Your Climette room air conditioner was designed to be
installed in a single or double hung window. This air
conditioner is not designed for use with vertical (slider
type) windows.
WIRING
The air conditioner is powered by plugging it into a
compatible wall outlet. The electrical outlet MUST
match the plug on the unit power cord. See Table 1 for
receptacle types and fuses. The unit nameplate con-
tains unit electrical data, unit ratings, and identifica-
tion numbers. The unit nameplate is located on the
right side of the unit. Do not use a plug adapter or an
extension cord.
Check available power supply and resolve any wiring
problems before installing and operating the air condi-
tioner. If wiring is required, all wiring must comply
with all local and national electrical codes. All wiring
must be installed by a qualified electrician. If you have
any questions regarding the unit electrical data or wir-
ing, consult a qualified electrician before installation.
For your safety, this air conditioner is grounded
through the power cord plug when plugged into a
matching wall outlet. The power cord is 60-in. long.
TABLE 1 — RECEPTACLE TYPE AND FUSES
LOCATION
The room air conditioner is designed to fit easily into a
single or double hung window. However, since window
designs vary, it may be necessary to make some modi-
fications for safe and proper installation.
Make sure the window and frame are structurally
sound and free from dry or rotted wood. Replace wood
if necessary or relocate.
For maximum efficiency, install the air conditioner on
the side of the house or building that has more shade
than sunlight.
Provide sufficient clearance for the air conditioner to
allow proper air circulation through and around the
unit. The rear of the unit must be outdoors (not in a
garage or inside of the building). Provide 20-in. of
clearance on each side of the unit. Provide 20-in. of
clearance from the rear of the unit to any obstruction.
Provide 12-in. of clearance from the top of the unit. See
Fig. 2.
Unit should be at least 30-in. above the floor and out-
side ground.
Curtains and other objects should be moved if they
block indoor airflow.
Unit must be within reach of a proper electrical wall
outlet. Do not use an extension cord.
The unit was designed to evaporate condensation
under normal conditions. Under extreme humidity
conditions, excess condensation may cause the
basepan to overflow to the outside of the unit. The unit
should be installed where condensation drip cannot
cause damage.
WINDOW INSTALLATION
To install the room air conditioner in a window, per-
form the following procedure.
1. Check contents of installation hardware package
provided with air conditioner. See Table 2. Make
sure all the items are provided.
2. Determine which window will be used for installa-
tion. See Location section on this page.
3. Check that the window opening dimensions are
suitable for installation. Fo r CA1216KR units, the
window must be from 24 to 38-in. wide and the
window must open at least 15-in. high. For
CA1216KR units, the window must be from 27 to
41-in. wide and the window must open at least
16-in. high. It is recommended that the window
sill be at least
5
/
8
-in. thick to support the weight
of the air conditioner. See Table 3 for unit
dimensions.
Electrical shock can cause injury or death. Do not
install unit or remove front grille with the power
cord plugged in. Be sure unit is unplugged before
performing any installation or maintenance.
