Electrical Requirements

Electrical Grounding Instructions

This appliance is equipped with athree-pro nggrounding plug
fer protection against possible shock hazards. Ifatwe-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 aredesigned 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.

i _i 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 re-

energize your unit.

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

WARNING

To avoid death, personal inju ry 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

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 mode provides the most

ENERGY SAVER (HIGH, MED and LOW) -

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 todetermine if cooling isneeded. Ifthe
room is cool enough, the fan will cycle off. If the room needs

further cooling, the cornpressor 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

temperature. The SMART COOL feature uses

fan speed of the unit to achieve the selected
computer logic to cool the room quickly and

quietly. The fan speed starts onhigh, automatically switches
to medium, and finally goes to low as the room temperature

nears the set temperature.
