IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The safety instructions below will tell you how to use your room air conditioner to avoid harm to yourself or damage to your ROOM AIR CONDITIONER.

ENERGY SAVING IDEAS

The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory operation.
Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home..A window that faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day..
Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains, or furniture, or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
Close the floor and wall registers and the fireplace damper so cool air does not escape up the chimney and into the ductwork.,
Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day.
Clean the air filter as recommended in the MAINTENANCE section of this manual.l
Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm air out and cool air in. External house shading with trees, plants, or windows will help reduce the air conditioner’s workload.
Operate heat-producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers, and dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.

INSTALLING THE POWER CORD

You can choose between the two methods below according to your window shape and preference.

USING SLIT “A”
Fasten the stopper using 2 screw holes, and lead out the power cord throughslit “A”,

USING SLIT “B”
Fasten the stopper using the left screw hole, and rotate properly to lead the power cord out through slit “B”

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Your air conditioner will! Install into standard double-hung windows with actuated clear opening widths of 25 to 36 inches(635 mm to 914 mm)(FIG t).. Lower sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of 15 inches (381mm). Side louvers and the rear of the air conditioner must have a clear air space to allow enough airflow through the condenser for heat removal. The rear of the unit must be outdoors, not inside a building or garage.

ELECTRICAL SERVICE
Check your available electrical service. The power supply available must be the same as that shown on the unit nameplate (found on the right side of the cabinet).. All models are equipped with a 3-prong service plug to provide proper service and safe positive grounding., Do not change the plug in any way. Do not use an adapter plug. If your present wall outlet does not match your plug, call a qualified electrician to make the necessary correction., SAVE CARTON and this OWNER’S MANUAL for future reference. The carton is the best way to store units during winter or when not in use.

INSTALLATION HARDWARE

REQUIRED TOOLS:

Tight-fitting gloves
Standard screwdriver
Philips screwdriver
Pliers
Sharp knife
3/8-inch open-end wrench or adjustable wrench
1/4-inch hex socket and ratchet
Tape measure
Electric drill
1/4-inch drill bit

INSTALLATION

Pick a location that will allow you to blow the cold air into the area you want..Windows used for installation must be strong enough to support the weight of the air conditioner. Good installation with special attention to the proper position of the unit
will lessen the chance that service will be needed. When cooling more than one room, the installation location is very important.t To cool your rooms, cold air must be blown from the air conditioner in a straight path.

HOW TO INSTALL
If the air conditioner is blocked by a storm window frame, see step 19 on page 8 before beginning to install.

Remove the screws that fasten the cabinet at both sides and at the back. Save side screws. Discard the back screws.
Slide the unit out of the cabinet by gripping the base pan handle and pulling forward while bracing the cabinet.
The FOAM SEAL (ITEM l) to fit the underside of the window sash. Peel off the backing and attach the FOAM SEAL as shown in Fig. 5.
Insert the side curtain (ITEM A) into the upper guide and lower guide of the air conditioner. Fasten the curtains to the unit with screws (ITEM E)
Open the window, Mart{ a line on the enter of the window’s inner sill. Carefully place the cabinet on the window inner sill and align the center of the cabinet front with the center line marked in the window inner silt.
The bottom window sash down behind the upper guide until they meet.
Loosely assemble the sill supports using the parts in FIG. 9.
Select the position that will place the sill supports near the outermost point on the sill (FIG. 100). Attach the sill supports to the cabinet track hole closest to the selected position using a screw (ITEM E).
Place the sill supports with the cabinet on the selected window sill position.
The cabinet should be installed with a very slight tilt (about 1/4″) downward toward the outside (FIG 11). Adjust the bolts and the nuts of the ll supports to level the cabinet.
Attach the cabinet to the inner sill by driving the screws (_TEM F) through the front angle into the window inner sill (FIG. 12). Pull each side curtain fully to each side of the window opening.. Attach each side curtain to the window sash using screws (ITEM G).FIG.IG, 13)
Attach the L BRACKET (ITEM J) with the screw (ITEM G). (FIG.14)
DRAINAGE
Be sure to insert the drain pipe into the bathpan before installation. The air conditioner must be installed with a slight tilt
downward to the outside for proper water drainage. The air conditioner will drain the excess condensed water through the drain pipe (FIG. I5)
Slide the chassis into the cabinet. (FIG. 16). CAUTION: For security purposes, reinstall the side screws you removed in step I.
Cut the foam strip (ITEM H) to the proper length and insert it between the upper window sash and the lower window sash (FIG. 17)
The vent control handle must be straightened before the decorative front is attached. Pull out part @ to align with part
FRONT INSTALLATION: Install the front grille(packed separately) onto the cabinet as follows:
- Hook upper tabs of front grille into slots on the cabinet top° (FIG. 19)
- Push front gritle’s tips towards the cabinet to snap side tabs into the cabinet(FIG. 19)
- Open the inlet grille.,(FIG, 20)
- Install the screw (ITEM E) through the front grille. (FIGo20)
- Ctese inlet grille. (FIG. 21)
FAIR CONDITIONER IS BLOCKED BY THE TORN WINDOW FRAME. If the storm window presents interference, fasten a 2′ wide wood strip to the inner window sill across the full width of the sill.. The wood strip should be thick enough to raise the height of the window silt so that the unit can be installed without interference from the storm window frame. See FfG 22

OPERATION

HOW AND WHY

Your room air conditioner provides the following functions to make hot weather living more comfortable:

Cools and circulates room air..
Lowers humidity by removing excess moisture..
Filters out summertime dust, dirt, and some airborne impurities.

The air conditioner performs these functions by drawing room air through a filter that traps dust and dirt particles. The air then passes over a cooling coil, which refrigerates the air and removes excess moisture. The same air is then returned to the room- cooler, drier, and cleaner. Moisture removed from the room air is carried to the outside and evaporated. Your air conditioner is designed to be easy to operate and to provide plenty of cooling power.

NORMAL SOUNDS FIG.23
Aside from the regular fan motor and compressor sounds coming from your air conditioner, you w, willl once in a w, whilee hear a pinging sound. This is the result of moisture being picked up from the air in the room and thrown against the air conditioner’s fan. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern. Also, do not be alarmed if you hear a slight hissing or gurgling sound coming from your air conditioner after it is These are normal coolant noises.

CAPACITY AND RUNNING TIME

Proper unit size is important in deciding the desired comfort for the area you want to cool..An undersized unit will not have the capability to cool, leaving the area uncomfortably warm. The proper size is determined by the number of square feet in
the area to be cooled, indoor and outdoor temperatures, and humidity. Whenever the heat or humidity load is above normal
the air conditioner must run longer and more often to keep the desired temperature you have selected, Under heavy heat load conditions the air conditioner may need to run constantly to keep the temperature you want At times using the MED FAN setting to circulate the room air may make it comfortable even though the air is not being cooled, This will decrease your cost of use.
