Indoor Unit Installation
Refer to Fig. 4.2 to ensure proper distance from walls, ceiling, and floor when mounting unit:
NOTE FOR CONCRETE OR BRICK WALLS:
If the wall is made of brick, concrete, or a similar
material, drill 0.2 in (5 mm) diameter holes in the
wall and insert the sleeve anchors provided.
Secure the mounting plate to the wall by
tightening the screws directly into the anchors.

CAUTION
When drilling the wall hole, be sure to
avoid wires, plumbing, nails, screws, and
other sensitive components.

Step 3: Drill Wall Hole for Connective Piping
You must drill a hole in the wall for the refrigerant
piping, drainage pipe, and signal cable to pass through
in order to connect the indoor and outdoor units.
Determine the location of the wall hole based on
the position of the mounting plate. Refer to the
Mounting Plate Dimensions (See Fig 5.5) to
assist you in determining the optimal position for
the hole, based on the type of mounting plate
provided with your unit.
Using a core drill, with a 3.54 in (90 mm)
diameter, drill a hole in the wall at a slight
downward angle, so that the indoor end of the
hole is higher than the outdoor end of the hole,
by approximately 0.2 in to 0.275 in (5 mm to 7
mm). This will ensure proper water drainage from
the indoor unit (See Fig. 5.3).
Insert the protective wall sleeve through the
hole of the inside wall, noting the amount it
protrudes from the exterior wall. Then, trim the
excess, with a utility knife or a saw, to make it
flush with the exterior wall. This will protect the
edges of the hole and help seal it when you
finish the installation process (See Fig 5.4).

NOTE
A cardboard template of the mounting plate is
included to be used as a more manageable way of
determining where to mount the mounting plate
and drill the wall hole. It can be placed against the
wall in place of the actual mounting plate for the
previous step (See Fig 5.1).

Step 2: Attach Mounting Plate to Wall
You must drill a hole in the wall for the refrigerant
piping, drainage pipe, and signal cable to pass
through in order to connect the indoor and outdoor
units.
1. Remove the screw that attaches the mounting
plate to the back of the indoor unit.
2. Place the mounting plate against the wall in a
location that meets the guidelines in the
Selecting an Installation Location step. Refer
to the Mounting Plate Dimensions section for
detailed information on mounting plate sizes.
3. Drill holes for wall plate mounting screws in places
that have the following:
• studs that can support the weight of the unit.
• correspond to the holes in the mounting plate.
4. Secure the mounting plate to the wall with the
supplied screws.
5. Make sure that the mounting plate is flat against
the wall.
