1. gENERAL INFORMATION

A. Product features or specifications as described or il-
lustrated are subject to change without notice.
B. This air conditioner is designed for:
1. Installation on a recreational vehicle at the time
the vehicle is manufactured.
2. Mounting on the roof of a recreational vehicle.
3. Connection to an air distribution system located in
the ceiling/roof cavity of the recreational vehicle.
4. Roof construction with rafters/joists on minimum
of 16 inch centers.
5. Minimum of 2.00" and maximum of 5.50" distance
between roof to ceiling of recreational vehicle.
Alternate installation methods will allow for roofs
more than 5.50" thick.
C. The ability of the air conditioner to maintain the desired
inside temperature depends on the heat gain of the RV.
Some preventative measures taken by the occupants
of the RV can reduce the heat gain and improve the
performance of the air conditioner. During extremely
high outdoor temperatures, the heat gain of the vehicle
may be reduced by:
1. Parking the RV in a shaded area.
2. Using window shades (blinds and/or curtains).
3. Keeping windows and doors shut or minimizing
usage.
4. Avoiding the use of heat producing appliances.
Operation on High Fan/Cooling mode will give optimum
or maximum efficiency in high humidity or high outside
temperatures.
Starting the air conditioner early in the morning and giving
it a "head start" on the expected high outdoor ambient will
greatly improve its ability to maintain the desired indoor
temperature.
For a more permanent solution to high heat gain, accesso-
ries like A&E outdoor patio and window awnings will reduce
heat gain by removing the direct sun. They also add a nice
area to enjoy company during the cool of the evening.
D. Condensation
Note: The manufacturer of this air conditioner will not be
responsible for damage caused by condensed moisture
on ceilings or other surfaces. Air contains moisture and
this moisture tends to condense on cold surfaces. When
air enters the RV, condensed moisture may appear on the
ceiling, windows, metal parts, etc. The air conditioner re-
moves this moisture from the air during normal operation.
Keeping doors and windows closed when this air condi-
tioner is in operation will minimize condensed moisture on
cold surfaces.
