Thermal Edge air conditioners operate as a “closed loop” system with no exposure or introduction of outside air. This ensures that the enclosure is separated from and is not contaminated with ambient air, dirt, chemicals, dust, moisture, or foreign matter so that sensitive enclosure components are protected and are kept at your required operational temperature.
Page 6
In the event of excess water vapor where the enclosure door has been left open there is an overflow hole on the bottom of every unit. Please contact Thermal Edge Inc. if you encounter excess water coming from your air conditioner.

When you are satisfied that the unit is operating properly, turn the unit off, disconnect the power and mount the unit on the enclosure in accordance with the Mounting the Air Conditioner section in this manual. Mounting the Air Conditioner Using the template supplied, determine where the air conditioner is to be mounted and assure that all required cuts and holes will not interfere with or damage the enclosure or its contents.
