Safety Instructions
The receptacle should be an individual branch circuit used
only for this air conditioner. Be sure the electrical service is
adequate for the model air conditioner you’ve chosen. The
complete electrical rating of your air conditioner is stated on
the serial plate located behind the front grille. Be sure the
plug receptacle is close enough for the power cord to reach
it.
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.
To minimize shock and fire hazards, proper grounding is
important. For your safety and protection, this air conditioner is equipped with a special three-prong grounding plug
on the service cord.
Your air conditioner must be plugged into a properly
grounded and polarized three-prong receptacle. Do not use
an adapter plug. If the wall receptacle you intend to use will
not accept a three-prong plug, or if you are not sure the outlet
is adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or
circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper
outlet according to the National Electric Code and applicable
local code.

Step 2 - Prepare Window for Installation
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, personal
injury or death, turn the fan control to the off
position and unplug the unit from the wall
outlet before installing or removing this
unit.
Inspect window track, sash, and sill to be sure they are
strong enough to hold an air conditioner (Figure 2). Measure width opening to be sure instant mount will fit in the
window. Instant mount models are designed for windows
22-1/2” to 40” wide.
The Instant Mount kit supplied with your unit is designed for
mounting in most double hung windows that do not have
storm windows installed. If your window has a storm window
installed, the window sill may have to be modified to accommodate this unit. This involves adding wood strips to the
inner and outer sills which raise the unit high enough to
eliminate interference with the storm window frame.
For storm window installation:
Determine if an interference exists between the storm
window frame and the unit support bracket by doing the
following:
(1) Place a carpenter’s level across from the window sill to
the storm window frame (Figure 3). If the level slopes
towards the outdoor side, (2) raise the outdoor end of the
level until the bubble is centered in the glass. (3) Measure
the distance from the bottom of the level to the top of the
storm window frame. If this measurement is one inch or
more, no interference problem should exist.
If the distance is less than one inch, subtract the measurement from one inch. For example, if your measurement is
1/4”, 1” minus 1/4” equals 3/4”. This is the minimum total
thickness of wood strip needed to eliminate support bracket
interference with the storm window frame. You may use a
thicker wood strip (i.e. 1”) if it is more convenient.
