pulling out the top of the inlet grille.

2. Using the tab, pull up slightly on the filter to release it and pull it down or up.

Howto Installthe Unit

.

To prevent vibration and noise, make sure
the unit is installed securely and firmly

25

Install the unit where the sunlight does not
shine directly on the unit.

3_

The outside of the cabinet must extend

outward for at least 11" and there should
be no obstacles, such as a fence or 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/¢,).
This will force condensed water to flow to the outside.

5. Install the unit with the bottom about 30"~60" above the floor level.

outlet(Fig. 16) to minimize the hazard of electric

shock. The customer should have the wall
receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified

electrician to make sure the r_eptacle is properly
grounded,

PREFERREDMETHOD

Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
discourage the use of an adapter plug. However, if

you wish to use an adapter, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made. Use ULqisted

adapter, available from most local hardware
store(Fig. 17). The large slot in the adapter must be

aligned with the large slot in the receptacle to
assure a proper polari_ connection.

CAUTION: A_aching the adapter ground terminal b
