CHOOSING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION
• When installing, use the nearest power outlet. Make sure the power outlet is easy to
reach so you can quickly disconnect your air conditioner in case of emergency.
• Ensure that the air conditioner is well supported, securely fastened, easily reachable
and not obstructed.
• Avoid locations with: salty or sulphurous air, draughts, dampness and flammable gas.
• If you install the drainage system, be sure to channel the condensed water to a suitable
location.
• Covers, obstructions and unsteady support may cause excessive operating noise and vibration.
• The rear end of the air conditioner is splash proof. You need not shield or cover it.
PREPARATIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION
Dimension
• There should not be any obstacles surrounding the
unit.
• Prepare an installation hole slightly bigger than the
cabinet size.
• Left and right sides of the unit should be at least
15cm away from the wall.
CAUTION POINT DURING INSTALLATION
When installing air-conditioner at glass window or thin
partition, fix the vertical & side supporting bar to the
concrete wall in order to support the weight of the air-
conditioner and reduce the vibration that is being
transferred to the glass window or thin partition.
This can minimize the noise problem caused by improper
installation.
• Proposed to use 1/8" x 1-1/4" "angle-
aluminium" for installation frame and
side supporting bar.
