Installation
◆Installation Location
Indoor Unit
1. The inlet and outlet should not be covered so that the outflow air can reach all parts of the room.
2. Install in a location from which the condensation water can be drained out conveniently and that is
permitting easy connection with the outdoor unit.
3. Avoid a location where there is heat source, steam or inflammable gas.
4. Install in a location where it can withstand the full weight and vibration of the unit.
5. Be sure to leave enough space to allow access for routine maintenance. The height of the installation
should be 7.55 feet or more away from the floor.
6. Install in a location where it is 3.28 feet or more away from other electric appliances such as television,
audio devices, etc.
7. Select a location where it is easy to remove and clean the filter.
8. Be sure that the installation conforms to the installation dimension diagram.
9. The plug should be accessible after the appliance is positioned.
Outdoor Unit
10. Select a location from which noise and outflow air emitted by unit will not inconvenience neighbors.
11. Select a location where there should be sufficient ventilation.
12. The inlet and outlet should not be covered.
13. The location should be able to withstand the full weight and vibration of the outdoor unit and permit
safe installation.
14. There should be no danger of flammable gas or corrosive gas leaks.

◆Electric Wiring
1. All the electric work must be done according to the wiring diagram.
2. Check for the correct voltage of the unit.
3. Don’t pull the power cord strongly.
4. The air conditioner must be safely grounded! Grounding wire must be connected to the building and
done by the qualified personnel. In fixed circuit, there must be electricity leakage protection switch of
enough power capacity and air switch with enough space. Air switch (thermal-magnetic breaker) can
protect the short circuit and over load.
◆Grounding Requirement
1. The air conditioner is class 1 appliance, so it must connect with ground reliably.
2. The yellow-green wires in the air conditioner are grounding wires and can’t be used for other purposes.
3. The grounding-resistance should conform to the requirement of IEC Standard.

3. Be sure that the rear panel has been fixed firmly
enough to withstand the weight of an adult of
132.3 lbs; furthermore, the weight should be
evenly shared by each screw.
• Install the piping hole
1. Make the piping hole （Φ50）in the wall at a slight downward slant to the out door side. (Shown in
Fig. 1)
2. Insert the piping-hole sleeve into the hole to prevent the connection piping and wiring from being
damaged when passing through the hole.
• Install the drainage hose
1. For well draining, the drain hose should be placed at a
downward slant.
2. Do not wrench or bend the drain hose or flood its end by
water.
3. The extended drainage pipe in the room should be wrapped
with the insulating materials.
• Install the connection pipes
Connect the connection pipes with the relevant union pipes of the indoor unit and tighten the flare nut of the
connection pipes (Shown in P16 “Install the connection pipes”).
NOTE:
1. Connect the connection pipes with the indoor unit first
and the outdoor unit second.
2. Be careful in bending the connection pipes, or you will
damage the pipes.
3. Do not over tighten the flare nut. There is a possibility
of leakage.
• Electric wiring
1. Open the surface panel.
2. Remove the fixed screw from the wiring cover as shown at the right side.
3. Route the power connection cord from the back of the indoor unit and pull it toward the front through
the wiring hole for connection.

the chassis in necessary (shown in Fig.4 (a), (b) and (c)).
(1) Cut off the tailings 1 when routing the wiring only.
(2) Cut off the tailings 1 and tailings 2 (or tailings 1, tailings 2 and tailings 3) when routing both the
wiring and piping.
①, ②, and ③in Fig. 4 are the recommended piping.
2. Wrap the piping and wiring and pull them through the cut-off-tailings hole (Shown in Fig.5).
3. Hang the mounting slots of the indoor unit on the upper tabs of the rear panel and check if it is secured.
4. The height of the installed location should be 6.56 feet or more from the floor.
