    Installation Materials Installation Kits Marvair air conditioners are shipped with one 12 Ga. "L" shaped bottom bracket. If you have not yet unpacked the unit, follow the instructions in section 2.1. All units have built-in full length mounting flanges. Therefore, use of mounting brackets is not required.
  • Page 34: Porting And Duct Work

    Attach the perimeter flange of the wall sleeve to the framed opening with appropriately sized screws. Since electric heat can be added after the unit has been installed, Marvair recommends that all installations have the 1” (25.4 mm) clearance around the wall sleeve.

    Important: Be sure that the crankcase heater (if used) has been energized for at least 24 hours before starting the unit(s). Double-check all electrical connections before applying power. Marvair air conditioners with scroll compressors running on 3Ø power must be checked for proper rotation during the initial start-up.
  • Page 42: Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

    Please read the Chapter 1 for basic information about the unit. Marvair air conditioners are thoroughly tested before they are shipped from the factory. Although unlikely, it is possible that a defect may escape undetected, or damage may have occurred during transportation.
