AIR CONDITIONER INSTALLATION

4

When installing air conditioner at glass window or thin partition, 

fix the vertical and side supporting bar to the concrete wall in order to 

support the weight of the air-conditioner and reduce the vibration that

is being transferred to the glass window or thin partition.

This can minimize the noise problem caused by improper installation. 

Proposed to use 1/8” x 1-1/4” “angle-aluminium for

installation frame and side supporting bar.

This air conditioner employs a “Slinger-Up System” which is designed to splash the condensed water on the condenser coil 

for maximum cooling efficiency, thus producing a splashing sound. If the splashing sound annoys you, you can provide an 

outside drainage by using the following the procedure which may, cause a small loss of performance.

NOTE: If the unit is installed at a coastal area, drainage of condensed water is recommended to prevent easy condenser corrosion.

R32

Otherwise water will leak out.

In cases that require mechanical ventilation, ventilation openings shall be kept clear of obstruction.

Ventilate any enclosed areas when installing or testing the refrigeration system. 

Escaped refrigerant gas, on contact with fire or heat, can produce dangerously toxic gas.

Confirm after installation that no refrigerant gas is leaking. If the gas comes in contact with a burning

stove, gas water heater, electric room heater or other heat source, it can cause the generation of toxic gas.
