INSTALLATION
INSTALL THE MOUNTING PLATE
1
• Always mount the mounting plate horizontally.
• Attach the mounting plate at the selected location
with screws supplied with the unit.
• Be sure that the mounting plate has been
attached firmly enough to withstand the weight
of an adult of 130 lbs. Also, the weight should be
evenly shared by each screw.
INSTALL THE TUBING HOLE
2
• Make the tubing hole in the wall at a slight
downward slant to the outdoor side.
Hole is 2" diameter for 10K and 14K BTU
models and 2 1 ⁄ " diameter for
2
20K BTU models.
• To let water drain and prevent damage to wiring
and tubing, insert a 2 1
length equal to the wall depth. Insert the tubing
and wiring through the pipe.
• Copper tubing should be capped until ready to
install flare fitting, to prevent contamination.
INSTALL THE DRAINAGE HOSE
3
• For good drainage, the drain hose should be
placed at a downward slant.
• Do not wrench or bend the drain hose or allow
it to contact standing water.
• The extended drainage tube in the room should
be wrapped with the insulating materials.
