PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Before installing the indoor unit, refer to the label on the product box to make sure that the model number of the indoor unit matches the model number of the outdoor unit.
Step 1: Select installation location
Before installing the indoor unit, you must choose an appropriate location. The following are standards that will help you choose an appropriate location for the unit.
Proper installation locations meet the following standards:
Good air circulation
Convenient drainage
Noise from the unit will not disturb other people
Firm and solid—the location will not vibrate
Strong enough to support the weight of the unit
A location at least one meter from all other electrical devices (e.g., TV, radio, computer)
DO NOT install unit in the following locations:
Near any source of heat, steam, or combustible gas
Near flammable items such as curtains or clothing
Near any obstacle that might block air circulation
Near the doorway
In a location subject to direct sunlight
NOTE ABOUT WALL HOLE:
If there is no fixed refrigerant piping:
While choosing a location, be aware that you should leave ample room for a wall hole (see Drill wall hole for connective piping step) for the signal cable and refrigerant piping that connect the indoor and outdoor units.
The default position for all piping is the right side of the indoor unit (while facing the unit).
However, the unit can accommodate piping to both the left and right.
Refer to the following diagram to ensure proper distance from walls and ceiling:

NOTE:

• If no need the back holder to prop up the unit:
  Finishing the pipe and cable connections before mount the indoor unit on the wall. If the installation height is limited, 5cm from the ceiling is allowable, but this can lower product performance. To ensure enough space to install and remove the top air filter, keep at least 10cm or more from the ceiling.

• Need the back holder to prop up the unit:
  If connecting pipe and cable with front panel open, the minimum distance from ceiling is 22cm or more, if connecting pipe and cable without front panel(remove it) , the minimum distance from ceiling is 11cm or more.

Step 2: Attach mounting plate to wall
The mounting plate is the device on which you will mount the indoor unit.

• Remove the screw that attaches the mounting plate to the back of the indoor unit.

• Secure the mounting plate to the wall with the screws provided. Make sure that mounting plate is fiat against the wall.

NOTE FOR CONCRETE OR BRICK WALLS:
If the wall is made of brick, concrete, or similar material, drill 5mm- diameter (0.2in-diameter) holes in the wall and insert the sleeve anchors provided. Then secure the mounting plate to the wall by tightening the screws directly into the clip anchors.
Step 3: Drill wall hole for connective piping

1. Determine the location of the wall hole based on the position of the mounting plate. Refer to Mounting Plate Dimensions.
2. Using a 65mm (2.5in) or 90mm(3.54in) (depending on models )core drill, drill a hole in the wall. Make sure that the hole is drilled at a slight downward angle, so that the outdoor end of the hole is lower than the indoor end by about 5mm to 7mm (0.2-0.275in). This will ensure proper water  drainages NOTE: When the gas side connective pipe is Φ 16mm(5/8in) or more, the wall hole should be 90mm(3.54in).
3. Place the protective wall cuff in the hole.
   This protects the edges of the hole and will help seal it when you finish the installation process.

CAUTION
When drilling the wall hole, make sure to avoid wires, plumbing, and other sensitive components.

CAUTION: The Bubble level on the mounting plate can’t be removed. If it is broken, make sure to clean up the leaking liquid.

Step 4: Prepare refrigerant piping The refrigerant piping is inside an insulating sleeve attached to the back of the unit. You must prepare the piping before passing it through the hole in the wall. Refer to the Refrigerant Piping Connection section of this manual for detailed instructions on pipe flaring and flare torque requirements, technique, etc.
NOTE ON PIPING ANGLE
Refrigerant piping can exit the indoor unit from four different angles:

• Left-hand side
• Left rear
• Right-hand side
• Right rear

Refer to figures below for details.

NOTE ON PIPING CONNECTING

• In some locations of US, a conduit tube must be used to connect the cable. To ensure an enough space for the pipes running and the machine is against the wall after installation, It is recommended to attach the drain hose to the right-hand side (when you’re facing the back of the unit).
• When choose Left-hand side or Right-hand side piping, please make sure that the pipes come out horizontally so as not to affect the lower panel installtion.

**CAUTION
Be extremely careful not to dent or damage the piping while bending them away from the unit. Any dents in the piping will affect the unit’s performance.
If refrigerant piping is already embedded in the wall, do the following:
Step 1:Hook the indoor unit on the mounting plate:**

1. Keep in mind that the hooks on the mounting plate are smaller than the holes on the back of the unit.
   If you find that you don’t have ample room to connect embedded pipes to the indoor unit, the unit can be adjusted left or right by about 30-50mm (1.18-1.95in), depending on the model.

