1. This room air conditioner is designed to fi t easily into a single or double hung window. However, since window designs
vary, it may be necessary to make some modifi cations for safe, proper installation.
2. Make sure window and frame are structurally sound and free from dry and rotted wood.
3. For maximum effi ciency, install the air conditioner on a side of the house or building which favours more shade than
sunlight. If the unit is in direct sunlight, it is advisable to provide an awning over the unit.
4. Provide suffi cient clearance around the cabinet to allow for ample air circulation through the unit (See Fig. 2). The
rear of the unit should be outdoors. It should not be in a garage, or inside a building. Keep unit as far away as possi-
ble from obstacles/obstructions and at least 30 in. (76 cm) above the fl oor or ground. Curtains and other objects within
the room should be prevented from blocking the air fl ow.
5. Be certain that 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.
6. 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), sulfi de gas, near hot springs, etc.
NOTE: Your unit is designed to evaporate condensation under normal conditions. However, under extreme humidity con-
ditions, excess condensation may cause basepan to overfl ow to the outside. The unit should be installed where conden-
sation run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighbouring properties.
NOTE: It is normal for your unit to drip a small amount of water, especially on excessively humid days.
