Installation
Complete step-by-step installation instructions are furnished
with your unit. These instructions will be found on a separate
page included with this manual or in the mounting kit
assembly. Follow these instructions carefully. Keep these
instructions with this manual for future reference. Your unit
will be one of the following three designs:
• Unit with a window mounting kit
These models are designed for mounting though an
opening in a wall. These units can be adapted to
window installation by using the optional window mounting kit supplied with your unit.
• Unit without a window mounting kit
No window mounting kit is supplied with the unit.
These models are designed for mounting through an
opening in a wall. These units can be adapted to
window installation by purchasing an optional window
mounting kit. Consult your dealer to choose the kit that
is appropriate for your model and installation.
Room Heat Pumps
Heat pumps work by moving heat instead of creating it. In the
summer, the cool indoor coil absorbs heat from your room
and moves it outdoors, providing cooling. In the winter, heat
pumps reverse this operation. By lowering the temperature
of the outdoor coil below the outdoor temperature, the heat
pump absorbs the heat from outdoors and moves it inside
your house. This heat transferring process is very efficient.
For example, at 45°F outdoor temperature, a heat pump can
provide 2 ½ watts of heat for every watt of electricity it
consumes.
As outdoor temperatures drop, the heating capacity and
efficiency of the heat pump declines. At temperatures below
45°F, it is likely that ice will form on the outdoor coil. Heat
pump units are designed to operate as a heat pump above
approximately 40°F. Below 40°F, these units switch automatically from reverse cycle heat pump to auxiliary electric
heating. No defrost is required. There is no minimum
operating temperature.
