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 does not shine
directly on the unit.
3
There should be no obstacles, such as a fence and
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.
CAUTION: All side louvers of the cabinet must remain exposed to the outside of the structure.
4
Install the unit a little slanted 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 about 30"~60" above the floor level.
