Fixing Installation Plate The wall you select should be strong and solid enough to prevent vibration 1. Mount the installation plate on the wall with type "A" screws. If mounting the unit on a concrete wall, use anchor bolts. • Mount the installation plate horizontally by aligning the centerline using a level.
Installation Flaring Work Main cause for gas leakage is due to defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the following procedure. Cut the pipes and the cable. 1. Use the piping kit accessory or the pipes purchased locally. 2.
Connecting the Piping Indoor Unit 1. Prepare the indoor unit's piping and drain hose for installation through the wall. 2. Remove the plastic tubing retainer(see the illustration by) and pull the tubing and drain hose away from chassis. 3. Replace only the plastic tubing holder 1, not the holder 2 in the original position.

Installation 4. Indoor unit installation Hook the indoor unit onto the upper portion of the installation plate.(Engage the two hooks of the rear top of the indoor unit with the upper edge of the installation plate.) Ensure that the hooks are properly seated on the installation plate by moving it left and right.

Wrap the insulation material around the connecting portion. 1. Overlap the connection pipe heat insulation and the indoor unit pipe heat insulation material. Bind them together with vinyl tape so that there may be no gap. 2. Wrap the area which accommodates the rear piping housing section with vinyl tape.
Installation Installation Information. For left piping. Follow the instruction below. Good case • Press on the upper side of clamp and unfold the tubing to downward slowly. Bad case • Following bending type from right to left may cause damage to the tubing. Installation Manual 17...
Installation Outdoor Unit Align the center of the pipings and sufficiently tighten the flare nut by hand. Finally, tighten the flare nut with torque wrench until the wrench clicks. • When tightening the flare nut with torque wrench, ensure the direction for tightening follows the arrow on the wrench.
Connecting the Cables Indoor Unit Connect the cable to the indoor unit by connecting the wires to the terminals on the control board individually according to the outdoor unit connection. (Ensure that the color of the wires of the outdoor unit and the terminal No. are the same as those of the indoor unit.) •...

Installation Outdoor Unit 1. Remove the control cover from the unit by loosening the screw. Connect the wires to the terminals on the control board individually. 2. Secure the cable onto the control board with the cord clamp. 3. Refix the control cover to the original position with the screw.
Checking the Drainage To check the drainage. 1. Pour a glass of water on the evaporator. 2. Ensure the water flows through the drain hose of the indoor unit without any leakage and goes out the drain exit. Drain piping 1.
Installation Forming the Piping Form the piping by wrapping the connecting portion of the indoor unit with insulation material and secure it with two kinds of vinyl tapes. • If you want to connect an additional drain hose, the end of the drain outlet should be routed above the ground.
Air Purging Air purging The air and moisture remaining in the refrigerant system have undesirable effects as indicated below. 1. Pressure in the system rises. 2. Operating current rises. 3. Cooling(or heating) efficiency drops. 4. Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze and block capillary tubing. 5.
Installation Soap water method 1. Remove the caps from the 2-way and 3-way valves. 2. Remove the service-port cap from the 3-way valve. 3. To open the 2-way valve turn the valve stem counterclockwise approximately 90°, wait for about 2~3 sec, and close it. 4.
Test Running 1. Check that all tubing and wiring are properly connected. 2. Check that the gas and liquid side service valves are fully open. Prepare remote controller 1. Remove the battery cover by pulling it according to the arrow direction. 2.
NOTICE If the actual pressure is higher than shown, the system is most likely over-charged, and charge should be removed. If the actual pressure are lower than shown, the system is most likely undercharged, and charge should be added. PUMP DOWN This is performed when the unit is relocated or the refrigerant circuit is serviced.
Sea wind 3) Select a well-drained place. 1. If you can’t meet above guide line in the seaside installation, please contact LG Electronics for the additional anticorrosion treatment. 2. Periodic ( more than once/year ) cleaning of the dust or salt particles stuck on the heat...
