Electrical specifications

1. All wiring must comply with local and national electrical codes and must be installed by a licenced electrician. Once you have any questions regarding the following instructions, contact a licenced electrician.

2. Check available power supply and resolve any wiring problems BEFORE installing and operating this unit.

3. For your safety and protection, this unit is grounded through the power cord when plugged into a matching wall outlet. If you are

not sure whether your wall outlet is properly grounded, please consult a licenced electrician.

4. The wall outlet(3-pin) must match the plug (3-pin) on the power cord supplied with the unit. DO NOT use plug adapters or extension cords. See (Table 1) for receptacle and fuse information.

Electric Shock Hazard

If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 115 volts and up to and including 7.5 amps the unit maybe on a fuse or circuit breaker with other devices. However, the maximum amps of all devices on that fuse or circuit breaker can not exceed the amps of the fuse of circuit breaker.

If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 115 volts and greater than 7.5 amps it must have its own fuse or circuit breaker, and no other device or unit should be operated on the fuse or circuit breaker.

To avoid the possibility of personal injury, disconnect the power to the unit before installing or servicing.

5. The rating plate on the unit contains electrical and other technical data. The rating plate is located on the right side of the unit.

Tips before installation

Your Room Air Conditioner unit is designed to be highly efficient and save energy. Follow these recommendations for greater efficiency.

1. Select the thermostat setting that suits your comfort needs and leave the thermostat at that chosen setting.

2. The air filter is very efficient in removing airborne particles. Keep the air filter clean. Normally, the filter should be cleaned once a month. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on outdoor and indoor air quality.

3. Use drapes, curtains, or shades to keep direct sunlight from heating your room, but DO NOT obstruct the air conditioner. Allow air to circulate around the unit without obstructions.

4. Start your air conditioner before outdoor air becomes hot and uncomfortable. This avoids an initial period of discomfort while the unit is cooling off the room.

Your Room Air Conditioner was designed for easy installation in a single or double-hung window. NOTE: This unit is NOT designed for vertical (slider type) windows.

! !

To avoid installation/operating difficulties, read the instructions thoroughly.

NOTE: Save the shipping carton and packing

materials for future storage or transport of the unit. Please check the contents of the hardware kit against the corresponding model check list, prior to installation of the unit.

5. When outdoor temperature is cool enough, use HIGH or LOW FAN only. This circulates indoor air, providing some cooling comfort, and utilizes less electricity than when operating on a cooling setting.

Because the compressor is located on the controls side of the unit (right side), this side will be heavier and more awkward to manipulate. Inadequate support on the control side of the unit can result in personal injury and damage to your unit and property. Therefore, it is recommended to have someone assist you during the installation of this unit.

1. Select the Best Location

A. Your room air conditioner was designed to fit easily into a single or double hung window. However, since window designs vary, it may be necessary to make some modifications for safe and proper installation.

B. Make sure the window and frame are structurally sound and free from dry and rotted wood.

CAUTION

F. Your unit was designed to evaporate condensation under normal conditions. However, under extreme humidity conditions, excess condensation may cause base pan to overflow to the outside. The unit should be installed where condensation run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighboring properties.

Awning

20" Min.

12" Min.

C. For maximum efficiency, install the air conditioner on the side of the house or building which favors more shade than sunlight. If the unit is in direct sunlight, it is advisable to provide an awning over the unit.

D. Provide sufficient clearance around the cabinet to allow for ample air circulation through the unit. See (Fig.2). The rear of the unit should be outdoors and not in a garage nor inside of a building. Keep unit as far away as possible from obstacles and obstructions and at least 30" above the floor or ground. Curtains and other objects within a room should be prevented from blocking the air flow.

E. Be certain the proper electrical outlet is within reach of the installation. Use only a single outlet circuit rated at 15 amps. All wiring should be in accordance with local and national electrical codes.

Installation instructions

Window installation step

1. If your air conditioner cabinet 18'' wide, it will fit window openings 21'' to 32'' in wide. Minimum opening height is 14'' from bottom of sash to sill (Fig. 1).

2. Insert the guide panels into the guides of the air conditioner. Fasten the curtains to the unit with screws (Fig. 2).

3. Cut the adhesive-backed seal strip to match the window width. Remove the backing from the seal strip and attach the seal strip to the underside of the bottom window. (Fig. 3)

4. Measure the inside window sill width and find the center line as shown in Fig. 4.

Installation instructions

5. Install the L brackets on the outer sill with the short side of the bracket against the back of the inner sill. Install one L bracket 7.5 to each side of the center line. See Fig. 5.

6. Carefully lift the air conditioner and slide it into the open window. Make sure the bottom guide of the air conditioner drops into the notches of the L brackets. When the air conditioner drops into the L brackets, the air conditioner will be centered in the window opening as show in Fig. 6. While steadying the air conditioner, carefully bring the window sash down behind the top channel of the air conditioner, as shown in Fig. 7. First, fix both sides onto the window sill with two 3/4 screws and one 2/5 screw ( which is unscrewed from each side of the unit). Then fix top channel to window sash with one 3/4 screw and fix side curtain frames with four 3/4 screws as shown in Fig.6.

7. If 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 sill so that the unit can be installed without interference from the storm window frame, as show in Fig. 8.

Top of wood strip should be approximately 3/4'' higher than the storm window frame to help condensation to drain properly to the outside.. Install a second wood strip (approximately 6'' long by 11/2''wide and same thickness as first strip) in the center of the outer sill flush against the back of the inner sill. Screw the L brackets into this strip. This will raise the L bracket as shown in Fig. 8.

Operating Instructions

Mechanical control model

MODE

The mode knob controls fan speeds and cooling speeds. To set desired cooling temperature, simply rotate the mode knob dial to the appropriate setting. See Fig. 9.

THERMOSTAT

The thermostat automatically controls the cooling cycle (compressor) of the air conditioner to maintain room temperature. However, the fan motor will continue to operate after the compressor (cooling cycle) is completed. See Fig.9.

LOW FAN will circulate the air at a minimum speed without cooling.

HIGH FAN will circulate the air at a maximum speed without cooling.

LOW COOL provides cooling, automatically with minimum air circulation. Recommended for nighttime use.

HIGH COOL provides cooling, automatically with quick cooling or for extremely hot days. Once room is cooled, reduce setting to LOW COOL.

OFF will completely shut-off the unit.

NOTE: After setting the mode, allow 3

minutes before switching to another mode.
