PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION
Choosing the Right Location
Place the appliance in a dry and well-ventilated room with a sturdy floor.
Allowable ambient temperature depends on the model (class) of the appliance
and is stated on the rating plate of the appliance.
Class Ambient Temperature
SN (sub-normal) from + 56°F to + 90°F
N (normal) from + 62°F to + 90°F
ST (sub-tropical) from + 64°F to +100°F
T (tropical) from + 64°F to +120°F
The appliance may be exposed to lower or higher temperatures but only for
short periods of time and the temperature should never be lower than 41°F.
Never place the appliance near heat-emitting devices (e.g. oven, radiator, water
heater or similar devices) and do not expose it to direct sunlight.
The appliance should be positioned at least 1" away from an electric or gas stove
and at least 12" away from an oil burner or water heater. If this isn’t possible,
use appropriate insulation. Behind the appliance there should be at least 2" of
free space. Also allow at least 2" of space above the appliance to assure
adequate ventilation of the condenser unit.
Placement of the Appliance
Be sure the appliance is level.
If two spacers are included with the unit, they should be fitted onto the
upper edge of the condenser to prevent the appliance from being installed
too close to the wall.
Electrical Connection
Connect the appliance to a 120VAC/60Hz power supply socket, which should
include a ground terminal (safety socket).
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
The connection to the power supply and grounding has to be made according to
current standards and regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage
tolerance from -15 to 10%.
