Select the best Location
Indoor unit
1. Do not have any heat or steam near the unit.
2. Select a place where there are no obstacles in front of the unit.
3. Make sure that condensation drainage can be conveniently routed away.
4. Do not install near a doorway.
5. Ensure that the interval between a wall and the left (or right) of
the unit is more than 5cm(1.96"). The unit should be installed as
high as possible on the wall, allowing a minimum of 10cm(3.9")
from ceiling.
6. Use a stud finder to locate studs to prevent unnecessary damage to the wall.
CAUTION: Install the indoor unit on the wall where the height from the floor is
more than 2 meters (6.6ft).
Installation
Outdoor unit
1. If an awning is built over the unit to prevent direct sunlight or
rain exposure, make sure that heat radiation from the condenser is not restricted.
2. Ensure that the space around the back and sides is more
than 10cm(3.9"). The front of the unit should have more than
70cm(28") of space.
3. Do not place animals and plants in the path of the warm air.
4. Take the weight of the air conditioner into account and select
a place where noise and vibration are minimum.
5. Select a place where the warm air and noise from the air
conditioner do not disturb neighbors.

Fixing Installation Plate
The wall you select should be strong and solid
enough to prevent vibration
1. Mount the installation plate on the wall with
type "A" screws. If mounting the unit on a concrete
wall, use anchor bolts.
• Mount the installation plate horizontally by aligning
the centerline using a level.
2. Measure the wall and mark the centerline. It is also
important to use caution concerning the location of
the installation plate-routing of the wiring to power
outlets is through the walls typically. Drilling the
hole through the wall for piping connections must
be done safely.

Flaring Work
Main cause for gas leakage is due to defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following procedure.
Cutting the pipes and the cable.
1. Use the piping kit accessory or the pipes purchased
locally.
2. Measure the distance between the indoor and the outdoor unit.
3. Cut the pipes a little longer than measured distance.
4. Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe length.
Removing burrs
1. Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross section of
pipe/tube.
2. Put the end of the copper tube/pipe in a downward direction as you remove burrs in order to avoid dropping burrs
into the tubing.
Putting nut on
• Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and outdoor unit,
then put them on pipe/tube having completed burr
removal.
(not possible to put them on after flaring work)
Flaring work
1. Firmly hold copper pipe in a die in the dimension shown
in the table below.

1. Compare the flared work with the figure by.
2. If a flared section is defective, cut it off and do flaring
work again.
Connecting the Piping
Indoor
1. Prepare the indoor unit's piping and drain hose for installation through the wall.
2. Remove the plastic tubing retainer(see the illustration
by) and pull the tubing and drain hose away from
chassis.
3. Replace the plastic tubing holder in the original posi-
tion.(Optional)
For right rear piping
1. Route the indoor tubing and the drain hose in the
direction of rear right.
Insert the connecting cable into the indoor unit from the
2.
outdoor unit through the piping hole.
• Do not connect the cable to the indoor unit.
• Make a small loop with the cable for easy connec-
tion later.
3. Tape the tubing, drain hose, and the connecting
cable. Be sure that the drain hose is located at the
lowest side of the bundle. Locating at the uper side
can cause drain pan to overflow inside the unit.
CAUTION: If the drain hose is routed inside
the room, insulate the hose with an insulation
material* so that dripping from
"sweating"(condensation) will not damage furniture or floors.
*Foamed polyethylene or equivalent is recommended.

8. Finally, mount the holed cap with the
wound cable on the conduit panel.
WARNING:
Loose wiring may cause the terminal to overheat or result in unit malfunction. A fire hazard
may also exist. Therefore, be sure all wiring is
tightly connected.
When connecting each power wire to the corresponding terminal, follow instructions "How to connect wiring to the terminals" and fasten the wire
tightly with the fixing screw of the terminal plate.
How to connect wiring to the terminals
• For solid core wiring (or F-cable)
1. Cut the wire end with a wire cutter of wire-cut-
ting pliers, then strip the insulation to expose
the solid wire about 25mm(15/16")
2. Using a screwdriver, remove the terminal
screw(s) on the terminal plate.
3. Using pliers, bend the solid wire to from a loop
suitable for the terminal screw.
4. Shape the loop wire properly, place it on the ter-
minal plater and tighten securely with the terminal screw using a screwdriver.
• For strand wiring
1. Cut the wire end with a wire cutter or wire-cut-
ting pliers, then strip the insulation to expose
the strand wiring about 10mm(3/8").
2. Using a screwdriver, remove the terminal
screw(s) on the terminal plate.
3. Using a round terminal fastener or pliers,
securely clamp each stripped wire end with a
round terminal.
4. Position the round terminal wire, and replace
and tighten the terminal screw using a screwdriver.
