Installation Guide
Tools Needed:
- Adjustable wrench
- Level
- Screwdrivers (flat and Phillips)
- Drill with hole saw
- Tape measure
- Vacuum pump
- Manifold gauge set
Step-by-Step Installation
- Choose Installation Location: Select a location with proper wall support, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, with adequate clearance for airflow.
- Install Mounting Bracket: Securely mount the indoor unit bracket to the wall using appropriate anchors for your wall type.
- Drill Wall Hole: Drill a 70mm hole through the wall at a slight downward angle to the outside for drainage.
- Connect Refrigerant Lines: Connect the copper refrigerant pipes between indoor and outdoor units, ensuring flare connections are tight and leak-free.
- Connect Drainage Pipe: Install the drainage pipe with proper slope (minimum 1/100 gradient) to ensure water flows away from the unit.
- Electrical Connection: Connect to a dedicated 220-240V, 50Hz circuit with proper grounding. Follow local electrical codes.
- Vacuum and Charge: Evacuate the system using a vacuum pump for at least 15 minutes, then release the pre-charged refrigerant.
- Test Operation: Test all functions including cooling, heating, fan speeds, and remote control operation.

Auto Mode
Intelligent mode that automatically selects cooling or heating based on room temperature
Eco Mode
Energy-saving operation that optimizes performance for maximum efficiency
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit not turning on | Power outage, circuit breaker tripped, remote control batteries dead | Check power supply, reset circuit breaker, replace remote batteries |
| Poor cooling/heating | Dirty filters, blocked airflow, refrigerant leak, outdoor unit obstructed | Clean filters, clear obstructions, check for leaks, ensure outdoor unit clearance |
| Water leaking indoors | Clogged drain pipe, improper installation slope, frozen evaporator | Clean drain pipe, ensure proper slope, check for ice buildup |
| Unusual noises | Loose parts, debris in fan, vibration from mounting | Tighten all screws, clean fan blades, check mounting stability |
| Foul odors | Dirty filters, mold growth in drain pan, stagnant water | Clean/replace filters, use self-cleaning function, ensure proper drainage |
| Remote not working | Dead batteries, signal obstruction, remote sensor issue | Replace batteries, ensure line of sight, check indoor unit sensor |
