TiPS BEFOREiNSTALLATiON

Your RoomAir 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 RoomAir Conditioner was designed
for easy installation in a single or double-hung

window. NOTE: This unit is NOT designed for
vertical (slider type) windows.

P'!'I

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.

iNSTALLATiONiNSTRUCTiONS

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.

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.

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, 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.
