Choose a location with studs to ensure the wall is strong enough to hold the weight of the unit. Install the unit at least 3. 3 feet (1. 0 m) away from antennas and power or connecting lines that are used for television, radio, home security systems, intercoms, or telephones. The electrical noise from these sources could cause operational problems for your air conditioner. Avoid locations where gas may leak or where oil mist or sulfur exists. Most of these units have remote controls so that you can easily turn them on or off and adjust the temperature even if they’re mounted high on the wall.
Position the plate so it matches up with the holes, insert plastic anchors into the holes, and secure the plate to the wall with tapping screws.
Make sure there are no pipes or wires behind the wall before drilling or cutting the hole.
Each line comes pre-insulated, so you don’t have to worry about adding extra insulation. Do your best to minimize how much the pipes and cable bend to ensure that the unit performs well. Make sure that the drainage pipe allows water to drain in an appropriate place. See the instruction manual included with your kit for more information.
It may help to have a friend hold the unit in place while you secure the connections.
Make sure that no antenna of a radio or television is within 10 feet (3. 0 m) of the outdoor condenser.
Fasten the cables with a cable clamp and replace the cover.
Finally, connect the power supply to a designated outlet. If necessary, you can trim the copper pipes to eliminate excess.
Test all of the valves and joints for leaks, then disconnect the vacuum. Replace the service port and caps.
Let the foam dry as per the instructions on the label before turning on your air conditioning.
Refer to the instruction manual if you have any trouble operating your new air conditioner.
