4.2 Indoor Unit Installation
- Remove the mounting bracket from the back of the indoor unit.
- Use the provided paper pattern/template to identify the exact location for drilling holes for the mounting bracket and piping.
- Drill screw holes in the corresponding positions and insert expansion tubes.
- Securely mount the bracket on the wall using expansion screws.
- Drill a wall hole for the refrigerant pipes, ensuring it is inclined outward by 5-10 degrees with a diameter of 60-80mm. Use an anti-dust bag to collect debris.
- Confirm the direction for placing the air conditioning ducts and remove the knock-out panel with a knife, removing any burrs to prevent damage to the drain pipe.
- Pass the communication cable through the hole on the back of the indoor unit and connect the wires to the terminal board according to the color-coded wiring diagram. Secure the wires with the fixing plate.
- Connect the drain hose to the water outlet pipe, ensuring a tight fit.
- Line up all wires and pipes neatly, wrap them together with plastic tapes, and pass them through the wall hole.
- Hang the indoor unit on the mounting plate, ensuring it clicks firmly into place.
- Use pipe protection rings and putty to seal the wall hole around the pipes.

4.3 Outdoor Unit Installation
- Place the outdoor unit in a suitable location, either on a wall bracket (purchased separately) or directly on the ground. Ensure the location is firm and flat to prevent vibration and noise.
- Maintain adequate clearance around the outdoor unit. Refer to the dimension drawing for specific clearances.
- Connect the two refrigerant pipes (gas and liquid) to the outdoor unit, ensuring the joints fit snugly and are tightened with a wrench.
- Remove the electrical box cover by unscrewing the three screws.
- Pass the power cable wires through the cover hole (usually the right-hand hole) and fix the wires to the terminal board according to the wiring diagram. Secure the fixing plate.

4.4 Vacuuming and Refrigerant Release
- Connect the stop valve, charging hose, manifold valve, and vacuum pump as shown in the diagram.
- Vacuumize the system for at least 15 minutes, ensuring the pressure gauge value is ≤ -0.1MPa (-76cmHg / 500µm).
- Maintain the pressure for 3-5 minutes after vacuumizing. The pressure springback should be ≤ 0.05MPa.
- Open the 1/4 liquid valve and remove the charging hose.
- Using an Allen wrench, open all the liquid valves and gas valves. Finally, retighten the three caps.
