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(3.9in). The front of the unit should have more than 70cm(27.6in) of space.
3. Do not place animals and plants in the path of the warm air.
4. Take the air conditioner weight into account and select a place where noise and vibration are minimum.
5. Select a place so that the warm air and noise from the air conditioner do not disturb neigh­bors.
Rooftop Installations
If the outdoor unit is installed on a roof structure, be sure to level the unit. Ensure the roof structure and anchoring method are adequate for the unit location. Consult local codes regarding rooftop mounting.
If the outdoor unit is installed on roof structures or walls, this may result in excessive noise and vibra­tion, and may be also classed as non serviceable installation.
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 space around the left and right of the unit is more than 30cm(11.8in). The unit should be installed as high on the wall as possi­ble, allowing a minimum of 12cm(4.7in) from ceiling.
6. Use a stud finder to locate studs to prevent unnecessary damage to the wall.
Select The Best Location
Install the indoor unit on the wall where the height from the floors more than 2.3meters(7.6ft). A minimum pipe run of 7.5meters(24.6ft) is required to minimize vibration and excessive noise.

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.
How To Mount Installation Plate

Flaring Work
Cut 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(59.1in) longer than the pipe length.
Burrs removal
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
Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as shown below.
Main cause for gas leakage is due to defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the follow­ing procedure.

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 only the plastic tubing holder 1, not the holder 2 in the original position.
Route the indoor tubing and the drain hose in the direction of rear left.
Insert the connecting cable into the indoor unit from the outdoor unit through the piping hole.
Do not connect the cable to the indoor unit.
Make a small loop with the cable for easy con-
nection later.
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 upper side can cause drain pan to overflow inside the unit.
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 recom-
mended.
Indoor unit installation
Hook the indoor unit onto the upper portion of
the installation plate.(Engage the three hooks of the rear top and rear lower of the indoor unit with the upper edge and lower edge of the installation plate.) Ensure that the hooks are properly seated on the installation plate by moving it left and right.
