piping.

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

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

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

Attention

1. Pass the piping through the hole in
the wall.

2. Put the upper claw at the back of
the indoor unit on the upper hook of
the installation plate, move the
indoor unit from side to side to see
that it is securely hooked.

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
