Install Air Conditioner in Window
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
air conditioner.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure your air conditioner does not fall out of the opening
■
during installation or removal.
The place where the power cord exits the air conditioner
■
should be no more than 6 ft (183 cm) from a grounded outlet
To maximize cooling efficiency and air circulation, do not
■
block the air intake or discharge louvers in the front panel.
To reduce cycling on and off of the compressor and reduce
■
the risk of freezing up or damage to the unit, do not block the
louvers on the outside of the air conditioner.
