Your unit is designed to evaporate condensation
under normal conditions. However, under
extreme humidity conditions, excess condensation
may cause basepan to overflow to the outside.
The Unit should be installed where condensation
run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighboring
properties.
Select the Best 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 a house or building which favors
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"
(76.2 cm)
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.
F.
DO NOT USE "REGULAR" EXTENSION CORDS
WITH THIS UNIT. If it is necessary to use an
extension cord to connect your air conditioner,
use an approved "air conditioner" extension cord
only. (available at most local hardware stores)
G. DO NOT
install unit where leakage of combustible
gas is suspected. Your air conditioner may fail to
operate in air containing oils (including machine
oils), sulfide gas, near hot springs, etc...
