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

AC 12 10 8 6 MAN final 3/2/05 12:55 PM Page 8

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 filter is very efficient in removing airborne particles. Keep air filter clean. Normally, 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.

NOTE: Save the shipping carton and packing materials for future storage or transport of the unit. Please check the contents of hardware kit against the corresponding model check list, prior to installation of the unit. See lists below.(Fig.A)
