1. All wiring must comply with local and national electrical codes and must be installed by a licenced electrician. If 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.
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. Make sure to use the correct power supply according to the rating plate of your air conditioner.
Table 1
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 on all devices for that fuse or circuit breaker can not exceed the amps of the fuse for the 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.
If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 230 volts, 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 power to the unit before installing or servicing.

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 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, 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/cold and uncomfortable. This avoids an initial period of discomfort while the unit is cooling or heating 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.
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.
See lists below.(Fig.A)

Installation instructions
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 window and frame is 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.B). 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 proper current (see table 1 on page 4). All wiring should be in accordance with local and national electrical codes.
F. Your unit was designed to evaporate condensation under normal conditions. However, under extreme humidity conditions, excess condensation may cause the basepan to overflow to the outside. The unit should be installed where condensation run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighboring properties.

2. Preparation to Remove the Air Conditioner Slide-Out Chassis
A. Remove total of (4) Philips screws securing the chassis to the cabinet. There are (2) screws on each side. The set of screws closest to the front of the unit secure the front panel to the cabinet. The set of screw closest to the rear of the unit secure the cabinet to the chassis.
See (Fig. 1).
B. Remove the front panel assembly from the cabinet by gently pulling it.
C. Grasp the pull handle at the front of the slide-out chassis and carefully slide the air conditioner out of the cabinet. See (Fig. 2).
NOTE: Screws must be reinstalled upon
completion of the window installation to
secure slide-out chassis.
Please seek assistance for this procedure.

5. Installation of Mounting Brackets and First Sealing Strip
NOTE: Windows come in a variety of different
styles. Therefore, it may be necessary to modify or improve your particular installation.
A. Attach the bracket assembly to 90 angle support brackets (Fig. 5) using (2) 1 1/2" bolts Two bolts per bracket. Secure with the (2) 1/4" lock washers and (2) 1/4"nuts. DO NOT immediately tighten these bolts as it may be necessary to adjust the depth of the bracket assembly, depending on the depth of your window sill. See (Fig. 7).Install the two leveling screws into the 90 support brackets. Test the bracket assembly in the window before cabinet installation. If the leveling screws are distanced too far away from the wall to provide stability, it may be necessary for you to fill this area with a solid piece of wood. See (Fig. 8).

B. Measure the inside window sill width and find the center as shown in (Fig. 6). Align the V-slot in each bracket on these marks and mount the brackets to the sill using 3/4" screws provided. Brackets should be perpendicular to the inside window sill. See (Fig. 6).
C. For proper condensation run-off it will be necessary to adjust the angle/pitch of the window brackets. This is accomplished by adjusting the distance of the leveling screw on the outer wall. The maximum angle/pitch should not exceed more than 3/16". See (Fig.7).
Use a solid piece of wood to provide stability. This will be required when sills are extra deep. See (Fig. 8).

A. Align one hole in the bottom of the cabinet with one hole in the bracket assembly. Secure the cabinet to the bracket using (3) 1/4" screws provided. Repeat the same procedure on the opposite side of the cabinet. See (Fig. 10).
C. Check to make sure that the cabinet is slanted slightly downward on the outside. If necessary, re-adjust support bracket as shown in (Fig. 7).

9. Complete the installation
B. Some installations may require additional sealing around the window and air conditioner. Check for any air leaks and seal where necessary.
C. In very humid areas, the water removal may be excessive enough to overflow the unit or increase the noise of the air conditioner. If this occurs, you may wish to attach a drain hose (not included) to the drain plug allowing condensations to run off conveniently. See (Fig. 14).
