STEP 6 Inspect the unit before inserting it into the sleeve. The fan and blower wheel should be manually rotated to insure that they turn freely. Be sure the electrical cord will be out of the way when inserting the unit into the sleeve.
NOTE: For your safety, DO NOT plug the electrical cord into an electrical outlet until installation is complete.
STEP 7 If the unit checks out OK, it is ready to be placed into position on bottom rails of the cabinet and pushed into place.
NOTE: Do all lifting of the unit by the bottom pan only and with assistance or help as necessary (see Figure A).
STEP 8 Install the white chassis seal gasket (item #6, page 6) and the gray window seal gasket (item #5). Carefully insert the white gasket (item #6) between the chassis and the cabinet starting at either bottom corner and go up the side, across the top and down the opposite side. Insert the gray gasket (item #5) between the window sashes as shown in Figure D. If chassis seal gasket is not installed, the operation of the unit will be negatively affected. Also, the operation noise and outside noise will be amplified.
STEP 9 Hold the decorative front as shown in Figure E. Insert the two tabs of the Decorative Front Panel into the slots in the top of the cabinet and lower the bottom of the decorative front to the bottom of the cabinet. Route the electrical cord to the right or left side of the bottom of the cabinet as required by the location of the electrical wall outlet. Use the notches provided at the bottom of the Decorative Front Panel for routing the electrical cord out of the unit. Attach the decorative front to the cabinet with two (2) No. 8 x ½" Phillips head screws (item #2, page 6).
STEP 10 CIRCUIT PROTECTION - If the air conditioner is circuit protected by a fuse, use a "TIME DELAY" fuse or HACR type Circuit Breaker due to momentary high current demand when your air conditioner is started. Before operating your unit, verify the ampere rating of the
