INSTALLATION
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.
