Installation instructions
Because 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. Therefore, 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.
The unit should be installed where condensation
run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighboring
properties.
1. Select the Best Location
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. For 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. Provide sufficient clearance around the cabinet
to allow for ample air circulation through the unit.

(Fig.2)
. The rear of the unit should be outdoors
and not in a garage nor inside of a building.
Keep unit as far away as possible from obstacles
and 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.
