Electrical Requirements
Electrical Grounding Instructions
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug
for protection against possible shock hazards. If a 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 Table 1.
Fuse or circuit breaker ratings must be according to the fuse
instruction label and as shown in Table 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.
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 100 VAC, the control will reenergize your unit.
Note: A compressor lockout will occur after the unit is reenergized.
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
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. In ENERGY 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.

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.

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.
