USER The outdoor unit must always be kept upright. Handling must be done by suitably equipped qualified technical personnel using equipment that is suitable for the weight of the appliance.

INSTALLING THE INDOOR UNIT USER Before starting installation, decide on the position of the indoor and outdoor units, taking into account the minimum clearance required around the units (see technical data table). Install the indoor unit in the room to be air conditioned, avoiding installations in corridors or communal areas. Ensure that there is a mains socket very close to the indoor unit where it can be plugged in.

Recommended minimum clearance Outline of the unit

Install the indoor unit at a height of at least 2.5 m from the ground. LOCATING THE INDOOR UNIT The indoor unit must be wall mounted. It must be located so that the treated air can circulate throughout the room.

Note: when the product is delivered the mounting plate is attached to the rear of the indoor unit. It may be a different shape to the one shown above, but the method of installation is the same.

To install the indoor unit proceed as follows: Installing the mounting plate - Remove the screws from the plate, which is attached to the rear of the unit. - Remove the plate; - Place it against the wall at the point where it is to be installed, using a spirit level (provided in the kit) to ensure that it is horizontal and complying with the minimum clearance indicated in the figure. - Using a pencil, mark the position of the holes for the screw anchors on the wall. - Drill 32 mm deep holes in the wall for fixing the plate. - Insert the plastic anchors into the hole. - Fix the mounting plate to the wall using the anchors and the self-tapping screws provided in the kit. - Check that the mounting plate is correctly fixed. - Check again that the plate is level. Drilling a hole in the wall for the piping - Decide where to drill the hole in the wall for the piping according to the position of the mounting plate (see figure) -

Using compasses, mark the circumference (ø 90 mm) of the hole for the connections to pass through. The hole must be drilled in the left side of the unit in line with the refrigerant outlet connections.

Ensure that the hose is not bent for the whole length A of the appliance.

Before installing the indoor unit, mount the silver ion and biological electrostatic filters (if ordered). To install the filters: - Take out the mesh filter. - Attach the silver ion and the biological electrostatic (if ordered) filters. - Refit the filters inside the indoor unit, proceeding in the reverse order to above.

Using a wall borer-cutter (not provided), make a hole for the refrigerant connections to pass through. NB: if you do not have a borer-cutter available, the hole can be made using a drill and drilling lots of holes close to each other around the marked circumference.

ESTERNO INTERNO The hole must slope gently downwards towards the exterior.

Connecting the condensate outlet pipe The indoor unit is fitted with a condensate outlet pipe to which a drain pipe must be connected that leads to a suitable place for drainage. -

Connect an insulated drain pipe (øi 16 mm) to the outlet pipe connection using a hose clamp or adhesive tape. Check that the condensate flows out regularly. The drain pipe must have a minimum slope of 3% towards the drain. Check all the joints for leaks. Lag the joints. Avoid upturned sections.

Passing through the connections - Pass the condensate drain pipe and the flexible sheath containing the refrigerant connections through the previously made hole. INTERNO

ESTERNO Fit the indoor unit onto the mounting plate, passing the pipes through the previously made hole. To avoid damaging the fittings, before passing the sheath through the hole in the wall, it is advisable to protect the ends of the push-fit connections with the plugs provided in the kit or with adhesive paper tape.

SINGLE SPLIT INSTALLING THE OUTDOOR UNIT INSTALLATION LOCATING THE OUTDOOR UNIT The outdoor unit may stand on the floor or be wall mounted, provided it is well supported and vibrations are not transmitted to adjacent rooms. It is advisable to avoid installation: In pits or air vents; Where obstacles or barriers could cause the expelled air to recirculate; In places with an aggressive atmosphere; In restricted places where the noise level of the appliance could be increased by reverberation or resonance; in corners where dust, leaves or such usually accumulate and could reduce appliance efficiency by obstructing the passage of air.

Where air expelled from the appliance could enter inhabited rooms through doors or windows, since this would cause discomfort to the persons indoors; Where air expelled from the appliance is opposed by wind in the opposite direction; Where sunlight falls directly on the appliance. Before starting installation, decide on the position of the indoor and outdoor units, taking into account the minimum clearance required, the max. length of the refrigerant lines and the difference in level between the units.

Floor standing When installing on the floor or a flat deck, the feet need not be fixed to the ground. Supports are instead placed underneath (~90÷100 mm) to allow application of the condensate drain pipe. Place vibration-isolation mountings (not provided in the kit) between the feet and the supporting base. Wall mounted When wall mounting, the recommended minimum clearance must be observed and a supporting kit is used that must be ordered separately. Carefully check that the structure and the load-bearing capacity of the supporting wall are suitable. Ensure that the recommended clearance given in the “Technical Data” table is left around the appliance. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage or injury caused by failure to earth the appliance or to comply with the instructions given in this booklet.
