Installation Guide
Tools Needed:
- Adjustable wrench
- Level
- Screwdrivers (flat and Phillips)
- Drill with hole saw
- Vacuum pump and gauge manifold
- Tape measure
Step-by-Step Installation
- Choose Installation Location: Select a location on a solid wall with proper clearance from obstructions, near electrical connection, and with proper drainage access.
- Mount Indoor Unit Bracket: Securely mount the bracket to the wall using appropriate anchors and ensure it is perfectly level.
- Drill Wall Hole: Drill a hole through the wall for refrigerant piping, drainage hose, and electrical wiring.
- Connect Refrigerant Piping: Connect the refrigerant pipes between indoor and outdoor units, ensuring flare connections are tight and leak-free.
- Connect Drain Hose: Route the drain hose with a downward slope to ensure proper drainage.
- Electrical Connection: Connect to a properly grounded dedicated circuit as specified in the electrical requirements.
- Vacuum and Charge: Evacuate the system using a vacuum pump and charge with refrigerant according to specifications.
- Test Run: Run the air conditioner through all modes to check for proper operation, cooling/heating performance, and drainage.
