ENGLISH
• Select and mark the position for fixing bolts
and piping hole.
• Decide the position for fixing bolts slightly
tilted to the drain direction after considering
the direction of drain hose.
• Drill the hole for anchor bolt on the wall.
CAUTION:
This air-conditioner uses a drain pump.
• Horizontly install the unit using a
level gauge.
During the installation, care should be
taken not to damage electric wires.
• Thoroughly study the following installation locations:
1. In such places as restaurants and kitchens, considerable amount of oil steam and flour
adhere to the turbo fan, the fin of the heat exchanger and the drain pump, resulting in heat
exchange reduction, spraying, dispersing of water drops, drain pump malfunction, etc.
In these cases, take the following actions:
• Make sure that the ventilation fan for smoke-collecting hood on a cooking table has
sufficient capacity so that it draws oily steam which should not flow into the suction of the
air conditioner.
• Make enough distance from a cooking room to install the air conditioner in such a place
where it may not suck in oily steam.
2. Avoid installing air conditioner in such circumstances where cutting oil mist or iron powder is
in suspension in factories, etc.
3. Avoid places where inflammable gas is generated, flows in, is stored or vented.
4. Avoid places where sulfurous acid gas or corrosive gas is generated.
5. Avoid places near high frequency generators.

• Always lay the drain with downward
inclination (1/50 to 1/100).
Prevent any upward flow or reverse flow
in any part.
• 10 mm or thicker formed thermal insulator
shall always be provided for the drain
pipe.
• Install the P-Trap (or U-Trap) to prevent
a water leakage caused by the blocking
of intake air filter.
Applied U-Trap Dimension

Indoor unit installation
1. Hook the indoor unit onto the upper portion of
the installation plate.(Engage the two hooks
of the rear top of the indoor unit with the
upper edge of the installation plate.) Ensure
that the hooks are properly seated on the
installation plate by moving it left and right.
Press the lower left and right sides of the unit
against the installation plate until the hooks
engage into their slots(clicking sound).
Connecting the pipings to the in
door unit and drain hose to drain
pipe
1. Align the center of the pipings and sufficiently
tighten the flare nut by hand.
2. Tighten the flare nut with a wrench.
3. When extending the drain hose at the indoor
unit, install the drain pipe.
Wrap the insulation material
around the connecting portion.
1. Overlap the connection pipe insulation
material and the indoor unit pipe insulation
material. Bind them together with vinyl tape
so that there is no gap.
2. Wrap the area which accommodates the rear
piping housing section with vinyl tape.
