4. Checking the Drainage and Forming the Pipings
1) Checking the drainage
1.To remove the front panel from the indoor unit.
•Set the air direction louvers
•Remove the securing screws that retain the front pan- el. Pull the lower left and right sides of the grille toward you and lift it off.

2.To check the drainage.
•Pour a glass of water on the evaporator.
•Ensure the water flows through the drain hose of the indoor unit without any leakage and goes out the drain exit.
2) Form the piping
1.Form the piping by wrapping the connecting por- tion of the indoor unit with insulation material and secure it with two kinds of vinyl tapes.
•If you want to connect an additional drain hose, the end of the drain outlet should be routed above the ground. Secure the drain hose appropriately.
2.In cases where the outdoor unit is installed below the indoor unit perform the following.
•Tape the piping, drain hose and connecting cable from down to up.
•Secure the tapped piping along the exterior wall using saddle or equivalent.
Seal small openings around pipings with a gum type sealer.
