- Lift the indoor unit by hooking the supporting piece (attached to the mount
board) to the ribs on the back of the unit as shown. (Fig. 3-6)
When piping work etc. is complete, replace the supporting piece on the
mount board.
(If the unit is not fi xed securely, vibration may occur during operation.)

If the fl are pipe is to be embedded into the wall in advance: (Fig. 3-7)
• Determine the length of pipe to be embedded by marking on the mounting plate

4.1. Connecting pipes (Fig. 4-1)
• When commercially available copper pipes are used, wrap liquid and gas pipes
with commercially available insulation materials (heat-resistant to 100 °C or more,
thickness of 12 mm or more).
• The indoor parts of the drain pipe should be wrapped with polyethylene foam in-
sulation materials (specifi c gravity of 0.03, thickness of 9 mm or more).
• Apply thin layer of refrigerant oil to pipe and joint seating surface before tighten-
ing fl are nut.
• Use two wrenches to tighten piping connections.
• Use refrigerant piping insulation provided to insulate indoor unit connections. In-
sulate carefully.
