Installation instructions

Outdoor unit installation

1. Install Drain Port and Drain Hose (for heat-pump model only)
The condensate drains from the outdoor unit when the unit operates
in heating mode. In order not to disturb your neighbor 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 to
the chassis of the outdoor unit, then connect a drain hose to the
port as the right figure demonstrates.
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 supporter well to prevent it
from shaking due to serious vibration or strong wind.
3. Outdoor Unit Piping Connection
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.
4. Outdoor Unit Cable Connection (see previous page)

Air purging

The air which contains moisture remaining in the refrigeration cycle may cause a malfunction on the
compressor. After connecting the indoor and outdoor units, release air and moisture from the refrigerant
cycle using a vacuum pump, as shown below.
Note: To protect the environment, be sure not to discharge the refrigerant to the air directly.
See next page for air purging steps.
