Installation

 

A hole is cut in the wall, or the window is opened to suit the size of the unit. If in a window, the gap is filled with either glass or timber. A wooden architrave is placed around the unit on the inside to give a neat finish, and the unit is sealed on the outside. Depending on location, the drain for the moisture may be piped away.

 

Electrical Requirements

 

Up to 1.75 HP need a standard 10 Amp power point.

 

2 HP etc require a 15 Amp power point and separate circuit breaker (very important in order not to damage appliances and risk an electrical fire).
