8 Installation Instructions
8.1. Choosing the Installation Location
• When installing, use the nearest power outlet. Make sure the power outlet is easy to reach so you can quickly disconnect your
air conditioner in case of emergency.
• Ensure that the air conditioner is well supported, securely fastened, easily reachable and not obstructed.
• Avoid locations with: salty or sulphurous air, draughts, dampness and flammable gas.
• If you install the drainage system, be sure to channel the condensed water to a suitable location
• Covers, obstructions and unsteady support may cause excessive operating noise and vibration.
• The rear end of the air conditioner is splash proof. You need not shield or cover it.

• Slide the chassis into the cabinet. • Attach the air filter to the front grille.
• Reinstall the cabinet screws. Secure the cabinet to chassis
by using screws (from rear cabinet).
• Slide the front intake grille slightly to the right to reattach the
tabs and then push it down to close tight
Depending upon the location of the AC outlet, route the AC
cord to either the left or right side while installing the front grille.
• Place the front grille on the cabinet first. Secure the front
grille to the main chassis using screw provided.

conditioning circuit.
• Some installation locations may require the installation of a
short-circuit breaker.
• A 16 Ampere time delay fuse or circuit breaker is required.
• Nominal cross sectional area of power supply wire must be
3 core x 1.0 mm2 or above.
• The power supply must be from an independent circuit.
• All electrical installations must be made in accordance with
local wiring and safety regulations wherever applicable.
• There must be a double pole switch with a minimum of 3
mm contact gap in the fixed installation circuit.
• Please engage an authorized dealer or specialist for the
installation work.
