If the bottom of the indoor unit cannot be pushed due to 
the member such as horizontal rail above the head jamb, 
remove the front cover and insert a screwdriver into the 
hole for removal of indoor unit. Then,      push the claws 
upwards while holding down the upper part of the hole and                                               
     pull the indoor unit towards you. When horizontal piping 
is used, be careful not to damage the pipe and F cable 
with the tip of the screwdriver during this operation.
Please refer to page 16 on how to remove the front cover.
If the pipe support is installed on the left side viewing from 
the front of the indoor unit, remove the lower side of the 
pipe support.

• Please mount the outdoor unit on stable ground to 

prevent vibration and increase of noise level.

• Decide the location for piping after sorting out the 

different types of pipe available.

• Open the side plate by unscrewing the screws as 

shown on the right side.

• Use a pipe cutter to cut the copper pipe.

• Before flaring, please put on the flare nut.
• Please use exclusive tool.

Please remove side cover 
when connecting the piping 
and connecting cord.

 

CAUTION

Please make sure to remove all spacers inside the 
unit. 
• Open the Top, Back and Side cover of the unit. 
• Pull out the spacers inside.
(Spacers are only for transportation purpose.) If  not 
remove, vibration and noise will occur. 

 

CAUTION

Jagged edge will cause leakage.
Point the side to be trimmed downwards during 
trimming to prevent copper chips from entering the 
pipe.

 

CAUTION

• In case of removing flare nut of an indoor unit, first remove a nut of small diameter side, or a seal cap of big 

diameter side will fly out. Prevent water from entering into the piping when working.

• Please be careful when bending the copper pipe.
• Screw in manually while adjusting the centre. After that, use a torque wrench to tighten the connection.

Insert the pipe through the wall hole.
The upper part of the Indoor unit is hung on the hanger.
The projection at the lower part of the Indoor unit is 
hooked onto the hanger.
After the refrigerating pipe is connected, cover the pipe 
connection with the auxiliary insulation sheet, which has 
been removed on earlier stage, with its split line on the top. 
Wrap the tape without any space.

Wrap the pipe connection with tape so that there is no 
gap between heat insulation sheet.
Insert the drain hose and fresh air in exhaust hose into 
the wall hole. Especially in case of horizontally backward 
piping, insert the hose following the explanation below.
Connect the connecting cord. (Refer to “Connection of 
Power Cord” on Page 12)
Form connecting cord and refrigerating pipe and put them 
in the space on the lower side of the rear surface of the 
indoor unit. Fix them with the pipe support.
Remove the temporary stand under the indoor unit and fit 
the lower part of the indoor unit in the fixing tab on the 
mounting plate.

Do not over tighten vinyl tape on pipe heat 
insulation sheet. Do not over tighten to avoid loss 
of heat insulating effect and dew condensation.
Pull the lower part of the indoor unit towards 
you and confirm that the tab of the indoor 
unit is fit in the installation plate. If the tab is 
not fitted in securely, vibration of the indoor 
unit becomes larger.

Make sure that there is no problem as 
shown below.

Such problems may cause clogged drain 
and could result in water leakage.

Drain hose must be at a slope of at 
least 1/25.
When inserting the drain hose into the 
drain pipe for embedded piping, etc., 
do not cut the drain hose in the middle. 

This may lead to poorer heat insulating 
performance of the drain hose and could 
result in water leakage.

The naked part of the wire core should be 10mm and fix it to the 
terminal tightly. Then try to pull the individual wire to check if the 
contact is tight. Improper insertion may burn the terminal.
Be sure to use only power cables approved from the authorities 
in your country.
Please refer to the installation manual for wire connection to the 
terminals of the units. The cabling must meet the standards of 
electrical installation.
There is an AC voltage of 220-240V between the L and N 
terminals. Therefore, before servicing, be sure to remove the 
plug from the AC outlet or switch off the main switch.
Do not make any conection in the middle of the connecting 
cable. It may cause the wire overheating, emit smoke and fire.

WARNING

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

completely tighten the “Lo” shuttle and switch off 
the vacuum pump.

Completely unscrew the spindle of the service 
valve (at 2 places) in anti-clockwise direction to 
allow the flow of coolant (using Hexagonal 
Wrench key).

Remove the Charge hose and tighten the cap of 
valve head. The task is then completed.

Please use gas leakage detector to check if leakage 
occurs at the connection of Flare nut as shown on the 
right.

If gas leakage occurs, further tighten the connection to 
stop leakage.