Step 2: Prepare refrigerant piping:

1. Open and fix the position of the panel, then, open the covers of the two lock blocks, unscrew the screw showed in the picture below, then hold both sides of the lower panel in the place marked “PULL”, pull it upwards to release the buckles, then take the lower panel down. Model A****

2. Use the holder at the back of the unit to prop up the unit, giving you enough room to connect the refrigerant piping, signal cable, and drain hose.

Step 3. Connect drain hose and refrigerant piping (refer to Refrigerant Piping Connection section of this manual for instructions).
Step 4. Keep pipe connection point exposed to perform the leak test (refer to Electrical Checks and Leak Checks section of this manual).
Step 5. After the leak test, wrap the connection point with insulation tape.
Step 6. Remove the bracket or wedge that is propping with insulation tape.
Step 7. Using even pressure, push down on the bottom half of the unit. Keep pushing down until the unit snaps onto the hooks along the bottom of the mounting plate.
If there is no refrigerant piping embedded in the wall, do the following:

1. Based on the position of the wall hole relative to the mounting plate, choose the side from which the piping will exit the unit.

2. If the wall hole is behind the unit, keep the knock-out panel in place. If the wall hole is to the side of the indoor unit, remove the plastic knock-out panel from that side of the unit. (See figure below). This will create a slot through which your piping can exit the unit. Use needle nose pliers if the plastic panel is too difficult to remove by hand.

3. Use scissors to cut down the length of the insulating sleeve to reveal about 40mm (1.57in) of the refrigerant piping. This serves two purposes:
   • To facilitate the Refrigerant Piping Connection process.
   • To facilitage Gas Leak Checks and enable you to check for dents

4. Use the holder at the back of the unit to prop up the unit, giving you enough room to connect the refrigerant piping, signal cable, and drain hose.

5. Connect the indoor unit’s refrigerant piping to the connective piping that will join the indoor and outdoor units. Refer to the Refrigerant Piping Connection section of this manual for detailed instructions.

6. Based on the position of the wall hole relative to the mounting plate, determine the necessary angle of your piping.

7. Grip the refrigerant piping at the base of the bend.

8. Slowly, with even pressure, bend the piping towards the hole. Do not dent or damage the piping during the process.

Step 5: Connect drain hose
By default, the drain hose is attached to the left-hand side of unit (when you’re facing the back of the unit). However, it can also be attached to the right-hand side. To ensure proper drainage, attach the drain hose on the same side that your refrigerant piping exits the unit.
NOTE: In some locations of US, if the machine has installed the conduit panel, please choose right-hand side drainage.
Wrap the connection point firmly with Teflon tape to ensure a good seal and to prevent leaks.

• Remove the air filter and pour a small amount of water into the drain pan to make sure that water flows from the unit smoothly.

NOTE ON DRAIN HOSE PLACEMENT
Make sure to arrange the drain hose according to the following figures.
DO NOT kink the drain hose.
DO NOT create a water trap.
** DO NOT put the end of drain hose in water or a container that will collect water. Make sure there are no kinks or dent in drain hose to ensure proper drainage. Kinks in the drain hose will create water traps. Kinks in the drain hose will create water traps. Do not place the end of the drain hose in water or in containers that collect water.
This will prevent proper drainage.
PLUG THE UNUSED DRAIN HOLE
To prevent unwanted leaks you must plug the unused drain hole with the rubber plug provided.

   This is dangerous, and can cause the air conditioning unit to malfunction.

7. After checking to make sure every connection is secure, use the cable clamp to fasten the signal cable to the unit. Screw the cable clamp down tightly.

8. Replace the wire cover on the front of the unit, and the plastic panel on the back.

**NOTE ABOUT WIRING
THE WIRING CONNECTION PROCESS MAY DIFFER SLIGHTLY BETWEEN UNITS AND REGIONS.
Step 7:** Wrapping and cables
Before passing the piping, drain hose, and the signal cable through the wall hole, you must bundle them together to save space, protect them, and insulate them(This may not applicable for some locations in US).

1. Bundle the drain hose, refrigerant pipes, and signal cable as shown below: DRAIN HOSE MUST BE ON BOTTOM
   Make sure that the drain hose is at the bottom of the bundle. Putting the drain hose at the top of the bundle can cause the drain pan to overflow, which can lead to fire or water damage.
   DO NOT INTERTWINE SIGNAL CABLE WITH OTHER WIRES
   While bundling these items together, do not intertwine or cross the signal cable with any other wiring.

2. Using adhesive vinyl tape, attach the drain hose to the underside of the refrigerant pipes.

3. Using insulation tape, wrap the signal wire, refrigerant pipes, and drain hose tightly together. Double-check that all items are bundled.

