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.
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.
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
Toreducetheriskofelectricshock,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.
