3.2 LOCATING THE UNIT
Choose an appropriate location for the unit.
• Within an area of the house where the ambient temperature is kept
between 50°F and 104°F.
• Away from living areas (dining room, living room, bedroom), if possible.
• So as to provide easy access to the interior of the unit, for regular and
annual maintenance.
NOTE: There must be a 27” clearance in front of the unit to fully open
the door. In limited space, the door can be removed by lifting it
up, but there must be a 18” clearance in front of the unit to
remove the core.
• Close to an exterior wall, so as to limit the length of the insulated flexible
duct to and from the unit.
• Away from hot chimneys and other fire hazards.
• Allow for a power source (standard 3-prong grounding outlet).
• Close to a drain. If no drain is close by, use a pail to collect run-off.
The unit can be hung using provided 4 chains and springs (see at right) or
hung to the wall using provided brackets (see next page).
