  • Page 10 Mounting the Unit The unit must be mounted within 18 inches of the ceiling in order to achieve sufficient cooling. As the room cools down, the warm air will rise to the ceiling.

As the unit operates and cools, a greater amount of heat is generated on the exhaust side of the unit. Adequate ventilation is required in order to dissipate heat away from the unit.
