LOCATION

A)This room air conditioner is 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, proper installation.

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

C)For maximum efficiency, install the air conditioner on a side of the house or building which favours 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. 2). The rear of the unit should be outdoors and not in a garage nor inside a building. Keep unit as far away as possible from obstacles/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.

E)Be certain the proper electrical outlet is within reach of the installation. Use only a single outlet circuit rated at 15 amps. All wiring should be in accordance with local and national electrical codes.

F)DO NOT install unit where leakage of combustible gas is suspected. Your air conditioner may fail to operate in air containing oils (including machine oils), sulfide gas, near hot springs, etc.
