A. Your room air conditioner was des igned to
fit eas ily into a s ingle or double hung window. However,
s ince window des igns vary, it may be neces s ary to
make s ome modifications for s afe and proper
ins tallation.
F. Your unit was des igned to evaporate condens ation
under normal conditions . However, under extreme
humidity conditions , exces s condens ation may caus e
the bas e pan to overflow to the outs ide.
T he unit s hould be ins talled where condens ation
run-off cannot drip on pedes trians or neighboring
properties .
