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 BR0412W1A plugs into a 115V 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 of items like shrubbery, solid fencing or other air conditioning equipment that can
impede airow to the module.
The outdoor module must be at least 12” from the wall
for proper airow. 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.

CAUTION
SHOCK HAZARD - DO NOT PLUG-IN indoor unit until all installation work is completed! Connect to a single dedicated circuit sized for the load. DO NOT kink or bend refrigeration line-set less than 3” radius – A radius bend template is provided. Line-set is under high pressure – DO NOT Puncture line-set. DO NOT Heat line-set. Always follow all local and national codes when installing equipment. Obtain the help of trained, skilled worker where necessary.
STEP 1
Next, 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.
DO NOT PLUG IN INDOOR UNIT until you have completed the entire installation process.
Page 4
Now that you have determined where the modules will be placed it is time to install the Breeze air conditioning system.
STEP 2 – Hang wall mount bracket
Using the paper template as a guide locate two studs behind screw hole locations in the template. It is preferrable to mount the hangaing plate on studs. If two studs are not available, utilize anchors appropriate for the wall type with a combined weight capacity of at least 60 lbs. Standard wood screws and drywall anchors are provided. If you are installing the system by drilling a 3” hole
through the wall (Option 1), mark the location of the 3”
hole centerline on the wall as well.
STEP 3 – Drill hole (Option 1) or mount SimpleSill™ (Option 2).
Always follow all local and national codes when in­stalling equipment. Obtain the help of trained, skilled worker where necessary.
Option 1: Drill hole-through the Wall Installation
Drill 3” hole through the exterior wall. NOTE: This should only be done by qualied install­ers. Consult local and national codes before drilling any holes. Mark the hole location on the indoor wall using the template. (If locating unit above a window or door,
making sure the hole is above structural header)
Using a stud nder, scan area around desired hole loca-
tion for pipes, ducts, electrical conductors and struc­tural elements. Relocate indoor unit mounting location as necessary to avoid interference.
Using a 3” hole saw, drill hole through wall from inside toward outside. When center spiral drill penetrates out­side wall, stop drilling. DO NOT drill the entire 3” from the inside to prevent exterior wall damage. (TIP: tape a bag to the wall directly below hole location to catch drill
debris and dust or use a shop vacuum while drilling)
Complete 3” hole from outside of the home by locating center spiral drill bit penetration. Using the 3” hole saw
nish drilling through the wall from the outside of the
home.
NOTE: Wall mount bracket ships mounted to the back of the indoor unit with a single Phillips head screw. Remove screw to release the bracket for installation

Option 2: Window Installation Using Friedrich SimpleSill™
A. B. C.
A. With the window raised, place one end of the SimpleSill™ into the window opening so it is against the corner of the window frame and sill. Raise the other side of the SimpleSill™ 4” above the window sill. Expand the SimpleSill™ the width of the window and install the securing pin as shown. Next, press the raised side down until the SimpleSill™ is lodged securely into position. The SimpleSill™ end gaskets will conform to the window track shape.
B. Remove the pass through cover securing pins and cover.
C. Reference Step 4.2 and pass the connecting line out the window and insert it into the connecting line form in the SimpleSill™.
D. Replace the pass through cover and securing pins

STEP 4 Line set installation
4.1 Option 1 (3” hole pass through)
Completely uncoil the line set as straight as possible. Starting with the quick connect end of the line set, pass the entire length through the 3” hole.
4.2 Option 2 (SimpleSill window installation)
Uncoil enough of the line set to completely pass through the SimpleSill. Pre bend the line set using the enclosed template to match the desired shape as it passes through the SimpleSill. Place remaining coiled line set outside the window for later con­nection to the Outdoor unit.
STEP 5 Hang the indoor module on the wall bracket.
Hang the module at the top rst and rotate it down until the module
is level with the wall. (You may need to make adjustments to the con-
necting line to get the indoor module to mount cleanly) The Breeze module is not designed to mount totally ush to the wall. A space of
1/8” to 3/8” may be present between the module and the wall.
STEP 6 Place the mounting pad.
Position the mounting pad so that the mounting holes are away from the house. Set the outdoor module on the mounting pad so that the module feet align with the mounting holes. Screw the outdoor mod­ule to the mounting pad with the 4 lag bolts provided.

connector on outdoor unit half way and release outer lock collar.
4. Continue to push line-set connector onto base connector until outer lock color engages base connector. The outer lock collar will snap into position with base connector and a click will be heard.
5. Grasp lock handle and rotate to its closed position.
6. Install security screw to prevent tam­pering with line-set connector mecha­nism.
STEP 8 – Connect the electrical connector from the connecting line to outdoor module
1. Remove the electrical cord retention bracket by unscrewing the two screws shown. Retain the bracket and screws.
2. Connect the black colored electrical connector from the con­necting line into the mating connector on the outdoor module. The connectors will snap into place with a click. (The plug can be removed by pushing in the side tabs on the plug and pulling
the plug body down and out of the receptacle.)
3. Re-install the electrical cord retention bracket using two screws removed previously. The opening in the electrical cord
retention bracket should t over the cord. Do not pinch the
cord in the bracket.
4. Install the plastic cover as shown. There are two screws on the outer ange of the cover and one screw under the electri-
cal connector access cover.
All Covers must be in place to operate unit.

properly.
STEP 9 – Locate the condensate drain.
The connecting line has a built in condensate line hose that removes the moisture collected from the indoor module. The hose must be located in an appropriate location for drainage. Because the hose relies on gravity to drain, it is important that the hose only points downward for the entire length of the hose.
If the connecting line is rolled to store the excess line as in Step 6, the drain line may be removed from the connecting line as shown below and cut to an appropriate length.

STEP 10 – Final Preparation.
Using the supplied connecting line clips, secure the connecting line to the interior and exterior walls as desired. 5 retaining clips are provided from the factory. Once the connecting line is secure and Steps 1-8 are complete, you may plug in the Breeze system and enjoy your new air conditioner.
For installations with the connecting line going through the wall (option 1) use the supplied ller gasket to plug
the hole around the connecting line in the wall opening. Additional sealing may be desired or necessary for proper
weatherproong.
