GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
The indoor unit can fall from the wall if it is not properly installed and secured to the installation plate. Falling indoor units can cause bodily injury or
death.
• To avoid a gap between the indoor unit and the wall, ensure the screws are correctly and fully secured to the installation plate.
• To prevent condensate from forming due to an inflow of outdoor air, before indoor unit installation is finished, completely seal the piping access
hole in the wall.
6. Finish the installation by completely securing the indoor unit to the installation plate using the factory-supplied two Type “C” screws at the
locations indicated at right.
Mounting the Indoor Unit to the Installation Plate
1. Position the indoor unit onto the upper portion of the installation
plate.
2. Engage the hooks at the top of the indoor unit with the upper
edge of the installation plate (number of hooks depends on model
type).
3. Ensure the hooks are properly seated on the installation plate by
shaking the indoor unit left and right.
Permanently secure the indoor unit to the wall ONLY AFTER all other
tasks such as Refrigerant Piping Connections, Drain Piping Connec
-
tions, Electrical Connections, and Final Installation Procedures are
complete. See next page for steps on how to prepare for piping and
electrical connections.
4. Carefully guide the refrigerant piping and drain piping through the
access hole.
5. Push the bottom of indoor unit towards the installation plate to
anchor to the wall.
• Press the lower left and right sides of the unit against the instal-
lation plate until the hooks engage into their slots.
• A clicking sound will be heard as the bottom of the indoor unit
attaches to the installation plate successfully.
• Pay attention to the positioning of the piping through the wall.
