Installation Instructions
INSTALL THE MOUNTING PLATE
Always mount the mounting plate horizontally.

INSTALL THE TUBING HOLE
Make the tubing hole in the wall at a slight
downward slant to the outdoor side.
To let water drain and prevent damage to wiring
and tubing, insert a 2

2plastic pipe, cut to a
length equal to the wall depth. Insert the tubing
and wiring through the pipe.
Copper tubing should be capped until ready to
install flare fitting, to prevent contamination.

INSTALL THE DRAINAGE HOSE
For good drainage, the drain hose should be
placed at a downward slant.
Do not wrench or bend the drain hose or allow
it to contact standing water.
The extended drainage tube in the room should
