How to Attach Drain Pan (Optional)
The air conditioner employs a proper drain method whereby the condensed water (moisture removed from the
air) is drained to the outside.
In very humid weather, (and for reverse cycle models in the reverse mode) excessive condensate water removed
from the air may cause some water to collect. To remove this excess water you can install the drain pan as
detailed below.

How to Install the Unit
To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the unit
is installed securely and firmly.
Install the unit where the sunlight does not shine
directly on the unit.
The outside of the cabinet must extend outward for
at least 305mm and there should be no obstacles,
such as a fence or wall, within 508mm from the back
of the cabinet because it will prevent heat radiation of the
condenser.
Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce the
cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.
CAUTION: All side louvers of the cabinet must remain exposed to the outside of the
structure.
Install the unit a little slanted so the back is slightly lower than the front (about 12.7mm).
This will force condensed water to flow to the outside.
Install the unit with the bottom about 762mm ~ 1524mm above the floor level.
