additional refrigerant charge must be added. For every meter of
additional distance, it is necessary to include an extra 12 grams of
refrigerant charge.
3 Installation
3.1 Before installation
CAUTION
Risk of injury from sharp edges!
▶ Wear protective gloves during installation.
CAUTION
Danger of burns!
During operation the pipes become hot.
▶ Make sure, that the pipes cooled down before touching them.
▶ Check the scope of delivery for damage.
▶ Check whether a hissing sound due to negative pressure can be
detected when opening the pipes of the indoor unit.
3.2 Requirements for installation site
▶ Observe minimum clearances ( Figures 4 to 6).
Indoor Unit
▶ Do not install the indoor unit in a room in which open ignition sources
(for example: open flames, an operating wall mounted gas boiler or
an operating electric heating system) are in operation.
▶ The installation location must not be higher than 2000 m above sea
level.
▶ Keep the air inlet and air outlet clear of any obstacles to allow the air
to circulate freely. Otherwise poor performance and higher noise
levels may occur.
▶ Keep TV, radio and and similar appliances at least 1 m away from the
unit and the remote control.
▶ Mount the indoor unit on a wall that absorbs vibrations.
▶ Take minimum room area into account

If the installation height is lower, the floor area must be accordingly
larger.
Outdoor Unit
▶ The outdoor unit must not be exposed to machine oil vapour, hot
spring vapour, sulphur gas, etc.
▶ Do not install the outdoor unit directly next to water or where it is
exposed to sea air.
▶ The outdoor unit must always be kept free of snow.
▶ There must be no disruption caused by extract air or operating noise.
▶ Air should be able to circulate freely around the outdoor unit, but the
appliance must not be exposed to strong wind.

▶ Condensate that forms during operation must be able to drain off
easily. Lay a drain hose if required. In cold regions, installation of a
drain hose is not advisable as it could freeze.
▶ Place the outdoor unit on a stable base.
3.3 Unit installation
NOTICE
Incorrect assembly can cause material damage.
If the unit is assembled incorrectly, it may fall off the wall.
▶ Only install the unit on a solid flat wall. The wall must be capable of
supporting the weight of the unit.
▶ Only use screws and wall plugs that are suitable for the wall type and
weight of the unit.
3.3.1 Installing the indoor unit
▶ Determine the installation location, taking the minimum clearances
into consideration ( Fig. 4).
▶ Open the box at the top and lift the indoor unit out and up ( Fig. 8).
▶ Place the indoor unit with the moulded parts of the packaging face
down ( Fig. 9).
▶ Undo screw and remove the mounting plate on the rear of the indoor
unit.
▶ Attach the mounting plate centrally with the screws provided and
level out ( Fig. 10).
▶ Fasten the mounting plate with a further four screws and wall plugs
so that the mounting plate lies flat on the wall.
▶ Drill wall outlet for the piping ( Fig. 11).
To ensure proper water drainage, make sure that the outlet is drilled at a
slight downward angle, so that the outdoor end of the hole is lower than
the indoor end by about 5 mm to 7 mm.
▶ Place the protective wall cuff in the outlet to protect the edges of the
outlet and seal.
The pipe fittings on the indoor unit are generally located behind the
indoor unit. We recommend extending the pipes before mounting the
indoor unit.
▶ Establish pipe connections as described in Chapter 3.5.
▶ Bend the piping in the required direction if necessary, and knock out
an opening on the side of the indoor unit ( Fig. 14).
▶ After connecting the piping, proceed with the electrical connection
(Chapter 3.6).
▶ To connect the drain hose, refer to Chapter 3.5.3.
▶ Slowly route the wrapped bundle of piping, drain hose, and signal
wire through the hole in the wall, according to Chapter 64.
▶ Attach the indoor unit to the mounting plate ( Fig. 15).
▶ Using even pressure, push down on the bottom half of the unit. Keep
pushing down until the unit snaps onto the hooks along the bottom of
the mounting plate.
The unit should not jiggle or shift.
▶ Check that unit is hooked firmly on mounting by applying slight
pressure to the left and right-hand sides of the unit.
▶ Fold up the front cover and remove one of the two filter elements
( Fig. 16).
