INSTALLATION OF THE INDOOR UNIT
To fix up the door unit, select an obstructed area of your inner wall. The position you choose to install your indoor unit should be away from direct sunlight and free from possible gas or oil leaks. The unit will require a minimum of fifteen centimeters on the top and sides and seven feet from the floor. The wall you choose to mount the indoor unit should be strong enough and away from the TV and telephone antennae.

Holes are drilled at appropriate parts of the walls, and the mounting plate is secured on your walls. Plastic anchors are inserted on the holes with tapping screws to secure the plate. A hole is created on the wall that will fit the piping. When creating this hole, the length of the pipe and the distance it will cover to reach the outdoor unit gets considered.
The flexible flange gets inserted, and the electrical connections are checked to avoid mistakes. This is by lifting the front panel to ensure the wires and screws match those of the diagram from the instructions that accompany the AC unit. The pipes are put through the holes that get drilled on the wall. The cap is placed on the interior end making sure it is as straight as possible. The drain pipes, copper pipes, and power cables are bound together for better flow of the system. The water pipes are connected to the base and run through the holes on the wall to ensure water drains out properly.

OUTDOOR CONDENSER INSTALLATION
Choose the appropriate place to put the outdoor unit. The location should be away from dusty and hot areas. The proper spacing should be twelve inches all around. The installation experts ensure the concrete is level. To evade the winter snow the pad is placed high enough. The outdoor condenser should be placed ten feet away from an antenna.
The cover is removed to start connections, and all the cables are connected similar to what the manual diagram suggests. The wires are fastened using a clamp, and the pipes of the outdoor units get secured. The refrigerant circuit is humidified by connecting the vacuum pump to the port to complete the installation process. The vacuum is turned up to the required level close the pressure knob and testing for leaks of the valves, and joints are done. The piping joints are wrapped using the insulating paper, and finally, the walls are sealed with polyurethane foam.
