Installation instructions

Select the best location
1 To avoid vibration and noise, make sure the unit is
installed securely and firmly.
2 Install the unit where the sunlight does not shine directly
on the unit.
If the unit receives direct sunlight, build an awning to
shade the cabinet.
3 There should be no obstacle, such as a fence or wall,
within 50cm from the back of the cabinet because it will
prevent heat radiation of the condensor.
Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce the cooling
and heating efficiency of the air conditioner.
4 Install the unit a little obliquely outward not to leak the
condensed water into the room (about 10mm or 1/4
bubble with level).
5 Install the unit with its bottom portion 75~150cm above
the floor level.
6 The power cord must be connected to an independent
circuit. The yellow/green wire must be grounded.
7 Based on calculations in compliance with AS60335.2.40
there is no minimum safe floor area for the installation of
the air conditioners described in this manual.
caution
All side louvers of the cabinet must remain exposed to the
outside of the structure.

Installation of the Housing
1 Remove the air conditioner from its packaging, remove
fixing screws and slide the air conditioner out of its
housing (Refer to Installation Steps).
2 Prepare the hole in the wall so that the bottom of
the housing is well supported, the top has minimum
clearance and the air inlet louvers have clearance as
shown below in options A and B. Holes from the outside
through to the cavity should be sealed. The housing
should slope down towards the rear by about 5mm to
allow water formed during operation to drain.
3 Install the housing into the wall and secure. Ensure the
foam seals are not damaged. Flash, seal or fill gaps
around the inside and outside to provide satisfactory
appearance and protection against the weather, insects

and rodents.
Note: Unit may be supported by a solid frame from below or
by a hanger from a solid overhead support.
