CONDENSED WATER DISPOSAL OF OUTDOOR UNIT

 There are holes on the base of Outdoor unit for condensed

water to exhaust.

 In order to ﬂ ow condensed water to the drain, the unit is

installed on a stand or a block so that the unit is 100mm above the ground as shown ﬁ gure. Join the drain pipe to one hole.



At ﬁ rst insert one portion of the hook to the base (Portion A), then pull the drain pipe in the direction shown by the arrow while inserting the hook into the base. After installation, check whether the drain pipe cling to the base ﬁ rmly.

When Using and Installing In Cold Areas

When the air conditioner is used in low temperature and in snowy conditions, water from the heat exchanger may freeze on the base surface to cause poor drainage. When using the air conditioner in such areas, do not install the bushings. Keep a minimum of 250mm between the drain hole and the ground. When using the drain pipe, consult your sales agent.

For more details, refer to the installation Manual for Cold Areas.

WARNING ........ Incorrect methods of installation may cause death or serious injury.

CAUTION ......... Improper installation may result in serious consequence.

Make sure to connect earth wire. This sign in the ﬁ gures indicates prohibition.

● Be sure to tighten the ﬂ are nut to the speciﬁ ed torque using a torque wrench. If the ﬂ are nut is tightened excessively, it may

crack as time elapses, cause refrigerant leakage.
