3. Fix the installation plate to the Installation plate

walt with eight A type screws. O @ @

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

Drilling the Hole

Wall

1. Determine the position of the IIndoor unit [ Outdoor unit] hole for the pipes using the

installation plate and drill the pipe hole so that it is tilted slightly

downward.

Fastening the Indoor Unit 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 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

Attention

1. 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.

Outdoor unit installation

1. Install the outdoor part of the unit on a rigid surface to avoid excess

noise and vibration.

2. Direct the air vent toward an area without obstacles.

3. Install the unit at the site where it is exposed to as little wind as possible,

especially in areas where it is frequently windy.

4. If the installation site is exposed to

heavy winds, such as in coastal areas, place the unit along the widest part of the wall or use

protective plates.

5. If suspended installation is needed, purchase kit No.EAt40S from your

local or servicer. The installation bracket should accord with technique

requirement in the installation bracket diagram. The installation

wall should be solid brick, concrete or the same intensity construction, or action to reinforce, damping supporting should be taken.

The connection between bracket and wall, bracket and the air

conditioner should be firm, stable and reliable.

6. Be sure there is no obstacle which blocks radiating air, including

schrubs or bushes.
