Amana AAC051SRA Owner's Manual page 4

Check the guide below and see.
Instructions
1. Measure the room to be cooled in
square feet.
2. Select the region (1, 2, or 3) that
best fits your location from the map.
3. Using the chart corresponding to
your region, find the column marked
(Size of Area to be Cooled in square
feet).
4. Reading down the column, select a
number that most closely matches
your room size.
5. Follow this row across to the
column that describes the air
conditioner exposure direction, and
room characteristics.
6. The number you select will be the
approximate btu size needed to
cool your room.
Additional conditions:
· If average occupancy of area is more than two people, add 600 Btu/hour per person. If average is one person, subtract
600 Btu/hour.
· Add 1200 Btu/hour if area includes a kitchen.
· If room is heavily shaded, subtract 10 percent from capacity. Increase capacity by 10 percent if area is very sunny.
Note: For best results, select a room air conditioner with cooling capacity (Btu/hour rating) closest to, but not exceeding,
estimated size.
