If a conventional flare tool is used, please use a copper pipe gauge or a similar instrument to
check protrusion so that you can keep measurement B to a correct value.
Open/close and detachment/attachment of the air inlet panel
○ To open, pull the panel at both ends of lower part
and release latches, then pull up the panel until
you feel resistance.
(The panel stops at approx. 60 open position)
○ To close, hold the panel at both ends of lower
part to lower downward and push it slightly until
the latch works.
○ To remove, pull up the panel to the position
shown in right illustration and pull it toward you.
○ To install, insert the panel arm into the slot on the
front panel from the position shown in right
illustration, hold the panel at both ends of lower
part, lower it downward slowly, then push it
slightly until the latch works.

Since this air conditioner has been designed to collect dew drops on the rear
surface to the drain pan, do not attach the power cord above the gutter.
Drainage
○ Arrange the drain hose in a downward angle.
○ Avoid the following drain piping.
Higher than specified
○ Pour water to the drain pan located under the heat exchanger, and ensure that the water is discharged outdoor.
○ When the extended drain hose is indoor, securely insulate it with a heat insulator available in the market.
Connection Insulation of the connection portion
Cover the coupling with insulator and then cover it with tapes.
Indoor Liquid side
Gas side
(Do not turn)
○ Connect the pipes on both liquid and gas sides.
○ Tighten the nuts to the following torque.
Liquid side (ø6.35) : 14.0 - 18.0 N·m (1.4 - 1.8 kgf·m)
• Cover the indoor unit s flare-connected joints, after they are checked for a gas leak, with an indoor unit
Gas side (ø9.52) : 34.0 - 42.0 N·m (3.4 - 4.2 kgf·m)
(ø12.7) : 49.0 - 61.0 N·m (4.9 - 6.1 kgf·m) heat insulating material and then wrap them with a tape with an attached insulation pad placed over
the heat insulating material's slit area.
CAUTION
Finishing work and fixing
Do not apply excess torque to the flared nuts.
Otherwise, the flared nuts may check depending.
