INSTALLATION
Location
The unit represented in this manual is intended
for indoor use only. Be sure the chosen location
has a oor or counter strong enough to support
the total weight of the unit. Reinforce the oor
or counter if necessary to provide for maximum
loading. For the most efcient operation, be sure
to provide good air circulation inside and out.
The outline dimensional drawing for the unit is
shown below in Figure 1.
Outside Unit
Be sure that the unit has access to ample air;
avoid hot corners and locations near stoves and
ovens.
Leveling
Be sure that the units are placed on a rm, at
surface/oor. Check for cracks in ooring or tile
and avoid these areas if possible. If necessary
place support pads, properly rated for the weight
of the unit, to “bridge” uneven or cracked ooring.
Level unit accordingly.
Stabilizing
Use the leg adjustments to insure that the unit is
solid to the oor surface at all six contact points.
Insure that the unit does not “rock” when pressure
is applied to the top corners.
