Step 2: Attach Mounting Plate To Wall; Step 3: Drill Wall Hole For Connective Piping - Mirage IVEH121A Owner's Manual

Refer to the following diagram to ensure proper distance
from walls and ceiling:

Step 2: Attach mounting plate to wall

The mounting plate is the device on which you
will mount the indoor unit.
1. Take out the mounting plate which packed with
the indoor unit.
2. Place the mounting plate against the wall in a
location that meets the standards in the Select
Installation Location step. (See Mounting Plate
Dimensions for detailed information on mounting
plate sizes.)
3. Drill holes for mounting screws in places that:
Have studs and can support the weight of the unit
Correspond to screw holes in the mounting plate
4. Secure the mounting plate to the wall with the
screws provided.
5. Make sure that mounting plate is flat against
the wall.
NOTE FOR CONCRETE OR BRICK WALLS:
If the wall is made of brick, concrete, or similar
material, drill 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.
Fig. 3.1

Step 3: Drill wall hole for connective piping

You must drill a hole in the wall for refrigerant pip-
ing, the drainage pipe, and the signal cable that
will connect the indoor and outdoor units.
1. Determine the location of the wall hole based
on the position of the mounting plate. Refer to
Mounting Plate Dimensions on the
next page to help you determine the optimal po-
sition. The wall hole should be at least 2.5 in from
the side of the unit, and at a slightly lower angle
to facilitate drainage.
2. Using a 2.5 in 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
0.2-0.275 in. This will ensure proper water drain-
age. (See Fig. 3.2)
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.
