LOCATION

The room air conditioner is designed to fit easily into a
single or double hung window. However, since window
designs vary, it may be necessary to make some modi-
fications for safe and proper installation.
Make sure the window and frame are structurally
sound and free from dry or rotted wood. Replace wood
if necessary or relocate the air conditioner.
For maximum efficiency, install the air conditioner on
the side of the house or building that has more shade
than sunlight.
Provide sufficient clearance for the air conditioner to
allow proper air circulation through and around the
unit. The rear of the unit must be outdoors (not in a
garage or inside of the building). Provide 20-in. of
clearance on each side of the unit. Provide 20-in. of
clearance from the rear of the unit to any obstruction.
Provide 12-in. of clearance from the top of the unit. See
Fig. 3.
Unit should be at least 30-in. above the floor and out-
side ground.
Curtains and other objects should be moved if they
block indoor airflow.
Unit must be within reach of a proper electrical wall
outlet. Do not use an extension cord.
The unit was designed to evaporate condensation
under normal conditions. Under extreme humidity
conditions, excess condensation may cause the
basepan to overflow to the outside of the unit. The unit
should be installed where condensation drip cannot
cause damage.

WINDOW INSTALLATION

To install the room air conditioner in a window, per-
form the following procedure.
1. Check contents of installation hardware package
provided with air conditioner. See Table 2. Make
sure all the items are included.
2. Determine which window will be used for installa-
tion. See Location section on page 3.
3. Check that the window opening dimensions are
suitable for installation. For KC_101P units, the
window must be between 24 and 38-in. wide and
the window must open at least 15-in. high. For
KC_121P units, the window must be between 27
and 41-in. wide and the window must open at
least 16-in. high. It is recommended that the win-
dow sill be at least
weight of the air conditioner. See Table 3 for unit
dimensions.
