CAUTION
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.
Your unit is designed to evaporate condensation
under normal conditions. However, under
extreme humidity conditions, excess condensation
may cause basepan to overflow to the outside.
The Unit should be installed where condensation
run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighboring
properties.
A drain tube connection (excluding hose) is provided
to redirect condensation overflow. See Fig. 25.
Select the Best Location
A. This 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 modifications for safe, proper
installation.
B. Make sure window and frame are structurally
sound and free from dry and rotted wood.
C. For maximum efficiency, install the air conditioner
on a side of a 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.
See Fig. 2. The rear of the unit should be
outdoors and not in a garage nor inside a
building. Keep unit as far away as possible from
obstacles/obstructions and at least 30” (76.2cm)
above the floor or ground. Curtains and other
objects wothin 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.
F. DO NOT USE "REGULAR" EXTENSION CORDS
WITH THIS UNIT If it is necessary to use an
extension cord to connect your air conditioner,
use an approved "air conditioner" extension cord
only, (available at most local hardware stores)
G. DO NOT install unit where leakage of
combustible gas is suspected. Your air
conditioner may fail to operate in air containing
oils (including machine oils), sulfide gas, near hot
springs, etc...
