How to Install the Unit

(7) To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the unit

is instalied securely and firmiy.

^ instali the unit where the suniight does not shine

directly on the unit.

^ The outside of the cabinet must extend outward

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.

^ Install the unit a little slanted so the back is slightly lower than the front (about 1/4").

This will force condensed water to flow to the outside.

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

Window Requirements
