This manual provides the installation
procedures so your air conditioner unit
operates properly and provides you the service
it was designed to provide.
Special adjustment may be necessary to suit
local requirements. Before using your air
conditioner, please read this instruction manual
carefully and keep it for future reference.
Safety Precautions
Before installing the air conditioner unit, please
read the following safety precautions carefully.
WARNING
• The installer must determine and follow all
applicable codes and regulations. This
equipment presents hazard of electricity, rotating
parts, sharp edges, heat and weight. Failure to
read and follow these instructions can result in
property, severe personal energy or death. This
equipment must be installed by experienced,
trained personnel only.
• Improper installation can cause equipment
damage, service personnel injury or death.
• Do not allo w flammable fumes near unit or areas
sharing ventilation.
• Installation and maintenance must be performed
by qualified persons who are familiar with local
code and regulations, and experienced with this
type of appliance.
• All field wiring must be done in accordance with
industry standards and local codes.
• Inspect the unit nameplate to be certain the
voltage is the same as the voltage that will be
delivered to the unit. Improper electrical wiring
can cause property damage, severe personal
energy or death.
• The unit must be GROUNDED.
• Make sure wiring does not touch refrigerant
piping, compressor, or any moving parts of the
fan motors.
• Confirm that the power supply is switched OFF
before installing or servicing the unit.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electrical power including remote
disconnects before servicing. Failure to disconnect
power before servicing can cause severe personal
CAUTION
Use copper conductors only. Unit terminals are not
designed to accept other types of conductors. Failure
to do so may cause damage to the equipment.
CAUTION
•
Do no install in a laundry room. Humidity and laundry
chemicals can corrode unit components.
• Do not install the unit where leakage of flammable
gas may occur. If gas leaks and accumulates ar ound
the unit, it may cause a fire.
• Connect drainage piping properly. If drainage piping
is not connected properly, water leakage can cause
property damage.
• Do not overcharge the unit. This unit is factor y precharged. Overcharge will cause over-current or
damage to the compressor.
• Keep panel closed. Unsecured panels will cause the
unit to operate noisily.
NOTICE
This product was carefully packed and thoroughly
inspected before leaving the factory. Responsibility for
its safe delivery was assumed by the carrier upon
acceptance of the shipment. Claims for loss or damage
sustained in transit must therefore be made upon the
carrier, as follow:
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE
Any external evidence of loss or damage must be
noted on the freight bill or carrier’s receipt, and signed
by the carrier’s agent. Failure to adequately describe
such external evidence of loss or damage may r esult i n
the carrier’s refusing to honor a damaged claim. The
form required to file such a claim will be supplied by the
carrier.
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
Concealed loss or damage means loss or damage
which does not become apparent until the product has
been unpacked. The contents may be damaged in
transit due to rough handling even though the carton
may not show external damages. When the damage is
discovered upon unpacking, make a written request fo r
inspection by the carrier’s agent within fifteen (15) days
of the delivery date. File a claim with the carrier since
such damage is the carrier’s responsibility.

Installation Guidelines
Installation Diagram
Condensate Disposal of Outdoor
Unit (Heat Pump Unit Only)
• There are 2 holes on the base of outdoor unit
for condensed water to flow out. Insert the
drain elbow to one of the holes.
• To install the drain elbow, first insert one
portion of the hook to the base (portion A), then
pull the drain elbow in the direction shown by
the arrow while inserting the other portion to
the base. After installation, check to ensure that
the drain elbow clings to base firmly.
• If the unit is installed where the condensate
may freeze in the base, remove plug at the
bottom of unit for better drainage
• See Figure 2.

(Heat Pump Unit Only)
Installation of the Indoor Unit
Indoor Unit Clearance
The indoor unit must be installed in a manner
to prevent mixing the discharged air with the
return air. Please follow the installation
clearances shown in Figure 3. Do not place the
indoor unit in direct sunlight. The location must
be suitable for piping and drainage, and be
away from doors or windows.
Figure 3. Indoor Unit Minimum Clearances
Installation of Outdoor Unit
Outdoor Unit Clearances
Install the outdoor unit in a manner to prevent mixing hot
discharged air with return air flow. Also the unit should be a
suitable distance from obstructions See Figure 1 for installation
clearances. Double the dimensions shown if surroundings are
more than 72” tall, or if there is an obstruction on top. Select the
coolest possible place where intake air temperature is not greater
than the outside air temperature (maximum 113ºF).

Piping
The refrigerant piping can enter the indoor unit at several
different locations. Use the knock outs provided in the room
cabinet. See Figure 4.
Figure 4. Indoor Unit
Bend the pipes carefully to prevent kinks and r estrictions.
It’s best to use a tube bender. The condensation drain hose
can be taped to the pipes. See Figure 5.
Figure 5. Rear View of Indoor Unit
Mounting Plate Installation
The mounting plate ships attached to the back of the
indoor unit. To detach for mounting on wall, remove
plastic rivet from bottom (pry loose with a knife blade)
and unhook.
The wall must be strong enough to suppor t the weight
of the unit. If necessary, reinforce the wall. Drill holes in
plate to align with wall studs and attach with four (4)
screws.
If the refrigerant piping is going thru the wall behind the
indoor unit, provide a 2-1/2” hole that is slightly pitched
to the outside. See Figure 6. Hole must be located in
alignment with the arrows on the mounting plate . See
Figure 7.

Installing Unit on Mounting Plate
Hook the indoor unit onto the upper portion of th e mounting
plate (engage the two hooks at the rear top of the indoor
unit with the upper edge of the plate). Properly seat the
hooks and replace the plastic rivet at the bottom.
Figure 8. Installing Unit on Mounting Plate
Drain Hose Installation
The condensate drain hose (20” long) come factory
attached to the indoor unit. It is gravity flow. Avoid
situations that could restrict drainage. See Figure 9.
