STEP 6 Inspect the unit before inserting it into the sleeve. The fan and
blower wheel should be manually rotated to insure that they turn
freely. Be sure the electrical cord will be out of the way when
inserting the unit into the sleeve.
NOTE: For your safety, DO NOT plug the electrical cord into an
electrical outlet until installation is complete.
STEP 7 If the unit checks out OK, it is ready to be placed into position on
bottom rails of the cabinet and pushed into place.
NOTE: Do all lifting of the unit by the bottom pan only and with
assistance or help as necessary (see Figure A).
STEP 8 Install the white chassis seal gasket (item #6, page 6) and the
gray window seal gasket (item #5). Carefully insert the white
gasket (item #6) between the chassis and the cabinet starting at
either bottom corner and go up the side, across the top and down
the opposite side. Insert the gray gasket (item #5) between the
window sashes as shown in Figure D. If chassis seal gasket is
not installed, the operation of the unit will be negatively affected.
Also, the operation noise and outside noise will be ampli ed.
STEP 9 Hold the decorative front as shown in Figure E. Insert the two
tabs of the Decorative Front Panel into the slots in the top of the
cabinet and lower the bottom of the decorative front to the bottom
of the cabinet. Route the electrical cord to the right or left side
of the bottom of the cabinet as required by the location of the
electrical wall outlet. Use the notches provided at the bottom of
the Decorative Front Panel for routing the electrical cord out of
the unit. Attach the decorative front to the cabinet with two (2)
No. 8 x ½" Phillips head screws (item #2, page 6).
STEP 10 CIRCUIT PROTECTION - If the air conditioner is circuit protected by a
fuse, use a "TIME DELAY" fuse or HACR type Circuit Breaker due to
momentary high current demand when your air conditioner is started.
Before operating your unit, verify the ampere rating of the time-delay
fuse or circuit breaker which protects your unit. The ampere rating
of the time-delay fuse or circuit breaker shall be 15 amps. Refer to
Operation section for more detailed operating instructions.
