Choosing a place for air conditioning
The air conditioner must be placed on a solid base
to minimize noise and vibration during operation.
For safe and reliable operation of the air conditioner,
install it on a smooth, level and sufficiently strong
floor, which can ensure good stability of the device.
The air conditioner has rollers to facilitate its
movement, but they should only be used on a
smooth and even surface. Care should be taken
when rolling the air conditioner on carpet surfaces.
Do not try to roll the air conditioner on the floor
with things scattered around it.
The air conditioner must be within reach of the
length of its power cord to a properly grounded
outlet.
Never allow the presence of any obstacles in the
way entering the unit and leaving the unit air.
Leave 30 to 100 cm of empty space between the appliance and the wall for more efficient air
conditioning.
Window slider kit
