N OT E
Tubing can be extended in 6 directions as shown in Fig. 3-5.
Select the direction you need providing the shortest run to the
outside unit.
●
When left tubing is to be done, switch the drain hose and
drain cap. (For details, see the section “Switching drain hose
and drain cap” on page 12.)
3-2. Make a Hole
(1) Place the rear panel from the indoor unit on the wall at the
location selected. Make sure the panel is horizontal, using a
carpenter’s level or tape measure to measure down from the
ceiling. Wait until after cutting the hole before attaching the
rear panel to the wall.
(2) Determine which side of the unit you should make the hole for
tubing and wiring. (Fig. 3-6)
N OT E
In the case of left-rear tubing, use the measurement points
158 mm from the marked position on the rear panel for precise
placement of the hose outlet. (Fig. 3-6)
(3) Before making the hole, check carefully that no studs or pipes
are directly run behind the spot to be cut.
CAUTION
Also avoid areas where
electrical wiring or conduits
are located.
The above precautions are also applicable if tubing goes
through the wall in any other location.
