This install was going to be lower, but we changed the location to an inside wall.
When I'm sitting in my favorite living room chair (right under install #1),
I'm not too crazy about the warm air blowing right down on top of my head.
So, we mostly use the manual settings to get what 'feels' best.
In the den, I expect that a manual setting of slightly downwards will send
heat to the floor, near the center of the room.
I expect there will be a circular flow to the end of the room (sliding glass door),
up to the ceiling and back towards the unit. which will be pulling air down into it's top air-input grate.
That air-input grate is 40" off the floor. Which means, it's going to be pulling in more cold air,
because it's down lower. So logically, it's going to be heating more cold air.
If the on-board thermostat sensor is enabled, the system should heat
up just about all the air in the room, trying to reach set-point.
A high location is perfect for the
Cool Only version.. But our Sanyo is mainly for heating.
Since this is only an 18'x16' room, this system should provide quick heating,
and be able to hold the room at 22C using minimal power.

If this unit fails, I plan to replace it with a new 9,000 BTUh system..
The replacement will be installed in the exact same location.
