CAUTION POINT DURING INSTALLATION
When installing air-conditioner at glass window or thin
partition, fix the vertical & side supporting bar to the
concrete wall in order to support the weight of the air-
conditioner and reduce the vibration that is being
transferred to the glass window or thin partition.
This can minimize the noise problem caused by improper
installation.
• Proposed to use 1/8” x 1-1/4” “angle-
aluminium” for installation frame and
side supporting bar.
