Electrical Requirements

Electrical Grounding Instructions

This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against possible shock hazards. Ifa two-

prong wall receptacle is encountered, the customer is required to contact a qualified electrician and have the two-

prong wall receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle in accordance with the National

Electrical Code. Room air conditioners are designed to operate according to

requirements on the nameplate and as shown in Figure 1. Fuse or circuit breaker ratings must be according to the

fuse instruction label and as shown in Figure 1. Do not plug models marked "Use on Single Outlet Circuit Only" into a circuit with another appliance or light fixture.

I_k WARNING

To avoid death, personal injury or property damage due to electrical shock, this unit must be grounded. Do not under any

circumstances cut or remove the round grounding prong from the plug. Do not

use a two-prong adapter.

Safety Features

This room air conditioner is equipped with an electronic control to improve comfort and ensure reliability.

CompressorLockout

To extend the life of the compressor a three minute time delay will occur when:

• Electrical power is first supplied to the unit

• The thermostat isturned down immediately after the compressor stops running.

• The Fan Control isquicklyturned from FAN ONLY to COOLING mode or vice versa.

Low Voltage Protection

This unit isequipped with "brownout" protection. Incase of an extreme brownout, the Amana control will interrupt

power to the unit to prevent compressor failure. When the line voltage reaches at least 180 VAC, the control will re-

energize your unit.

Note: A compressor lockout will occur after the unit is

re-energized.

[-- _ WARNING

To avoid death, personal injury or property damage due to electrical shock, do not

use an extension cord. Do not pinch the power cord. Do not remove the warning

tag from the power cord.

Operation

Vent Control

Open or close the vent by sliding thevent control leverto the appropriate setting.

EXHAUST- This setting opens the vent to move indoor air

out.

Note: To conserve energy, the unit should be set to the

FAN ONL Ymode when using this setting.

CLOSED - In this position the vent is closed and room air is recirculated and filtered. This position should be used for

all normal cooling operations (see underlined cooling op- tions on control panel).

ENERGY SAVER mode provides the most

ENERGYSAVER (HIGH, MED and LOW)-

energy efficient use of your room air condi-

tioner. I n ENERGY SAVER mode, thefan stopswhen the

compressor stops cooling. This feature can be used with SMART COOL or cooling with any fan speed.

Amana's new air sampling system works to maintain set temperaturewithin 1.5°Fwhile inENERGY SAVER mode.

Approximately every 5 minutes the fan will turn on and "sample" the room airto determine ifcooling is needed. If

the room is cool enough, the fan will cycle off. If the room

needs further cooling, the compressor will start along with

the fan until the set temperature is reached.

ENERGY SAVER has a soft start fan feature. This feature

starts the fan in low speed to reduce noise.

FAN ONLY - FAN ONLY circulates room airat the set fan speed without cooling. This

feature can be turned off by pressing the FAN

ONLY, the SMART COOL, orthe ENERGY SAVER button. Indoor temperature is displayed in FAN ONLY mode.

OFF - Completely shuts off the unit.

SMART COOL- SMART COOL adjusts the

fan speed of the unit to achieve the selected

temperature. The SMART COOL feature uses computer logic to cool the room quickly

and quietly. The fan speed starts on high, automatically switches to medium, and finally goes to low as the room

temperature nears the set temperature.
