operating ignition sources such as open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater.

xDo not pierce or burn the appliance. Be aware that

refrigerants may not contain an odor.

WARNING

xBeing exposed to direct airflow for an extended period

could be hazardous to your health.

xRunning the fan will not prevent oxygen depletion.

Make sure to open doors or windows occasionally to ventilate the room.

Preparation of Cabinet

Remove the 4 screws which fasten the cabinet at

both sides and at the back. (2 of the screws will be used later to refasten the sides of the cabinet to the unit.)

Shipping Screws

Slide the unit from the cabinet by gripping the base

pan handle and pulling forward while bracing the cabinet.

If a storm window presents interference, fasten a 2”

wide wood strip to the inner window sill across the full width of the sill. The wood strip should be thick enough to raise the height of the window sill so that the unit can be installed without interference by the storm window frame.

(See drawing.) The top of the wood strip on the

inside sill should be approximately ¾” higher than the storm window frame or wood strip on the outside sill to help condensation to drain properly to the outside.

If necessary, install a second wood strip (same

thickness as first strip) across the full width of the outer sill, flush against the back of the inner sill.
