Electrical Grounding Instructions

This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against possible shock hazards. If a twoprong wall receptacle is encountered, the customer is required to contact a qualified electrician and have the twoprong 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.

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.

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.

Safety Features

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

Compressor Lockout

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 is turned down immediately after the compressor stops running.

•The Fan Control is quickly turned from FAN ONLY to COOLING mode or vice versa.

Low Voltage Protection

This unit is equipped with “brownout” protection. In case 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 reenergize your unit.

Note: A compressor lockout will occur after the unit is re-energized.

Operation

Vent Control

QUIET ZONE

EXHAUST CLOSED

Open or close the vent by sliding the vent control lever to 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 ONLY mode 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 options on control panel).

Unit Control

ENERGY SAVER (HIGH, MED and LOW) -

ENERGY SAVER mode provides the most energy efficient use of your room air conditioner. I nENERGY SAVER mode, the fan stops when 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 temperature within 1.5°F while in ENERGY SAVER mode. Approximately every 5 minutes the fan will turn on and “sample” the room air to determine if cooling 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 air

at the set fan speed without cooling. This feature can be turned off by pressing the FAN ONLY, the SMART COOL, or the ENERGY SAVER button.

Indoor temperature is displayed in FAN ONLY mode.

Control Panel

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.

LOW FAN, MED FAN, HIGH FAN

- These three buttons are used to select either a low, medium or high fan speed to cool. If FAN ONLY is selected these

buttons change fan speed without cooling. Selecting the fan speed starts normal cooling.

SET Temperature - These key pads increase or decrease the set tempera-

ture.

DELAY TIMER - This button provides a means of delaying the start up or shut down of the air conditioner from 1 to 24 hours from the present

time. After setting the delay timer, the displayed time will countdown to unit start or stop. See next page for details.
