• Do not position where the discharge air could blow
directly on the thermostat.
• The unit should not be positioned directly above any
obstruction.
• The unit must be installed square and level.
• The condensate drain should have sufficient downward
slope (1 in. per 100 in.) in any horizontal run between
unit and drain.

MOUNTING UNIT (UNDER CEILING MOUNT) —
The unit can now be lifted on to the hanging rods for under
ceiling mounting.
1. Use rods and fasteners for under ceiling mount to suspend
the hanging bracket.
2. Secure the hanging brackets in position with locknuts and
washers on both sides. Ensure the threaded rod does not
protrude more than 1 in. below the mounting hole on the
hanging bracket as shown in Fig. 7.