DO NOT WRAP ENDS OF PIPING
When wrapping the bundle, keep the ends of the piping unwrapped. You need to access them to test for leaks at the end of the installation process (refer to Electrical Checks and Leak Checks section of this manual)
Step 8: Mount indoor unit
If you installed new connective piping to the outdoor unit, do the following:

1. If you have already passed the refrigerant piping through the hole in the wall, proceed to Step 4.
2. Otherwise, double-check that the ends of the refrigerant pipes are sealed to prevent dirt or foreign materials from entering the pipes.
3. Slowly pass the wrapped bundle of refrigerant pipes, drain hose, and signal wire through the hole in the wall.
4. Hook the top of the indoor unit on the upper hook of the mounting plate.
5. Check that unit is hooked firmly on mounting by applying slight pressure to the left and right-hand sides of the unit. The unit should not jiggle or shift.
6. Using even pressure, push down on the bottom half of the unit. Keep pushing down until the unit snaps onto the hooks along the bottom of the mounting plate.
7. Again, check that the unit is firmly mounted by applying slight pressure to the left and the right-hand sides of the unit.

Connection Instructions – Refrigerant Piping

Step 1: Cut pipes
When preparing refrigerant pipes, take extra care to cut and flare them properly. This will ensure efficient operation and minimize the need for future maintenance.

1. Measure the distance between the indoor and outdoor units.
2. Using a pipe cutter, cut the pipe a little longer than the measured distance.
3. Make sure that the pipe is cut at a perfect 90° angle.

DO NOT DEFORM PIPE WHILE CUTTING
Be extra careful not to damage, dent, or deform the pipe while cutting. This will drastically reduce the heating efficiency of the unit.
Step 2: Remove burrs
Burrs can affect the air-tight seal of refrigerant piping connection. They must be completely removed.

1. Hold the pipe at a downward angle to prevent burrs from falling into the pipe.
2. Using a reamer or deburring tool, remove all burrs from the cut section of the pipe.

Step 3: Flare pipe ends
Proper flaring is essential to achieve an airtight seal.

1. After removing burrs from cut pipe, seal the ends with PVC tape to prevent foreign materials from entering the pipe.
2. Sheath the pipe with insulating material.
3. Place fare nuts on both ends of pipe. Make sure they are facing in the right direction, because you can’t put them on or change their direction after fairing.
4. Remove PVC tape from ends of pipe when ready to perform flaring work.
5. Clamp flare form on the end of the pipe.
   The end of the pipe must extend beyond the edge of the flare form in accordance with the dimensions shown in the table below.
   PIPING EXTENSION BEYOND FLARE FORM Outer Diameter of Pipe (mm)| A (mm)

Instructions for Connecting Piping to Outdoor Unit

1. Unscrew the cover from the packed valve on the side of the outdoor unit.
2. Remove protective caps from ends of valves.
3. Align flared pipe end with each valve, and tighten the flare nut as tightly as possible by hand.
4. Using a spanner, grip the body of the valve. Do not grip the nut that seals the service valve.
5. While firmly gripping the body of the valve, use a torque wrench to tighten the flare nut according to the correct torque values.
6. Loosen the flaring nut slightly, then tighten again.
7. Repeat Steps 3 to 6 for the remaining pipe.

USE SPANNER TO GRIP MAIN BODY OF VALVE
Torque from tightening the flare nut can snap off other parts of valve.

Air Evacuation

Preparations and Precautions
Air and foreign matter in the refrigerant circuit can cause abnormal rises in pressure, which can damage the air conditioner, reduce its efficiency, and cause injury. Use a vacuum pump and manifold gauge to evacuate the refrigerant circuit, removing any non-condensable gas and moisture from the system.
Evacuation should be performed upon initial installation and when unit is relocated.
BEFORE PERFORMING EVACUATION
Check to make sure the connective pipes between the indoor and outdoor units are connected properly .
Check to make sure all wiring is connected properly.
Evacuation Instructions

1. Connect the charge hose of the manifold gauge to service port on the outdoor unit’s low pressure valve.
2. Connect another charge hose from the manifold gauge to the vacuum pump.
3. Open the Low Pressure side of the manifold gauge. Keep the High Pressure side closed.
4. Turn on the vacuum pump to evacuate the system.
5. Run the vacuum for at least 15 minutes, or until the Compound Meter reads -76cmHG (-10 Pa)
6. Close the Low Pressure side of the manifold gauge, and turn off the vacuum pump.
7. Wait for 5 minutes, then check that there has been no change in system pressure.
8. If there is a change in system pressure, refer to Gas Leak Check section for information on how to check for leaks. If there is no change in system pressure, unscrew the cap from the packed valve (high pressure valve).
9. Insert hexagonal wrench into the packed valve (high pressure valve) and open the valve by turning the wrench in a 1/4 counterclockwise turn. Listen for gas to exit the system, then close the valve after 5 seconds.
10. Watch the Pressure Gauge for one minute to make sure that there is no change in pressure. The Pressure Gauge should read slightly higher than atmospheric pressure.
11. Remove the charge hose from the service port.
12. Using hexagonal wrench, fully open both the high pressure and low pressure valves.
13. Tighten valve caps on all three valves (service port, high pressure, low pressure) by hand. You may tighten it further using a torque wrench if needed.

