Step 2: Attach mounting plate to wall
The mounting plate is the device on which you will mount the
indoor unit.
Remove the screw that attaches the mounting plate to the back
of the indoor unit.
Place the mounting plate against the wall in a location that
meets the standards in the Select Installation Location step.
(See Mounting Plate Dimensions for detailed information on
mounting plate sizes.)
Drill holes for mounting screws in places that:
• have studs and can support the weight of the unit
• correspond to screw holes in the mounting plate
Secure the mounting plate to the wall with the screws provided.
Make sure that mounting plate is flat against the wall.
Step 3: Drill wall hole for connective piping
You must drill a hole in the wall for refrigerant piping, the
drainage pipe, and the signal cable that will connect the indoor
and outdoor units.
Determine the location of the wall hole based on the position
of the mounting plate. Refer to Mounting Plate Dimensions on
the next page to help you determine the optimal position. The
wall hole should have a 65mm (2.5in) diameter at least, and at a
slightly lower angle to facilitate drainage.
Using a 65mm (2.5in) core drill, drill a hole in the wall. Make
sure that the hole is drilled at a slight downward angle, so that
the outdoor end of the hole is lower than the indoor end by
about 5mm to 7mm (0.2-0.275in). This will ensure proper water
drainage. (See Fig. 3.2 )
Place the protective wall cuff in the hole. This protects the edges
of the hole and will help seal it when you finish the installation
process.
NOTE
For concrete or brick walls
If the wall is made of brick, concrete, or similar material, drill 5mm-
diameter (0.2in-diameter) holes in the wall and insert the sleeve
anchors provided. Then secure the mounting plate to the wall by
tightening the screws directly into the clip anchors.
Refer to the following diagram to ensure proper distance from walls
and ceiling:

When drilling the wall hole, make sure to avoid wires, plumbing, and
other sensitive components.
