.
1. Use the included paper template to cut a rectangular hole in the ceiling, leaving at least 1m (39”) on all sides. The
hole will be 60x60cm (23.6x23.6”) big. Be sure to mark the areas where ceiling hook holes will be drilled.

5. Mount the indoor unit. You will need two people to
lift and secure it. Insert suspension bolts into the unit’s
hanging holes. Fasten them using the included washers
and nuts (See Fig. 4.5).
Fig. 4.5
NOTE: The bottom of the unit should be 24mm (0.9”)
higher than the ceiling board. Generally, L
(indicated in Fig. 4.6) should be half the length of the
suspension bolt or long enough to prevent the nuts from
coming off.
Fig. 4.6
CAUTION
Ensure that the unit is completely level. Improper
installation can cause the drain pipe to back up into the
unit or water leakage.

NOTE: Ensure that the indoor unit is level. The unit is
equipped with a built-in drain pump and float switch.
If the unit is tilted against the direction of condensate
flows (the drainpipe side is raised), the float switch may
malfunction and cause water to leak.

NOTE FOR NEW HOME INSTALLATION
When installing the unit in a new home, the ceiling
hooks can be embedded in advance. Make sure that the
hooks do not come loose due to concrete shrinkage.
After installing the indoor unit, fasten the installation
paper template onto the unit with bolts (M6X12) to
determine in advance the dimension and position of the
opening on the ceiling. Follow the instructions above for
the remainder of the installation.
