Indoor unit installation

1. Installing the mounting plate

•Hold mounting plate on the wall where unit will be located. Using a level or plumb line, ensure that the plate is level. Once the plate is level, mark holes that will be used to hold plate on the wall.

• Remove plate and drill marked hole at a depth of 1.75 inches.

•Insert the screw plugs into the holes and affix the mounting plate using the tapping screws.

•Once mounting plate is securely fastened to the wall, then locate an area on the wall for the access hole for the refrigeration line/condensate line/wiring bundle.

2. Access hole for refrigeration lines/condensate drain line/wiring bundle.

•These directions must be followed at least for the condensate drain line. There must be rear access for the condensate drain line to drain properly from the unit.

•Decide on a location for the access hole according to the location of the unit.

•Drill an approximately 2.5 inch hole, making sure that there is a tilt downward of a 1/4 inch. This will ensure that proper drainage is maintained for the condedsate drain line. (If you are not using rear access for the refrigeration lines and wiring, hole will does not need to be as large.)

•It is recommended that a wall sleeve of some sort (i.e. PVC pipe) be used to keep the hole neat and tidy.
