Near the doorway

In a location subject to direct sunlight

NOTE ABOUT THE WALL HOLE:

If there is no fixed refrigerant piping:

While choosing a location, be aware that you should leave ample

room for a wall hole (refer to step 3 below) for the signal cable and

refrigerant piping that connect the indoor and outdoor units.

The default position for all piping is the right side of the indoor unit

(facing the unit).

However, the unit can accommodate piping to both the left and right.

Refer to the following diagram to ensure proper distance from walls

and ceiling:

Step 2: Attach the mounting plate to the wall

The mounting plate is the device onto which you will mount the indoor

unit.

1. Remove the screw that attaches the mounting plate to the back of

the indoor unit.

AF_Manual_AC_9000BTU_BAC4256_BAC 4257_BAC4258_BAC4300_INSTALACAO.indd 16 21/01/2019 14:40

Split air conditioner | Aire Acondicionado Split | Ar Condicionado Split

2. Place the mounting plate against the wall in a location that meets

the standards in step 1 above (see the Mounting Plate Dimensions for

detailed information on mounting plate sizes).

3. Drill holes to mount the screws in places that:

• have studs and can support the unit’s weight

• correspond to screw holes in the mounting plate

4. Secure the mounting plate to the wall with the screws provided.

5. Make sure that mounting plate is flat against the wall.

NOTE FOR CONCRETE OR BRICK WALLS:

If the wall is made of brick, concrete or a similar material, drill 5 mm-

diameter (0.2 in-diameter) holes in the wall and insert the sleeve

anchors provided. Then secure the mounting plate to the wall by

tightening the screws directly into the clip anchors.

Step 3: Drill the wall hole to connect the piping

You must drill a hole in the wall for refrigerant piping, the drainage pipe,

and the signal cable that will connect the indoor and outdoor units.

1. Determine the location of the wall hole based on the position of the

mounting plate. Refer to the Mounting Plate Dimensions on the next

page to help you determine the optimal position. The wall hole should

have a minimum 65 mm (2.5 in) diameter, and at a slightly lower angle

to facilitate drainage.

2. Using a 65 mm (2.5 in) or 90 mm (3.54 in) (depending on models)

core drill, drill a hole in the wall. Make sure the hole is drilled at a slight

downward angle, so that the outdoor end of the hole is lower than

the indoor end by about 5 mm to 7 mm (0.2-0.27 in). This will ensure

proper water drainage (see Fig. 2).

3. Place the protective wall cu in the hole. This protects the edges of

the hole and will help seal it when you finish the installation process.

AF_Manual_AC_9000BTU_BAC4256_BAC 4257_BAC4258_BAC4300_INSTALACAO.indd 17 21/01/2019 14:40

Note: when the gas side connective pipe is 16 mm (5/8 in) or more,

the wall hole should be 90 mm (3.54 in).

Step 4: Prepare the refrigerant piping

The refrigerant piping is inside an insulating sleeve attached to the

back of the unit. You must prepare the piping before passing it through

the hole in the wall. Refer to the Refrigerant Piping Connection section

of this manual for detailed instructions on pipe flaring and flare torque

requirements, technique, etc.

1. Based on the position of the wall hole in relation to the mounting

plate, choose the side from which the piping will exit the unit.

2. If the wall hole is behind the unit, keep the knock-out panel in place.

If the wall hole is to the side of the indoor unit, remove the plastic

knock-out panel from that side of the unit (see Fig. 3). This will create a

slot through which your piping can exit the unit. Use needle nose pliers

if the plastic panel is too diicult to remove by hand.

Fig. 3

Knock-out Panel

3. Use scissors to cut down the length of the insulating sleeve to reveal

about 15 cm (6 in) of the refrigerant piping. This facilitates:

• the Refrigerant Piping Connection process

• Gas Leak Checks and enable you to check for dents

4. If the existing connective piping is already embedded in the wall,

proceed directly to the Connect Drain Hose step. If there is no embedded
