Installation procedure ........................
Location
Your air conditioner will work well in any
location. However, the preferred location for
the unit is on a wall out of direct sunlight.
The location should also provide:
*Adequate support for the weight of
the unit.
eAn electrical outlet within reach of the
power supply cord.
*Free movement of air to the room(s) to
be cooled.
aFree movement of air to the air intake
louvers (inside and outside).
The power supply
cord can be fed
through either side
of the-front panel.
Electrical outlet must be available within
reach of the power supply cord. DO NOT
use an extension cord.

Electrical requirements
Check the model and serial number label to
determine the electrical requirements of your
unit. ALL units must use a time delay fuse or
circuit breaker.
Grounding method
Your air conditioner is equipped with a
power supply cord containing a 3-prong
grounding plug. To minimize possible
electrical shock hazard, the power supply
cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong,
grounding-type wall receptacle, which is
grounded in accordance with all applicable
codes. If a mating wall receptacle is not
available, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have a properly
grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed
by a qualified electrician.
Power supply
DO NOT disconnect the air conditioner from
its electrical supply. DO NOT use an electri-
cal outlet that can be turned off with a
switch.
