INSTALLATION MANUAL---Installation of the Indoor unit
Before starting installation, decide on the position of the indoor and outdoor units, taking into account the minimum space reserved around the units

Do not install your air conditioner in a wet room such as a bathroom or laundry etc

The installation site should be 250cm or more above the floor.
To install, proceed as follows:
Installation of the mounting plate
- Always mount the rear panel horizontally and vertically
- Drill 32 mm deep holes in the wall to fix the plate;
- Insert the plastic anchors into the hole;
- Fix the rear panel on the wall with provided tapping screws
- Be sure that the rear panel has been fixed firmly enough to withstand the weight.
Note : The shape of the mounting plate may be different from the one above, but installation method is similar.
Drilling a hole in the wall for the piping
- Make the piping hole (65) in the wall at a slight downward slant to the outdoor side.
- Insert the piping-hole sleeve into the hole to prevent the connection piping and wiring from being damaged when passing through the hole.
The hole must slope downwards towards the exterior
Note : Keep the drain pipe down towards the direction of the wall hole, otherwise leakage may occur.

Electrical connections---Indoor unit
- Open the front panel.
- Take off the cover as indicated in the picture (by removing a screw or breaking the hooks).
- For the electrical connections, see the circuit diagram on the right part of the unit under the front panel.
- Connect the cable wires to the screw terminals by following the numbering, Use wire size suitable to the electric power input (see name plate on the unit) and according to all current national safety code requirements.

The cable connecting the outdoor and indoor units must be suitable for outdoor use.

The plug must be accessible also after the appliance has been installed so that it can be pulled out if necessary.

An efficient earth connection must be ensured.

Refrigerant piping connection
The piping can be run in the 3 directions indicated by numbers in the picture. When the piping is run in direction 1 or 3, cut a notch along the groove on the side of the indoor unit with a cutter.
Run the piping in the direction of the wall hole and bind the copper pipes, the drain pipe and the power cables together with the tape with the drain pipe at the bottom, so that water can flow freely.
- Do not remove the cap from the pipe until connecting it, to avoid dampness or dirt from entering.
- If the pipe is bent or pulled too often, it will become stiff. Do not bend the pipe more than three times at one point.
- When extending the rolled pipe, straighten the pipe by unwinding it gently as shown in the picture.
Connections to the indoor unit
- Remove the indoor unit pipe cap (check that there is no debris inside).
- Insert the fare nut and create a flange at the extreme end of the connection pipe.
- Tighten the connections by using two wrenches working in opposite directions.
- For R32/R290 refrigerants, mechanical connectors should be outdoors.
Indoor unit condensed water drainage
The indoor unit condensed water drainage is fundamental for the success of the installation.
- Place the drain hose below the piping, taking care not to create siphons.
- The drain hose must slant downwards to aid drainage.
- Do not bend the drain hose or leave it protruding or twisted and do not put the end of it in water. If an extension is connected to the drain hose, ensure that it is lagged when it passes into the indoor unit.
- If the piping is installed to the right, the pipes, power cable and drain hose must be lagged and secured onto the rear of the unit with a pipe connection.
1) Insert the pipe connection into the relative slot.
2) Press to join the pipe connection to the base.

INSTALLATION MANUAL---Installation of the outdoor unit
- The outdoor unit should be installed on a solid wall and fastened securely.
- The following procedure must be observed before connecting the pipes and connecting cables: decide which is the best position on the wall and leave enough space to be able to carry out maintenance easily.
- Fasten the support to the wall using screw anchors which are particularly suited to the type of wall;
- Use a larger quantity of screw anchors than normally required for the weight they have to bear to aviod vibration during operation and remain fastened in the same position for years without the screws becoming loose.
- The unit must be installed following the national regulations.
- The outdoor unit should be installed on a solid wall and fastened securely, of on the ground on a flat/level surface like a concrete slab. The bolt size is M8*80mm.
