2 INSTALLATION

1INSTALL THE MOUNTING PLATE

•Always mount the mounting plate horizontally.

•Attach the mounting plate at the selected location with screws supplied with the unit .

•Be sure that the mounting plate has been attached firmly enough to withstand the weight of an adult of 130 lbs. Also, the weight should be evenly shared by each screw.

2INSTALL THE TUBING HOLE

•Make the tubing hole in the wall at a slight downward slant to the outdoor side.

3” from right edge to center of right tubing hole

Hole is 2” diameter for 10K and 14K BTU	11⁄2” from bottom
models and 21⁄2” diameter for	edge to center of
20K BTU models.	right tubing hole

•To let water drain and prevent damage to wiring and tubing, insert a 21⁄ 2″ plastic pipe, cut to a length equal to the wall depth. Insert the tubing and wiring through the pipe.

•Copper tubing should be capped until ready to install flare fitting, to prevent contamination.

3INSTALL THE DRAINAGE HOSE

•For good drainage, the drain hose should be placed at a downward slant .

•Do not wrench or bend the drain hose or allow it to contact standing water.

•The extended drainage tube in the room should be wrapped with the insulating materials.
