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.
E. Be certain
the proper
electrical
outlet
is within
reach
of the installation.
Use only a single
outlet
circuit
rated
at proper
current
(see table
1 on page 4).
All wiring
should
be in accordance
with local and national
electrical
codes.
F. Your unit was designed to evaporate condensation
under normal conditions.
However, under extreme
humidity conditions, excess condensation
may cause
the basepan to overflow to the outside.
The unit should be installed where condensation
run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighboring
properties.
B. Make sure window and frame is 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.
See (Fig.B). 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.
