Installation Instructions
for BRO412W1A
4000 - 12000 Btu
Friedrich Part No. 96091000 (Rev. 01)
CAUTION
SHOCK HAZARD - DO NOT PLUG-IN indoor unit until all installation work is completed!
Connect to a single dedicated circuit sized for the load.
DO NOT kink or bend refrigeration line-set less than 3” radius – A connecting line bending guide is provided.
Line-set is under high pressure – DO NOT Puncture line-set.
DO NOT Heat line-set.
Always follow all local and national codes when installing equipment. Obtain the help of trained, skilled
worker where necessary.
STEP 1 - Determine how you will connect the indoor and outdoor modules.
There are two options available:
OPTION 1 is to drill a 3” hole through the wall to pass
the connecting line through.
OPTION 2 is to use the Friedrich SimpleSill™ kit to pass
the connecting pipe through the window. The Simple-
Sill™ is an optional accessory available where Breeze
is sold.
DO NOT PLUG IN INDOOR UNIT until you have
completed the entire installation process.
Now that you have determined where the modules will be placed, it is time to install the Breeze air conditioning system.
STEP 2 – Hang wall mount bracket
Using the paper template as a guide, locate two studs
behind screw hole locations in the template. It is
preferable to mount the hanging plate on studs. If two
studs are not available, utilize anchors appropriate for
the wall type with a combined weight capacity of at least
60 lbs. Standard wood screws and drywall anchors are
provided.
If you are installing the system by drilling a 3” hole
through the wall (Option 1), mark the location of the 3”
hole centerline on the wall as well.
NOTE: Wall mount bracket ships mounted to the back of the indoor
unit with a single Phillips head screw. Remove screw to release the
bracket for installation.
STEP 3 – Drill hole (Option 1) or mount
SimpleSill™ (Option 2).
Always follow all local and national codes when in-
stalling equipment. Obtain the help of trained, skilled
worker where necessary.

Option 1: Drill hole Through-the-Wall Installation
3” hole location
Drill 3” hole through the exterior wall.
NOTE: This should only be done by qualified install-
ers. Consult local and national codes before drilling any
holes. Mark the hole location on the indoor wall using
NOTE:
Attach the wall
the template. (If locating unit above a window or door,
bracket to the wall
make sure the hole is above structural header)
with at least two
screws capable of
securing at least
60 lbs.
Using a stud finder, scan area around desired hole loca-
tion for pipes, ducts, electrical conductors and struc-
tural elements. Relocate indoor unit mounting location
as necessary to avoid interference.
Using a 3” hole saw, drill hole through wall from inside
toward outside. When hole saw cuts through inside wall,
stop drilling. DO NOT drill the entire 3” hole from the
inside to prevent insulation and exterior wall damage.
Depending on the type of insulation, it might be neces-
sary to trim excess insulation prior to completing the
hole. Once insulation is removed, continue drilling from
inside until center drill bit of the saw just penetrates the
outside wall.

Option 2: Window Installation Using Friedrich SimpleSill™
1. Be sure window sill is clean and free of dirt and debris. With the window raised,
place bottom seal gasket (trimmed to window width) firmly against window sill
(adhesive side down). Expand the SimpleSill™ 1” greater than the width of the win-
dow and install the securing pin. Place one end of the SimpleSill™ into the window
opening so it is against the corner of the window frame and sill. Raise the other
side of the SimpleSill™ 6-9 inches (depending on window width) above the window
sill. Next, press the raised side down until the SimpleSill™ is lodged securely into
position. The SimpleSill™ end gaskets will conform to the window track shape.
1.
2. Reference Step 4.2 and pass the connecting line out the window and insert it into
the connecting line form in the SimpleSill™.
3. Install top seal gasket to the bottom of the window so it will seal against the top of
the SimpleSill.
4. Replace the pass through cover.
5. Insert securing pins.
4.
6. Lower window frame against SimpleSill compressing gasket.
7. Depending on the type of window, install the appropriate security lock as recom-
mended by manufacturer.

