Installation of the Housing

Step 1
Remove the air conditioner from it's packaging, remove fixing
screws and slide the air conditioner out of it's housing (Refer
to Installation Steps).
Step 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 louvres have clearance as shown 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
10mm to allow water formed during operation to drain.
Step 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: To assist in isolating transmission of normal operation
vibration into the wall, use the foam strip.
Fit the foam strip between the air conditioner housing and
the wall cavity.

Installation of the unit into the Housing

1. Remove the front panel as per the installation instruction
and slide the unit into the housing until it is firmly against
the rear of the housing. Care is required to ensure the foam
sealing strips on the inside of the housing remain in position.
2. Connect the air conditioner to the power and position
excess cord length beneath the air conditioner base.
3. Engage the chassis fixing brackets into the bottom housing
rail and secure to the base with the screw provided.
4. Re-install the front panel as per the installation instruction.
5. Switch the unit on. Check for operation of the unit and
check for vibration in the installation.
6. Fit the drain pan to the housing and run a drain line to a
suitable location if required.
