Connective pipe and drainage installation

Connective pipe

1. For the left-hand and right-hand piping, remove the pipe cover from

the side panel. The pipe cover

must be kept as it may be used

when relocating the air conditioner

to any other place.

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.

Drainage

1. Runthe drain hose sloping downward. Do not install the drain

hose as illustrated sideward.

When connecting extension drain

hose, insulate the connecting part

of extension drain hose with a shield pipe, do not let the drain

hose slack.

indoor unit from side to side to see

that it is securely hooked.

Lower hook

3. Piping can easily be made by lifting the indoor unit with a

cushioning material between the indoor unit and the wall. Get it

out after finish piping.

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.

Cushioning material

Piping and wrapping

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

in the sideward figure.

2. Because the condensed water from rear of the indoor unit is

gathered in ponding box and is

piped out of room, do not put

Attention

]. Connect the indoor unit first, then the outdoor unit.

2. Do not allow the piping to let out from the back of the indoor unit.

3. Be careful not to let the drain hose slack.

4. Both of the auxiliary piping should be heat insulation.

5. Be sure that the drain hose is located at the lowest side of the bundle. Locating at the upper side may cause drain pan to overflow inside the unit.

6. Never intercross nor intertwist the power wire with any other wiring.

7. Run the drain hose sloped downward to drain out the condensed water smoothly.
