   • There should not be any heat source or steam near the unit.
   • There should not be any obstacles to prevent the
   air circulation.
   • A place where air circulation in the room will be good.
   • A place where drainage can be easily obtained.
   • A place where noise prevention is taken into con-
   sideration.
   • Do not install the unit near the door way.
   • Ensure the spaces indicated by arrows from the
   wall, ceiling, fence, or other obstacles.
   2. Outdoor unit
   • If an awning is built over the unit to prevent direct sunlight or rain exposure, be careful that heat radi- ation from the condenser is not restricted.
   • There should not be any animals or plants which could be affected by hot air discharged.
   • Ensure the spaces indicated by arrows from the
   wall, ceiling, fence, or other obstacles.

2. Indoor Unit Installation
   To prevent i rom he word ion strong and solid enough
   1. Mount the installation plate on the wall with
   four Type “A” screws.
   (if mounting the unit on the concrete wall, consider
   using anchor bolts.)
   • Always mount the installation plate horizontally by
   aligning the marking-off line by means of the
   thread and a level.

2. Piping and Drainage of Indoor Unit

1. Preparation of Pipings
   1. Cut the pipes and the cable.
   • Use the accessory piping kit or the pipes pur- chased locally.
   • Measure the distance between the indoor and the outdoor unit.
   • Cut the pipes a little longer than measured dis-
   tance.
   • Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the length of the pipe.
   2. Remove burrs.
   • Remove burrs from cut edges of pipes.
   • Turn the pipe end toward down to avoid the metal powder entering the pipe.
   Caution:
   age.
   If burrs are not removed, they may cause a gas leak-
   3. Flaring the pipes.
   • Insert the flare nuts, mounted on the connection
   ports of both indoor and outdoor unit, onto the copper pipes. Some gas may leak, when the flare nuts are removed from the indoor unit, as some gas is charged to prevent the inside of the pipe from rusting.
   • Fit the copper pipe end into the Bar of flare tool about 0.5~1.0mm higher. (See illustration)
   • Flare the pipe ends.
   4. Tape the flaring portion to protect it from the
   dust or damages.

2. Connection of Pipings
   1. Remove the indoor tubing with Drain hose from
   the hole
   • Remove tubing holder and pull the tubing out of
   the chassis.
   2. Replace the tubing holder into original position.
   For right rear piping
   3. Packwate tubing and the drain hose straight
   4. Insert the connecting cable into the indoor unit
   through the piping hole.
   • Do not connect the cable to the indoor unit.
   • Make a small loop with the cable for easy connection later.

rear top of the indoor unit with the upper edge of the installation plate.)
Ensure the hooks are properly seated on the
installation plate by moving it left and right.
7. Connecting the pipings to the indoor unit.
• Align the center of the pipings and sufficiently tighten the flare nut with fingers.
• Finally, tighten the flare nut with torque wrench until the wrench clicks.
When tightening the flare nut with torque wrench, ensure the direction for tightening follows the
arrow on the wrench.
