Electrical Grounding Instructions

This appliance isequipped 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 cond itioners are designed to operate according to
requirements on the nameplate and as shown in Table 1,
Fuse or circuit breaker ratings must be accord ing 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, persona! 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 re
energize your unit.

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

ENERGY SAVER {HIGH, MED and LOW) ­ENERGY SAVER mode provides the most

energy efficient use of your room air condi
tioner, In ENERGYSAVERmode,thefanstopswhenthe
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, thefan 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 setfan 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.
