GENERAL INFORMATION

A. Product features or specifications as described or illustrated are subject to change without notice.

B.This Air Conditioner Is Designed For:

1.Installation on a Caravan during the time theCara- van is manufactured.

2.Mounting on the roof of a Caravan.

3.Roof construction with rafters/joists on minimum of 406mm centers.

4.Minimum of 25mm and maximum of 100mm dis- tance between roof to ceiling of Caravan. Alternate installation methods will allow for roofs more than 100mm thick.

C.The ability of the air conditioner to maintain the desired

inside temperature depends on the heat gain of the Caravan.

Some preventative measures taken by the occupants of the Caravan can reduce the heat gain and improve the performance of the air conditioner. During extremely high outdoor temperatures, the heat gain of the Caravan may be reduced by:

1.Parking the Caravan 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 temperatures.

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.

For a more permanent solution to high heat gain, accessories like an outdoor patio and window awning will reduce heat gain by removing the direct sun. They also add a nice area to enjoy company during the cool of the evening.

D. 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 Caravan, 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.
