Outdoor unit installation
Install Drain Port and Drain Hose (for heat-pump model

The condensate drains from the outdoor unit when the unit operates in
heating mode. In order not to disturb your neighbours and protect the
environment, install a drain port and a drain hose to direct the
condensate water. Just install the drain port and rubber washer on the
chassis of the outdoor unit, then connect a drain hose to the port as
shown in the figure on the right.
2. Install and Fix Outdoor Unit
Fix with bolts and nuts tightly on a flat and strong floor. If installed on
the wall or roof, make sure to fix the support well to prevent it from
shaking due to serious vibrations or strong wind.

Remove the valve caps from the 2-way and 3-way valve. Connect the
pipes to the 2-way and 3-way valves separately according to the
required torque.
