Before getting started
Identify the locations where you will mount the indoor
module and place the outdoor module. Keep in mind,
there is 25’ of connection line for connecting indoor and
outdoor pieces, so locate them accordingly. You cannot
add additional length if they are too far apart.
Placing the indoor unit
It is recommended that you install the indoor module on
an exterior wall within 6 feet of a properly rated outlet
for the system you are installing. The BR1224W3A plugs
into a 230V 15A outlet. The system should be plugged
into a single circuit outlet only. Typically, hanging the
indoor module above or adjacent to a window will
provide a great location. NOTE: You should not drill
through the window header (part of the rough framing)
located directly above the window opening.
Placing the outdoor unit
The outdoor module should be placed on a level surface
with adequate clearance from items like shrubbery,
solid fencing or other air conditioning equipment that
can impede airow to the module.
The outdoor module must be at least 12” from the wall
for proper airow. The mounting pad provided with the
system will raise the module off of the ground 3”. The
fan should face away from the building.
NOTE:
Be sure to place your
equipment with these
limitations in mind.

STEP 1 - Determine how you will connect the indoor and outdoor modules.
There are two options available:
OPTION 1 is to drill a 3” hole through the wall to pass
the connecting line through.
OPTION 2 is to use the Friedrich SimpleSill™ kit to pass
the connecting pipe through the window. The SimpleSill™ is an optional accessory available where Breeze
is sold.
