Ins tallation ins tructions

B ecause the compressor is located on the 
controls side of the unit (right side), this side
will be heavier and more awkward to manipulate.
Inadequate support on control side of the unit
can result in personal injury and damage to your
unit and property. T herefore, it is recommended 
to have someone assist you during the installation
of this unit.

F. Your unit was designed to evaporate condensation 
under normal conditions.  However, under extreme 
humidity conditions, excess condensation may cause 
the  base pan to overflow to the outside.
T he unit should be installed where condensation
run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighboring
properties.

1. S elect the B es t L ocation
A. Your room air conditioner was 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 and proper
installation.

B . Make sure the  window and frame are structurally
sound and free from dry and rotted wood.

C . F or maximum efficiency, install the air conditioner
on side of the 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. P rovide sufficient clearance around the cabinet
to allow for ample air circulation through the unit.
S ee (F ig.2).  T he rear of the unit should be outdoors
and not in a garage nor inside of a building.
K eep unit as far away as possible from obstacles
and obstructions and at least 30" above the floor or 
ground. C urtains and other objects within a room
should be prevented from blocking the air flow.

E . B e 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.
