Understand Signal Words

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

A.THIS AIR CONDITIONER IS DESIGNED FOR:

1.Installation on a recreational vehicle during the time the vehicle is manufactured.

2.Mounting on the roof of a recreational vehicle.

3.Roof construction with rafters/joists on minimum of 16 inch centers.

4.Minimum of 2.00 inches and maximum of 4.00 inches distance between roof to ceiling of recreational vehicle. Alternate in- stallation methods will allow for roofs more than 4.00 inches thick.

B.The ability of the air conditioner to maintain the desired inside temperature depends on the heat gain of the RV. Some preventative measures taken by the occupants of the RV can reduce the heat gain and improve the performance of the air conditioner. During extremely high outdoor temperatures, the heat gain of the vehicle may be reduced by:

1.Parking the RV in a shaded area

2.Using window shades (blinds and/or curtains)

3.Keeping windows and doors shut or minimizing usage

4.Avoiding the use of heat producing appliances

Operation on High Fan/Cooling mode will give optimum or maximum efficiency in high humidity or high outside temperature.

A signal word , WARNING OR CAUTION is used with the safety-alert symbol. They give the level of risk for potential injury.

Starting the air conditioner early in the morning and giving it a “head start” on the expected high outdoor ambient will greatly improve its ability to maintain the desired indoor temperature.

used without the safety alert symbol indicates, a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided may result in property damage.

Read and follow all safety information and instructions.

For a more permanent solution to a high heat gain, accessories like A&E outdoor patio and window aw- nings will reduce heat gain by removing the direct exposure to the sun. They also add a nice area to enjoy company during the cool of the evening.

C. Condensation

Note: The manufacturer of this air conditioner will not be responsible for damage caused by condensed moisture on ceilings or other surfaces. Air contains moisture and this moisture tends to condense on cold surfaces. When air enters the RV, condensed moisture may appear on the ceiling, windows, metal parts, etc. The air conditioner removes this moisture from the air during normal operation. Keeping doors and windows closed when this air conditioner is in operation will minimize condensed moisture on cold surfaces.
