Room Air Conditioner

Installation   

Preparation of chassis

CAUTION: To avoid the
possibiity of personal injury,
unplug power to unit before
installing or servicing.

Pick a location which will allow you to blow the cold
air into the area you want. Windows used for
installation must be strong enough to support the
weight of the air conditioner. Good installation with
special attention to the proper position of the unit will
lessen the chance that service will be needed.

When cooling more than one room, installation
location is very important. To cool your rooms, cold
air must be blown from the air conditioner in a
straight path.

How to Install

If the air conditioner is blocked by a storm window
frame, see step 13 on page 14 before beginning to

window (See FIG. 3).
