Step 3: Drill wall hole for connective piping
1. Determine the location of the wall hole based
on the position of the mounting plate. Refer to
the Mounting Plate Dimensions.
2. Use a 2.5 inches or 3.54 inches (depending on
models ) core drill to drill a hole in the wall.
Make sure that 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
0.2 to 0.275 inches. This will ensure proper
water drainage.
3. Place the
protective wall cuffprotective wall cuff in the hole. This
protects the edges of the hole and will help

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.
1. Based on the position of the wall hole relative
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. This will create a slot through which your
piping can exit the unit. Use needle nose pliers

CAUTION
Be extremely careful not to dent or damage the
piping while bending them away from the unit.
Any dents in the piping will affect the unit’s
performance.
Step 5: Connect the drain hose
By default, the drain hose is attached to the left-
hand side of unit (when you’re facing the back
of the unit). However, it can also be attached to
the right-hand side. To ensure proper drainage,
attach the drain hose on the same side that your
refrigerant piping exits the unit. Attach drain hose
extension (purchased separately) to the end of
drain hose.

If you install new connective piping to the outdoor
unit, take the following steps:
1. If you have already passed the refrigerant
piping through the hole in the wall, proceed to
below Step 4.
2. Otherwise, double-check that the ends of the
refrigerant pipes are sealed to prevent dirt or
foreign materials from entering the pipes.
3. Slowly pass the wrapped bundle of refrigerant

and cause injury. Use a vacuum pump and manifold
gauge to evacuate the refrigerant circuit, removing
any incondensable gas and moisture from the
system. Evacuation should be performed upon
initial installation and when unit is relocated.
Before Performing Evacuation
Check to make sure the connective pipes
between the indoor and outdoor units are
connected properly .
Check to make sure all wiring is connected
properly.
Evacuation Instructions
1. Connect the charge hose of the manifold
gauge to the service port on the outdoor unit’s
low pressure valve.
2. Connect another charge hose from the
manifold gauge to the vacuum pump.
3. Open the Low Pressure side of the manifold
gauge. Keep the High Pressure side closed.
4. Turn on the vacuum pump to evacuate the
system.
5. Run the vacuum for at least 15 minutes, or

7. Wait for 5 minutes, then check that there has
been no change in system pressure.
8. If there is a change in system pressure, refer
to Gas Leak Check section for information on
how to check for leaks. If there is no change
in system pressure, unscrew the cap from the
packed valve (high pressure valve).
9. Insert hexagonal wrench into the packed valve
(high pressure valve) and open the valve by

13. Tighten valve caps on all three valves (service
port, high pressure, low pressure) by hand. You
may tighten it further using a torque wrench if
needed.
OPEN VALVE STEMS GENTLY
When opening valve stems, turn the hexagonal
wrench until it hits against the stopper. Do not try
to force the valve to open further.

Note on Adding Refrigerant
Some systems require additional charging depending on pipe lengths. The standard pipe length varies
according to local regulations. For example, in North America, the standard pipe length is 25ft. In other
areas, the standard pipe length is 16ft. The refrigerant should be charged from the service port on the
outdoor unit’s low pressure valve. The additional refrigerant to be charged can be calculated using the

The indoor unit emits
white mist
In humid regions, a large temperature difference between the room’s air and
the conditioned air can cause white mist.
Both the indoor and
outdoor units emit
white mist
When the unit restarts in HEAT mode after defrosting, white mist may be
emitted due to moisture generated from the defrosting process.
The indoor unit makes
noises
A rushing air sound may occur when the louver resets its position.
A squeaking sound may occur after running the unit in HEAT mode due to
expansion and contraction of the unit’s plastic parts.
Both the indoor unit
and outdoor unit make
