Fixing the Installation Plate

1.Install the installation plate horizontally over the structural parts on the wall using the spaces indicated on the plate, as shown in the figures above.

2.In the case of tiled, concrete or similar walls, create 0.2" diameter holes. Place anchorage supports for the appropriate assembly screws.

3.Fix the installation plate to the wall with eight A type screws.

4.At all times securing to the wall studs is recommended.

Drilling the Hole

1.Determine the position of the hole for the pipes using the installation plate and drill the pipe hole so that it is tilted slightly downward.

2.Always use a pipe cover with an opening when drilling.

Attention

Fit the Installation Plate and drill holes in the wall according to the wall structure and corresponding mounting points on the installation plate (Dimensions are in “mm” unless otherwise stated).

2.For the rear-right-hand and rear-left- hand piping, install the piping as shown in the sideward figure. Bend the connective pipe to be laid at

a height of 1.69" or less from the wall. Fix the end of the connective pipe.

4.Push the lower part of the indoor unit up on the wall, Then move the indoor unit from side to side, up and down to check if it is hooked securely.

Piping and wrapping

1.Bundle the tubing, connecting cable, and drain hose with tape securely and evenly as shown in the sideward figure.
