Installation of Unit

1. Indoor unit

• 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 consideration.

• Do not install the unit near the door way.

• Ensure the spaces indicated by arrows

from the wall, ceiling, or other obstacles.

• The indoor unit must keep the

maintenance space.

2. Outdoor unit

• If an awning is built over the unit to prevent

direct sunlight or rain exposure, be careful

that heat radiation 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.

1.The mounting floor should be strong and solid

enough to prevent it from vibration.

2. Drill the piping hole with 70mm diameter hole-

core drill at either the right or the left of indoor

unit. The hole should be sightly slant to the

outdoor side.

3. Insert the plastic tube through the hole.

4. Cut the extruded outside part of the plastic

tube, if necessary.

1. Install the outdoor unit on the concrete or any solid base securely and horizontally by securing it

with bolts (Ø12mm) and nuts.

2. If there is any vibration transmitted to the building, mount the rubber underneath the outdoor unit.

Refrigerant amount

Before shipment, this air conditioner is filled

with the rated amount of refrigerant including

additional amount required for air-purging,

subject to 5m piping length. (The rated amount

of refrigerant is indicated on the name plate.)

But when the piping length exceeds 5 meters,

additional charge is required according to the

following table.

Example) 28K/30K

In case of 10m long pipe(one-way), the amount

of refrigerant to be replenished is:

(10 - 5) x 30 = 150g
