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.
F)
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.

NOTE: 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
pedestrains or neighboring properties.
