When unconditioned saturated,

outside air mixes with conditioned
air, condensation forms on the

cooler surfaces

Ensure that foam gaskets are installed in

between window panes & in between the

unit & the sleeve. Also, ensure that fresh

air/exhaust vents (on applicable models) are in
the closed position & are in tact

Downward pitch of installation is

too steep towards back of unit

Follow installation instructions to ensure that

downward pitch of installed unit is no less than

1/4” & no more than 3/8”

& maintenance needs of entire unit
