- Do not allow the drain line to be kinked or flattened which
could reduce the flow of water from the indoor unit (see
Figure 9.3).

- For drain pipes run to ground level outside, install the
condensed water pipe in such a way that the distance of its

Making holes for the pipes

• Case A: Pipework exiting from the rear of the unit.
In this case, a suitable hole must be made in the wall behind the
unit (see Figures 9.6 and 9.7).
- Drill a hole in accordance with the diameter and position as
indicated in Figures 9.6 and 9.7, ensure the hole is slightly
descending to the outside to allow for a fall in the drain line.
The dimensions are given in mm.
