CHOOSING THE POSITION OF THE UNIT
The position for installing the unit, to obtain best performance and avoid breakdowns or hazards, must have the following requisites
(fig. 2):
- The height of the unit's lower edge from the floor should be at least 100 mm if fixed to the wall in the lowest position.
- If fixed to the wall in the highest position, it should be at least 80 mm from the ceiling.
- The wall on which the inside unit is installed must be sturdy and able to withstand its weight.
- It must be possible to leave room around the unit for any maintenance operations that may be necessary.
- Nothing should be in the way of the air that needs to circulate both on the top air-intake (curtains, plants, furniture) and at the front
where the air exits. This could cause air swirls that would inhibit the working efficiency of the unit.
The air conditioner must be installed on a wall that communicates with the outside.
CAUTION
: after determining the best place for installation as described above, check for the absence of other structures
or systems (beams, piers, pipes, wires, etc.) at the points where the holes are to be drilled, which would prevent drilling
the holes required to install the unit.
Check again to make sure there are no obstacles to air circulation through the holes to be drilled due to plants and their
leaves, slats or panelling, blinds, gratings or grids too dense, etc.).
WARNINGS :
- it should not be placed under curtains;
- it should not be installed in a position where the air flow can directly strike people in the whereabouts.
Warning
The maximum length allowed for pipes is 1 m. The pipes must be smooth on the inside, and with a diameter of 202 mm. Pipes cannot
be curved or bent.
It is necessary to use the grilles provided, or grilles which keep the same features.
Drilling the wall
Install the unit by drilling two holes (diameter of either 162 mm or 202 mm) in the wall as indicated in the drilling template. The 202-
mm holes will ensure best performance and utmost noiselessness.
To drill the holes, proceed as follows:
Fasten the drilling template to the wall leaving the necessary space from the ceiling, floor and side walls as shown on the template
that may be fixed using adhesive tape.
Use a small drill or punch to mark, with extreme care, the exact centre of each of the holes to be drilled.
Using a core boring head measuring at least 162 mm to drill the two holes for entry and exit of the air.
WARNING:
drill the foregoing holes tilted slightly downwards to prevent water from being fed back through the ducts (fig. 3).
Most of the removed material is expelled outwards, therefore make sure that it does not hit any person or object when it falls out.
In order to avoid as much as possible outer plaster breaking, it is necessary to proceed carefully with the last part of hole execution,
decreasing pressure on core borers.
Next, drill the holes for anchoring the fastening brackets to the wall using as a first option the 4 holes on the ends of the bracket
as shown on the drilling template.
If the wall is not very solid, it is advisable to use some extra anchor bolts.
As you can see, the bracket can be fastened in a number of different ways and positions. The air conditioner is heavier on the
left-hand side, so it is best to make sure of a solid anchorage on that side. The anchor bolts provided require holes with a diameter
of 10 mm.
In any case, the wall should be inspected carefully to determine the best possible anchorage and type of bolts suitable for particular
situations.
WARNING:
the manufacturer will not be held liable for any underestimates made in the structural consistency of the anchor prepared
by the installer.
Therefore, pay utmost attention to the foregoing operation that could cause serious injury/damage to people/property if carried
out incorrectly.
