NOTE: Do not place directly on vapor barrier. Elevation is required to allow the condensate water to 
drain via gravity. 

If the unit is handled in such a manner that the compressor did not remain in the upright position, you 
will need to place it on a level surface and wait a minimum of 2 hours before turning the unit "on".
