INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

! CAUTION !

Because the compressor is located on the controls side of the unit (right side), this side will be heavier and more awkward to manipulate. Inadequate support on control side of the unit can result in personal injury and damage to your unit and property. Therefore, it is recommended to have someone assist you during the installation of this unit.

1. Select the Best Location

E. Be certain the proper electrical outlet is within reach of the installation. Use only a single outlet circuit rated at proper current (see table 1 on page 4). All wiring should be in accordance with local and national electrical codes.

F. Your unit was designed to evaporate condensation under normal conditions. However, under extreme humidity conditions, excess condensation may cause the basepan to overflow to the outside.

The unit should be installed where condensation run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighboring properties.

A. Your room air conditioner was designed to

fit easily into a single or double hung window. However, since window designs vary, it may be necessary to make some modifications for safe and proper installation.

B. Make sure window and frame is structurally sound and free from dry and rotted wood.

C. For maximum efficiency, install the air conditioner on side of the house or building which favors more shade than sunlight. If the unit is in direct sunlight, it is advisable to provide an awning over the unit.

D. Provide sufficient clearance around the cabinet to allow for ample air circulation through the unit. See (Fig.B). The rear of the unit should be outdoors and not in a garage nor inside of a building.

Keep unit as far away as possible from obstacles and obstructions and at least 30" above the floor or ground. Curtains and other objects within a room should be prevented from blocking the air flow.
