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 to a differ-
ent window.
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.

TABLE 2 —INSTALLATION HARDWARE PACKAGE
ITEM
2. Determine which window will be used for installa-
tion. See Location section above.
3. Check that the window opening dimensions are
suitable for installation. For KC_051D and
KC_061P units, the window must be between 21
and 35-in. wide and the window must open at
least 13-in. high. For KC_081P units, the window
must be between 22 and 36-in. wide and the win-
dow must open at least 14-in. high. It is recom-
mended that the window sill be at least
thick to support the weight of the air conditioner.
See Table 3 for unit dimensions.
