INSTALLATION
• Do not bend the piping directly backwards or to the left or right sides without bending it downward first; this will damage the indoor unit
piping.
• Do not forcibly press the refrigerant piping onto the bottom frame or the front grille; this will damage the indoor unit piping and / or indoor
unit frame.
• Ensure the piping is straight.
Do not kink the piping; this will damage the indoor unit and piping.
Figure 29: Improper Piping Bending. Figure 30: Keep Piping Straight; Avoid Kinks.
Piping Installation When Piping is on the Left Side
• See the Electrical System Installation section for information on how
to connect the communication / connection (power) cable from the
outdoor unit.
• For left-side piping, it is recommended that the communication /
power connections are complete before starting the piping connec-
tions.
1. Insert drain hose on left (feature will differ depending on model of
indoor unit).
2. Align the center of the refrigerant piping and corresponding con-
