•AIR FLOW AROUND UNIT
Check in door grill and outdoor louvers for air flow obstructions. Do not block air flow to and from unit. The
outdoor coil should be checked and periodically cleaned for debris that may collect and block unit air flow.
If air flow is obstructed or deflected back into unit, the compressor may cycle on and off rapidly, causing
early compressor failure.
•DRAIN HOLE AND WATER DRIPPING OUTSIDE
Locate drain hole at the rear or on the bottom of unit. Water in base pan is picked up by the fan blade and
thrown onto the warm outdoor coil where it evaporates. The air conditioner must be installed level or tilted
slightly to the outside for proper water disposal. On exceptionally hot and humid days the air conditioner
may permit excess water to pass thru rear drain hole or overflow. This should be considered normal.
•DOOR VENT
The door vent for the room air ventilation is lever type.
If the door vent lever moves to the left, then close the
vent and moves to the rght, then open the vent.
