Use and Care

WKL 3/11 PG 3
BREEZAIRE units should NOT
be installed in a fire rated wall without consulting your local building inspector and building
codes.
If your installation cannot be performed in accordance with these instructions contact your dealer.
The unit must be installed in the upright position and is not designed to have ductwork on either the warm air or cold air
sides. Do not drill any holes in the cooling unit. It may damage the unit, promotes rust, and will void the warranty. Do not
install the unit so that its removal will be difficult or impossible. It may be necessary to periodically remove the unit to clean
the condenser coil.
Select a place to mount the unit where the airflow from the warm air exhaust is unobstructed for a minimum of 3 feet. The
area into which the unit exhausts must be well ventilated. If not, the unit will be unable to reject the excessive moisture and
heat, resulting in unsatisfactory performance.
An inappropriate location for the warm air exhaust includes unventilated lau
ndry rooms, closets, bathrooms, garages, crawl
spaces, attics and humid basements. Additionally, cold air flowing from the upper cold
side grille must remain unobstructed for 3 feet. It is
preferred that the unit be mounted near the ceiling and as
close to equal distance from each end of the wall as
possible. If necessary, the WKL3000, WKL4000,
WKL6000, and WKL8000 may be mounted near the floor if
the upper grille is interchanged with the blank off plate so
that the cold air
will be directed up (see Fig. 1). There
should be nothing above the unit to block airflow. Remove
the insulation under the blank off plate with a knife.
Make sure that the warm air exhaust condenser grille can
be properly attached to the unit (see Fig. 3).
Make a hole through the wall as illustrated in Fig. 2. The
dimensions of the hole should be approximately 1/4 inch
larger than the width and height given in the specifications.
If the unit is to be installed above floor l
evel, construct a shelf as shown in Fig. 3. This shelf must be capable of supporting
the weight indicated in the specifications. NOTE: Insulation placed between the unit and the shelf will reduce additional
noise and help reduce condensate from forming on the underside of the unit.
Cut a hole in the shelve that corresponds to the Pull down drain tube's location on the underside of the unit. Refer to
section "ENCLOSURE PROBLEMS".
Place the unit through the opening with the warm ai
r exhaust side, flush to the outside of the wall (see Fig. 3). Attach the
warm air exhaust condenser grille to the unit and to the wall with screws supplied with grille. Note: the unit may be installed
with the cold side flush to the inside wall, however, two provisions must be made. First, insure the warm air exhaust grille
will be installed. Second, insulate and vapor barrier the framed opening to prevent moisture in the wall from condensing on
the cold surface
of the cooling unit. Please remember that in all cases the warm air exhaust condenser grille must be
directly attached to the warm side of the unit. Do not leave an air gap between the unit's surface and the warm air exhaust
condenser grille. The unit will not work properly without this grille. The exhaust condenser grille has only a white
primer coat. If the exhaust condenser grille is installed on an outside wall it should be coated with an appropriate paint.
Seal the opening
around the unit with high quality weather stripping and cover with an appropriate molding. Attach
the molding to the wall, not the unit. Plug the unit's electrical cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet of adequate
capacity (see unit specification for unit electrical requirements)
