The thermostat has no "off" position; therefore it will begin to run within 5 minutes of being plugged in. Allow it to run for
a minimum of 15 minutes. There should be a flow of cool air from the evaporator side upper grille (see Fig. 1) and warm air
should be flowing from the upper opening on the warm air exhaust (condenser) grille (see Fig. 3). If there is no airflow or
no change in temperature on either side, contact your dealer.

BREEZAIRE
units should
NOT
be installed in a fire rated wall without consulting your local building inspector and
building codes.
F
If your installation cannot be performed in accordance with these instructions contact your dealer.
F
The unit must be installed in the upright position and is not designed to have ductwork on either the warm air or cold
air sides. Do not drill any holes in the cooling unit. It may damage the unit, promotes rust, and will void the
warranty. Do not install the unit so that its removal will be difficult or impossible. It may be necessary to
periodically remove the unit to clean the condenser coil.
F
Select a place to mount the unit where the airflow from the warm air exhaust is unobstructed for a minimum of 3 feet.
The area into which the unit exhausts must be well ventilated. If not, the unit will be unable to reject the excessive
moisture and heat, resulting in unsatisfactory performance.
F
An inappropriate location for the warm air exhaust includes unventilated laundry rooms, closets, bathrooms, garages,
crawl spaces, attics and humid basements.
F
Additionally, cold air flowing from the upper
cold side grille must remain unobstructed for 3
feet. It is preferred that the unit be mounted
near the ceiling and as close to equal distance
from each end of the wall as possible. If
necessary, the WK3000, WK4000, WK6000,
and WK8000 may be mounted near the floor if
the upper grille is interchanged with the blank
off plate so that the cold air will be directed up
(see Fig. 1). There should be nothing above
the unit to block airflow. Remove the
insulation under the blank off plate with a
knife.
F
Make sure that the warm air exhaust condenser grille can be properly attached to the unit (see Fig. 3).
F
Make a hole through the wall as illustrated in Fig. 2. The dimensions of the hole should be approximately 1/4 inch
larger than the width and height given in the specifications. If the unit is to be installed above floor level, construct a
shelf as shown in Fig. 3. This shelf must be capable of supporting the weight indicated in the specifications. NOTE:
Insulation placed between the unit and the shelf will reduce additional noise and help reduce condensate from forming
on the underside of the unit.
F
Cut a hole in the shelve that corresponds to the Pull down drain tube's location on the underside of the unit. Refer to
section "ENCLOSURE PROBLEMS".
F
Place the unit through the opening with the warm air exhaust side, flush to the outside of the wall (see Fig. 3). Attach
the warm air exhaust condenser grille to the unit and to the wall with screws supplied with grille. Note: the unit may
be installed with the cold side flush to the inside wall, however, two provisions must be made. First, insure the warm
air exhaust grille will be installed. Second, insulate and vapor barrier the framed opening to prevent moisture in the
wall from condensing on the cold surface of the cooling unit. Please remember that in all cases the warm air exhaust
condenser grille must be directly attached to the warm side of the unit. Do not leave an air gap between the unit's
surface and the warm air exhaust condenser grille
. The unit will not work properly without this grille.
The
exhaust condenser grille has only a white primer coat. If the exhaust condenser grille is installed on an outside wall it
should be coated with an appropriate paint.
F
Seal the opening around the unit with high quality weather stripping and cover with an appropriate molding.
Attach the molding to the wall, not the unit.
F
Plug the unit's electrical cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet of adequate capacity (see unit specification for
unit electrical requirements)
(CAUTION) If the operation of the unit is stopped, either by unplugging it or by
turning the thermostat, do not restart it for at lease 10 minutes.
