SAFETY PRECAUTION
●
Read the safety precautions carefully before operating the unit.
●
The contents of this section are vital to ensure safety. Please pay special attention to the following sign.
WARNING ........ Incorrect methods of installation may cause death or serious injury.
CAUTION ......... Improper installation may result in serious consequence.
Be sure that the unit operates in proper condition after installation. Explain to customer the proper way of operating
the unit as described in the user’s guide.

WARNING
!
CAUTION
!
●
A circuit breaker should be installed depending on the mounting size of the unit. Without a circuit breaker, the
danger of electric shock exists.
●
Do not install the unit near a location where there is flammable gas. The condensing unit may
catch fire if flammable gas leaks around it.
●
Please ensure smooth flow of water when installing the drain hose.
●
Please request your sales agent or qualified technician to install your unit. Water leakage, short circuit or fire may
occur if you do the installation work yourself.
●
Please observe the instructions stated in the installation manual during the process of installation. Improper
installation may cause water leakage, electric shock and fire.
●
Make sure that the units are mounted at locations which are able to provide full support to the weight of the units.
If not, the units may collapse and impose danger.
●
Observe the rules and regulations of the electrical installation and the methods described in the installation manual
when dealing with the electrical work. Use wire which is specified for the air conditioner. A short circuit and fire
may occur due to the use of low quality wire or improper work.
●
Be sure to use the specified wire for connecting the indoor and outdoor units. Please ensure that the connections
are tight after the conductors of the wire are inserted into the terminals. Improper insertion and loose contact may
cause over-heating and fire.
●
Please use the specified components for installation work. Otherwise, the units may collapse or water leakage,
electric shock and fire may occur.
●
Do not mix any coolant other than R-22 into the cooling circulation path when mounting or shifting the unit. If it
is mixed with air, the high pressure in the circulation path will rise and this may result in broken copper pipes or
faults.
THE CHOICE OF MOUNTING SITE
(Please note the following matters and obtain permission from customer before installation).
WARNING
!
●
The unit should be mounted at stable, non-vibratory location which
can provide full support to the unit.
WARNING
!
●
The outdoor unit must be mounted at a location which can sup-
port heavy weight. Otherwise, noise and vibration will increase.
CAUTION
!
●
No nearby heat source and no obstruction near the air outlet is
allowed.
●
The clearance distances from top, right and left are specified in
figure below.
●
The location must be convenient for water drainage and pipe
connection with the outdoor unit.
●
To avoid interference from noise please place the unit and its
remote controller at least 1m from the radio, television and inverter
type fluorescent lamp.
●
To avoid any error in signal transmission from the remote controller,
please put the controller far away from high-frequency machines
and high-power wireless systems.
●
The installation height of indoor unit must be 2.3m or more in a
non public area.
CAUTION
!
●
Do not expose the unit under direct sunshine or rain. Besides,
ventilation must be good and clear of obstruction.
●
The air blown out of the unit should not point directly to animals
or plants.
●
The clearances of the unit from top, left, right and front are specified
in figure below. At least three of the above sides must be open
air.
●
Be sure that the hot air blown out of the unit and noise do not
disturb the neighbourhood.
●
Do not install at a location where there is flammable gas, steam,
oil and smoke.
●
The location must be convenient for water drainage.
●
Place the outdoor unit and its connection wire at least 1m away
from the antenna or signal line of television, radio or telephone.
This is to avoid noise interference.
●
Do not install outdoor unit facing strong wind direction. It may
damage the fan motor.

CAUTION
!
●
The draining of the water container inside the indoor unit can be done from the left.
Therefore the hanger must be fixed horizontally or slightly tilted towards the side of
drain hose. Otherwise, condensed water may overflow the water container.
Direct Mounting On The Wall
●
Please use hidden beams in the wall to hold the hanger.
Wall Penetration and Installation of Protection Pipe
●
Drill a ø 65mm hole on wall
which is slightly tilted
towards the outdoor side.
Drill the wall at a small angle.
●
Cut the protection pipe
according to the wall
thickness.
●
Empty gap in the sleeve of
protection pipe should be
completely sealed with putty
to avoid dripping of rain
water into the room.
Procedures of Installation and Precautions
●
Procedures to fix the hanger.
1. Drill holes on wall.
2. Push plug into the holes.
3. Fix the hanger on wall

VERTICALLY DOWNWARD PIPING
Preparation
●
Connect connecting cord.
●
Pull out the pipe, connecting cord and drain
hose.
Installation
●
The upper part of the indoor unit is hanged
on the hanger.
●
The projection at the lower part of the
indoor unit is hooked onto the hanger.
Please pull the lower part
of the indoor unit
outwards to check if the
unit is hooked onto the
hanger. Improper
installation may cause
vibration and noise.

CAUTION
HORIZONTAL PIPING
Preparation
Change of Drain Hose and Installation Procedures.
●
Exchange the location of drain hose and drain cap during horizontal piping as shown
in figure below. Be sure to plug in the drain hose until the insulating material folds upon
itself.
●
Please use pliers to pull out the drain cap.
(This is an easier way to remove the drain cap).

HORIZONTAL & DOWNWARD PIPING – MAKING OPENINGS
●
During horizontal or downward piping, use a knife to cut openings as
shown in figure. Then smoothen the edges of openings with a file.
INSTALLATION OF REFRIGERATING PIPES AFTER CONNECTION
●
The refrigerating pipes should be adjusted to fit
into the hole on the wall and then ready for further
connection.
●
The terminals of 2 connected pipes must be covered
with insulator used for terminal connection. Then
the pipes are wrapped with insulation pipe.
●
Connect the connecting cord.
●
After adjustment, fit the connecting cord and pipes
into the space available under the indoor unit.
!
CAUTION
●
The rubber strap used for
fixing the insulator should
not be tied with great force.
Otherwise, this will damage
heat insulation and causes
water condensation.

CAUTION
!
You are free to choose the side (left or right) for the installation of drain
hose. Please ensure the smooth flow of condensed water of the indoor
unit during installation. (Carelessness may result in water leakage.)
!
CAUTION
Be sure that the
drain hose is not
loosely connected
or bent.
Be sure that the wire is not
in contact with any metal
in the wall. Please use the
protection pipe as wire
passing through the hollow
part of the wall so as to
prevent the possibility of
damaged by mouse.
!
CAUTION
●
Refrigerating pipes and connecting cord must be
tied together.
●
The front part of the refrigerating pipes are
at locations marked with “
” symbol.
