3. INSTALLATION This air conditioner is designed with a button-down chassis so it can be easily installed in a window. 3.1 SELECT THE BEST LOCATION 1. To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the unit is installed securely and firmly. 2.
IMPORTANT : When the air conditioner drops into the L bracket, the air conditioner will be centered in window opening as shown in Figure. 28. b. While steadying the air conditioner, carefully bring the window sash down behind the upper guide of the air conditioner, as shown in Figure.
REMOVAL FROM WINDOW Turn the air conditioner off, disconnect the power cord, remove the L bracket, the screws and support bracket installed through the top and bottom of the guide panels, and save for reinstallation later. Close the guide panels. Keeping a firm grip on the air conditioner, raise the sash, and carefully tilt the air conditioner backward, draining any condensate.
4.2 PIPING SYSTEM CONDENSER COILS CAPILLARY MOTOR TUBE TURBO FAN EVAPORATOR COILS Following is a brief description of the important components and their function in what is called the refrigeration system. Reference should be made to Figure 33 to follow the refrigerating cycle and the flow of the refrigerant in the cooling cycle.
4.3 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE In general, possible trouble is classified in two kinds. The one is called Starting Failure which is caused by an electrical defect. The other is Ineffective Air Con- ditioning caused by a defect in the refrigeration circuit and improper application. Unit is running but cooling is ineffective.
