GENERAL INFORMATION
A. Product features or specifications as described or illustrated
are subject to change without notice.
B. This Air Conditioner Is Designed For:
1. Installation on a recreational vehicle during the time
the vehicle is manufactured.
2. Mounting on the roof of a recreational vehicle.
3. Roof construction with rafters/joists on minimum of 16
inch centers.
4. Minimum of 2.00 inches and maximum of 4.00 inches
distance between roof to ceiling of recreational vehicle.
Alternate installation methods will allow for roofs more
than 4.00 inches 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, accessories 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 respon-
sible 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 removes this moisture from the air during
normal operation. Keeping doors and windows closed when this
air conditioner is in operation will minimize condensed moisture
on cold surfaces.

When sizing the generator, the total power usage of your recreational vehicle must be considered. Keep in mind generators lose power at high altitudes
an dfrom lack of maintenance.
* For wire length over 24 ft., consult the National Electric Code for proper sizing.
** Dometic Corporation gives GENERAL guidelines for generator requirements. These guidelines come from experiences people have had in actual applications.
*** CIRCUIT PROTECTION: Time Delay Fuse or HACR Circuit Breakers Required.
