WINDOW REQUIREMENTS

• Hot sun rays hitting the outside surface
of the cabinet will create considerable
heat load. If the outside of the cabinet is
exposed to direct sunlight, consider
building an awning to shade the cabinet
while providing ample area for the heated
air to be exhausted from the condenser
(both sides) and the top.

This unit is designed for installation in
standard double hung windows.

NOTE
The unit may also be installed “through the wall”. You should,
however, observe standard carpentry practices and frame the
opening without violating local ordinances.

Condensed water

This air conditioner employs a “Slinger-Up System” which is designed to splash the condensed
water on the condenser coil for maximum cooling efficiency, thus producing a splashing sound.
If the splashing sound annoys you, you can provide an outside drainage by using the following
procedure which may, however, cause a small loss of performance.

Note: The cabinet should be installed tilted slightly lower to the rear for necessary condensate

drainage. (Max. 13/32”)
