Installation Guide
Tools Needed:
- Adjustable wrench
- Level
- Screwdrivers (flat and Phillips)
- Drill with hole saw attachment
- Tape measure
- Vacuum pump and gauge manifold
Step-by-Step Installation
- Choose Installation Location: Select a location on an exterior wall that can support the unit's weight and has proper clearance for airflow.
- Install Mounting Bracket: Secure the mounting bracket to the wall using appropriate anchors for your wall type.
- Create Wall Opening: Cut a hole in the wall according to the template provided for the refrigerant lines and drain hose.
- Connect Refrigerant Lines: Connect the pre-charged refrigerant lines between indoor and outdoor units, ensuring tight connections.
- Electrical Connection: Connect to a dedicated 115V, 15A circuit with proper grounding. Follow local electrical codes.
- Drainage Setup: Install drain hose with proper slope away from the unit to ensure water drainage.
- Vacuum and Test: Evacuate the system using a vacuum pump, then release refrigerant and test operation.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit won't turn on | Power issue, remote control batteries dead, circuit breaker tripped | Check power supply, replace remote batteries, reset circuit breaker |
| Poor cooling/heating | Dirty filters, blocked airflow, incorrect temperature setting | Clean filters, clear obstructions, set appropriate temperature |
| Water leaking indoors | Clogged drain line, improper installation slope | Clear drain line, ensure proper drainage slope |
| Unusual noises | Loose parts, debris in fan, vibrating components | Tighten mounting hardware, clear debris, check for vibrations |
| Frozen coils | Dirty filters, low refrigerant, restricted airflow | Clean filters, call for service, ensure proper airflow |
| Remote not working | Dead batteries, signal obstruction, remote sensor issue | Replace batteries, clear line of sight, check sensor |
