PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Before installing the indoor unit, refer to the
label on the product box to make sure that the
model number of the indoor unit matches the
model number of the outdoor unit.
Step 1: Select installation location
Before installing the indoor unit, you must
choose an appropriate location. The following
are standards that will help you choose an
appropriate location for the unit.
Proper installation locations meet the
following standards:
Good air circulation
Convenient drainage
Noise from the unit will not disturb other
people
Firm and solid—the location will not vibrate
Strong enough to support the weight of the
unit
A location at least one meter from all other
electrical devices (e.g., TV, radio, computer)
DO NOT install unit in the following
locations:
Near any source of heat, steam, or
combustible gas
Near flammable items such as curtains or
clothing
Near any obstacle that might block air
circulation
Near the doorway
In a location subject to direct sunlight
NOTE ABOUT WALL HOLE:
If there is no fixed refrigerant piping:
While choosing a location, be aware that you
should leave ample room for a wall hole (see
Drill wall hole for connective piping step)
for the signal cable and refrigerant piping

Step 3: Drill wall hole for connective piping
You must drill a hole in the wall for refrigerant
piping, the drainage pipe, and the signal cable
that will connect the indoor and outdoor units.
1. Determine the location of the wall hole based
on the position of the mounting plate. Refer
to
Mounting Plate Dimensions on the
next page to help you determine the optimal
position. The wall hole should have a 65mm
(2.5in) diameter at least, and at a slightly
lower angle to facilitate drainage.
2. Using a 2.5in (65-mm) core drill, drill a hole in
the wall. Make sure that the hole is drilled at
a slight downward angle, so that the outdoor
end of the hole is lower than the indoor end
by about 0.2-0.275in (5mm to 7mm). This will
ensure proper water drainage. (See Fig. 3.2)
3. Place the protective wall cu in the hole. This
protects the edges of the hole and will help
seal it when you nish the installation process.
CAUTION
When drilling the wall hole, make sure to
avoid wires, plumbing, and other sensitive
components.

which the piping will exit the unit.
knock-out panel in place. If the wall hole is to
the side of the indoor unit, remove the plastic
knock-out panel from that side of the unit.
(See Fig. 3.3). This will create a slot through
which your piping can exit the unit. Use
needle nose pliers if the plastic panel is too
dicult to remove by hand.
3. Use scissors to cut down the length of the
insulating sleeve to reveal about 15cm (6in)
of the refrigerant piping. This serves two
purposes:
• To facilitate the Refrigerant Piping
Connection process
• To facilitate Gas Leak Check s and enable
you to check for dents
4. If existing connective piping is already
embedded in the wall, proceed directly to
the Connect Drain Hose
step. If there is no
embedded piping, connect the indoor unit’s
refrigerant piping to the connective piping
that will join the indoor and outdoor units.
Refer to the Refrigerant Piping Connection
section of this manual for detailed instructions.
5. Based on the position of the wall hole
relative to the mounting plate, determine the
necessary angle of your piping.
6. Grip the refrigerant piping at the base of the
bend.
7. Slowly, with even pressure, bend the piping
towards the hole. Do not dent or damage the
piping during the process.
NOTE ON PIPING ANGLE
