other injury.

Remove packaging materials

• Remove and properly dispose of packaging materials. Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the air conditioner. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

• Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your air conditioner.

• Handle air conditioner with care.

• The portable air conditioner should be connected to a 115 V, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused 3-prong grounded outlet.

• The use of a time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker is recommended.

• All wiring must comply with local and national electrical codes and be installed by a qualified electrician. If you have any questions, contact a qualified electrician.

A Reset Button B Test Button

This room air conditioner is equipped with a power supply cord required by UL. This power supply cord contains state-of-the-art electronics that sense leakage current. If the cord is crushed, the electronics detect leakage current and power will be disconnected in a fraction of a second.

To test your power supply cord:

1. Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3-prong outlet.

2. Press RESET.

3. Press TEST (listen for click; Reset button will trip and pop out).

4. Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will latch and remain in).The power supply cord is ready for operation.

NOTES:

• The Reset button must be pushed in for proper operation.

• The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to trip when the

test button is pressed or fails to rest.

• Do not use the power supply cord as as an off/on switch. The

power supply cord is designed as a protective device.

• A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power

supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer and must not be repaired.

• The power supply cord contains no use serviceable parts. Opening

the tamper-resistant case voids all warranty and performance claims.

TIPS BEFORE INSTALLATION

WAC 5 6 8 USER MAN final 3/2/05 12:23 PM Page 9

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

recommendations for greater efficiency.

1. Select 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. Typically, 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.

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.

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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

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 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.

C. For maximum efficiency, install the air conditioner on 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.

CAUTION

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