STEP 4 - Line set installation
The Breeze connecting line set contains copper tubing that may kink if bent or formed incorrectly or repeatedly.
To avoid damaging your Breeze air conditioning system follow the 3 rules below throughout installation:
1) DO NOT uncoil and recoil the connecting line set more than two times.
2) DO NOT bend tubing in a radius smaller than 6”
3) ALWAYS use the tube bending guide when making bends greater than 45°
Following these instructions is critical for proper installation and to avoid damage to the unit. Damage to the
connecting line due to improper installation will not be covered by the warranty.
4.1 Option 1 (3” hole pass through)
Completely uncoil the line set as straight as possible. Starting with the quick connect end of the line set, pass the entire
length through the 3” hole. (Before installation break small plastic knockout on side of indoor unit for power cord to
pass through-see Step 3, Figure 3.1).
STEP 5
4.2 Option 2 (SimpleSill™ window installation)
Uncoil enough of the line set to completely pass through the SimpleSill. Pre bend
the line set using the enclosed template to match the desired shape as it passes
through the SimpleSill. Place remaining coiled line set outside the window for
later connection to the outdoor unit. Break full plastic knockout for line set to pass
through the side of the indoor unit-see Step 3, Figure 3.2.
STEP 5 - Hang the indoor module on the wall bracket.
Hang the module at the top first and rotate it down until the module is level with the
wall. (You may need to make adjustments to the connecting line to get the indoor
module to mount cleanly) The Breeze module is not designed to mount totally flush
to the wall. A space of 1/8” to 3/8” may be present between the module and the
wall.
The line set will sit in the recess of the
back of the indoor unit when mounted.
STEP 6 - Place the mounting pad.
STEP 6
Position the mounting pad so that the mounting holes are away from the house. Set the
outdoor module on the mounting pad so that the module feet align with the mounting holes.
Screw the outdoor module to the mounting pad with the 4 condenser pad installation washers
and screws provided (Items #7 and #8 in the Accessories List).
STEP 7 – Connect the quick connector from the indoor line set outdoor module.
1. Open lock handle on line-
set connector by pulling
back and rotating toward
indoor unit.
2. Grasp outer lock collar on
line-set connector and pull
back until it stops.
3. While holding outer lock
collar rearward, push line-
set connector body over
base connector on outdoor
unit half way and release
outer lock collar.
4. Continue to push line-set
connector onto base con-
nector until outer lock col-
lar engages base connector.
The outer lock collar will
snap into position with base
connector and a click will
be heard.
6. Install security screw
(Item 12 in the Accessories
List) to prevent tampering
with line-set connector
mechanism.
5. Grasp lock handle and
rotate to its closed posi-
tion.
1.
If you have excess connecting line, roll the line into a coil approximately 2 feet wide,
secure with the provided wire ties and store between the outdoor module and the wall.
DO NOT cut or kink the connecting line!
2.
STEP 8 – Connect the electrical connector from the connecting
line to outdoor module
1. Connect the black colored electrical connector from the connecting line into the mat-
ing connector on the outdoor module. The connectors will snap into place with a click.
(The plug can be removed by pushing in the side tabs on the plug and pulling the plug
body down and out of the receptacle.)
2. Install the electrical cord retention bracket (Item #5 in the Accessories List) using two
Item #5
Item #9
#8 x 3/4” screws (Item #9 in the Accessories List). The opening in the electrical cord
retention bracket should fit over the cord. Do not pinch the cord in the bracket.
3. Install the plastic cover (Item #2 in the Accessories List) as shown. There are two
screws on the outer flange of the cover and one screw under the electrical connec-
tor access cover. Once secure, use enclosed screw (Item #9 in the Accessories List) to
close the access door.
3.
All Covers must be in place to operate unit.
Item #9
SHOCK HAZARD exists without electrical access cover.
Cover cannot be installed without compleꢀng steps 8.1 through 8.3 properly.
STEP 9 – Locate the condensate drain.
The connecting line has a built in condensate line hose that removes the moisture collected from the indoor module.
The hose must be located in an appropriate location for drainage. Because the hose relies on gravity to drain, it is
important that the hose only points downward for the entire length of the hose.
If the connecting line is rolled to store the excess line as shown in Step 6, the drain line may be removed from the
connecting line as shown below and cut to an appropriate
length.
SCORE AND PEEL
STEP 10 – Final Preparation.
Using the supplied connecting line clips (Item #13 in the
Accessories List), secure the connecting line to the interior and
exterior walls as desired. 5 retaining clips are provided from the
factory along with standard #8 x 1 1/2” screws and wall anchors.
For installations with the connecting line going through the
wall (option 1) use the supplied filler gasket (Item #6 in the
Accessories List) to plug the hole around the connecting line in
the wall opening. Additional sealing may be desired or necessary
for proper weatherproofing.
Once the connecting line is secure and Steps 1-9 are complete,
you may plug in the Breeze system and enjoy your new air
conditioner.