OPEN VALVE STEMS GENTLY
When opening valve stems, turn the hexagonal wrench until it hits against the stopper. Do not try to force the valve to open further.
Note on Adding Refrigerant
Some systems require additional charging depending on pipe lengths. The standard pipe length varies according to local regulations. For example, in North America, the standard pipe length is 7.5m (25’).
In other areas, the standard pipe length is 5m (16‘). The refrigerant should be charged from the service port on the outdoor unit’s low pressure valve. The additional refrigerant to be charged can be calculated using the following formula:
ADDITIONAL REFRIGERANT PER PIPE LENGTH

Connective Pipe Air Purging Length (m) Method| Additional| Refrigerant
---|---|---
Standard pipe length| Vacuum Pump|  N/A

Standard pipe length| Vacuum Pump| Liquid Side: 0 6.35 (0 0.25″)
R32:
(Pipe length – standard length) x 12g/m
(Pipe length – standard length) x 0.13oZ/ft
R290:

(Pipe length – standard length) x 0.32oZ/ft
R22:
(Pipe length – standard length) x 40g/m
(Pipe length – standard length) x 0.42oZ/ft

For R290 refrigerant unit, the total amount of refrigerant to be charged is no more than:
387g(<=9000Btu/h), 447g(>9000Btu/h and <=12000Btu/h), 547g(>12000Btu/h and <=18000Btu/h), 632g(>18000Btu/h and <=24000Btu/h).
CAUTION DO NOT mix refrigerant types.

Electrical and Gas Leak Checks

Note: This may not be required for some locations in North America.
DURING TEST RUN
Check for Electrical Leakage
During the Test Run, use an electro probe and multimeter to perform a comprehensive electrical leakage test.
If electrical leakage is detected, turn off the unit immediately and call a licensed electrician to find and resolve the cause of the leakage.
Note: This may not be required for some locations in North America.
WARNING – RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
ALL WIRING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES, AND MUST BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.
Gas Leak Checks
There are two different methods to check for gas leaks.
Soap and Water Method
Using a soft brush, apply soapy water or liquid detergent to all pipe connection points on the indoor unit and outdoor unit. The presence of bubbles indicates a leak.
Leak Detector Method
If using leak detector, refer to the device’s operation manual for proper usage instructions.
AFTER PERFORMING GAS LEAK CHECKS
After confirming that the all pipe connection points DO NOT leak, replace the valve cover on the outside unit.

A: Low pressure stop valve
B: High pressure stop valve
C& D: Indoor unit flare nuts

Test Run

Test Run Instructions
You should perform the Test Run for at least 30 minutes.

1. Connect power to the unit.

2. Press the ON/OFF button on the remote controller to turn it on.

3. Press the MODE button to scroll through the following functions, one at a time:
   • COOL – Select lowest possible temperature
   • HEAT – Select highest possible temperature

4. Let each function run for 5 minutes, and perform the following checks:
   List of Checks to Perform| PASS/FAIL
   ---|---
   No electrical leakage| |
   Unit is properly grounded| |
   All electrical terminals properly covered| |
   Indoor and outdoor units are solidly installed| |
   All pipe connection points do not leak| Outdoor (2):| Indoor (2):
   Water drains properly from drain hose| |
   All piping is properly insulated| |
   Unit performs COOL function properly| |
   Unit performs HEAT function properly| |
   Indoor unit louvers rotate properly| |
   Indoor unit responds to remote controller| |

DOUBLE-CHECK PIPE CONNECTIONS
During operation, the pressure of the refrigerant circuit will increase. This may reveal leaks that were not present during your initial leak check. Take time during the Test Run to double-check that all refrigerant pipe connection points do not have leaks. Refer to Gas Leak Check section for instructions.

5. After the Test Run is successfully completed, and you confirm that all checks points in List of Checks to Perform have PASSED, do the following:
   a. Using remote control, return unit to normal operating temperature.
   b. Using insulation tape, wrap the indoor refrigerant pipe connections that you left uncovered during the indoor unit installation process.

IF AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 17°C (62°F)
You can’t use the remote controller to turn on the COOL function when the ambient temperature is below 17°C. In this instance, you can use the MANUAL CONTROL button to test the COOL function.

1. The MANUAL CONTROL button is located on the right-hand side panel of the unit.
2. Press the button 2 times to select the COOL function.
3. Perform Test Run as normal
