How to Install the Unit

1
To prevent vibration and noise, make sure
the unit is installed securely and firmly.
2
Install the unit where the sunlight dose not
shine directly on the unit.
3
The outside of the cabinet must extend out-
ward for at least 12" and there should be no
obstacles, such as a fence or wall, within 20"
from the back of the cabinet because it will
prevent heat radiation of the condenser.
Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce
the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.
Cooled air
CAUTION
● All side louvers of the cabinet must remain
exposed to the outside of the structure.
4
Install the unit slightly tilted so the back is
slightly lower than the front (about 1/2").
This will force condensed water to flow to
the outside.
5
Install the unit with the bottom between
30" ~ 60" above the floor level.

Window Requirements

● This unit is designed for installation in standard
double hung windows with actual opening
widths from 27" to 39".
The top and bottom window sash must open
●
sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of
