When outdoor temperature is approximately 55

or below, frost

may form on the indoor coil when unit is in Cooling mode. Switch
unit to FAN operation until ice or frost melts.

Wall sleeve must be installed level for proper drainage of
condensation. Check that installation is level and make any
necessary adjustments.

If a drain kit has not been installed, condensation runoff during

been installed and is connected to a drain system, check gaskets
and fittings around drain for leaks and plugs.
