is appropriate for your model and installation.
Room Heat Pumps
Heat pumps work by moving heat instead of creating it. In the
summer, the cool indoor coil absorbs heat from your room
and moves it outdoors, providing cooling. In the winter, heat
pumps reverse this operation. By lowering the temperature
of the outdoor coil below the outdoor temperature, the heat
pump absorbs the heat from outdoors and moves it inside
your house. This heat transferring process is very efficient.
For example, at 45°F outdoor temperature, a heat pump can
provide 2 ½ watts of heat for every watt of electricity it
consumes.
As outdoor temperatures drop, the heating capacity and
efficiency of the heat pump declines. At temperatures below
45°F, it is likely that ice will form on the outdoor coil. Heat
pump units are designed to operate as a heat pump above
approximately 40°F. Below 40°F, these units switch automatically from reverse cycle heat pump to auxiliary electric
heating. No defrost is required. There is no minimum
operating temperature.
Normal Care and Maintenance
Use copper wire only. Consumer’s responsibility is to provide
proper and adequate receptacle wiring that conforms to all
applicable codes. All wiring should be installed by qualified
electrician.
LCDI or AFCI Power Cords
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the National Electric
Code (NEC) now require power cords that sense current
leakage and can open the electrical circuit to the unit. In the
event, the unit does not operate, check the reset button
located on or near the head of the power cord as part of the
normal troubleshooting procedure.
Installation
Complete step-by-step installation instructions are furnished
with your unit. These instructions will be found on a separate
page included with this manual or in the mounting kit
assembly. Follow these instructions carefully. Keep these
instructions with this manual for future reference. Your unit
will be one of the following designs:

Airflow Around Unit
Select the highest fan speed and set temperature control to
its coldest position. When the desired temperature is
reached, slowly move the temperature control toward a
warmer setting until the compressor shuts off. The thermostat will then cycle the compressor on and off to maintain this
selected temperature. Adjust the fan speed for desired air
circulation.

INDOORGRILLE
Changing Airflow Direction Baffles
Airflow on unit may be diverted left or right from center by
baffles. Upward and downward air discharge is provided by
tilting louvers. Adjust baffles and tilt louvers for desired
airflow pattern.
Drain Cup Installation and Use
Your air conditioner uses a system where the water removed
from the indoor air (condensate) is channeled to the outdoor
side of the unit. The outdoor fan blade has a “slinger” ring
attached to it that dips into the water and slings the water onto
the outdoor coil surface. This is the sound of water you hear
during normal operation. The water quickly evaporates on
this warm surface and improves the efficiency of your air
conditioner. In normal conditions the unit can evaporate the
water as fast as it is removed from the indoor air.
However, in very humid conditions excess amount s of water
may drip off the unit chassis. If this proves to be a problem,
install the condensate drain cup included with the unit to
route excess water where it would not be a problem (see
illustration).
To install, remove the unit chassis from the outer case. Insert
the condensate drain cup through the recessed ½” hole on
the back center of the outer case. Once inserted, place a ½”
diameter hose or tube on the drain cup bottom spout. The
hose allows you to route where you want the excess water to
go. Reinsert the unit chassis into the outer case. The unit
basepan overflow hole will be positioned directly above the
drain cup and will catch any water that might run out.
Outer Case
Airflow Around Unit
Check the indoor grille and outdoor louvers for obstructions
to airflow. Do not block the airflow to and from the unit. If air
is obstructed and/or deflected back into the unit, the air
conditioner’s compressor may cycle on and off rapidly. This
could damage your unit.

CAUTION
In order to reinstall the chassis and reattach the air conditioner front cover, the
installed outercase must be square and
level from side to side. Use wood shims
between sides of case and finished opening - especially where case is secured to
opening - to prevent warping or distorting.
Check installed case for distortion using
carpenter's square.
A finished opening 23-inches wide x 16-inches high is recommended. The lower left inside corner of opening must be
within 5 feet of an appropriate electrical outlet (see Use and
Care manual for electrical requirements.)
When wall thickness exceeds 5

Brick Veneer or Frame Wall Construction.
See CAUTION under General Instructions. Cut or build
rough opening large enough to allow a framed, finished
opening 15 9/16-inches high and 22 13/16-inches wide.
When case is properly positioned in opening, secure it to
framing material with nails or screws driven through holes
in sides of outer case (shim case and predrill holes before
securing).

in opening, secure it in place with mortar or concrete nails
driven through holes in sides of outer case (shim case and
predrill holes before securing with nails).
Framed/Finished Opening
(brick veneer or frame wall construction)
Placement of Outer Case in Opening
Place outer case in opening, flush against one side of
opening. Use carpenter’s level and ensure case is level
from side to side and has a 3/8-inch slope from front to
back (back of case must be 3/8-inch lower than front to ensure proper condensate drainage). If needed, use shims
to level case (from side to side) and to obtain proper back
slope.
Front of case must project ¾-inch (minimum) beyond inside wall in order to attach air conditioner front frame. If
framing indoor side of opening with wood molding (or other
decorative material), extend outer case ¾-inch beyond
molding.
When case is properly positioned in opening, use wood
shims to fill any gaps between case and finished opening,
especially in area where case will be secured to opening.
Take care not to warp or distort case when installing
shims. For condensate drainage, install drainage cup in
drain hole on baseplate of case.

Installation in Wall Thicker Than 5 ½ inches
The side louvers in outer case provide ventilation to air
conditioner compressor and fan motor and must not be
blocked. When installing unit in a wall over 5 ½-inches
thick, provisions must be made in wall opening to ensure
free air flow to the side louvers. This can be accomplished
by chamfering the vertical portions of the outside opening
as shown.
Ventilation louvers on top of case must not be obstructed.
Do not attempt to install unit in walls thicker than
10½-inches.

Operating Controls
Controls
Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the
best possible results.
This section explains proper air conditioner operation.
IMPORTANT:
•If you turn off the air conditioner, wait at least 3 minutes
before turning it back on. This prevents the air conditioner from blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.
•Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling
mode when outside temperature is below 61°F (16°C).
Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the heating
mode when outside temperature is over 86°F (30°C).
NOTES:
1.NOTE: Factory default setting is for °F. To convert to
°C, press the INCREASE
/ DECREASE
buttons
simultaneously for approximately 5 seconds. To return
to °F , repeat the procedure.
2.In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will
operate at the previous settings when the power is
restored.
Lights next to the touch pads on the air conditioner control
panel indicate the selected settings.

•The remote control signal has a range of up to 20 feet.
•Make sure nothing is between the air conditioner and
the remote control that could block the signal.
•Make sure your batteries are fresh and installed cor-
rectly as indicated on the remote control.
Energy Saver Mode
Controls the fan.
ON - The fan will cycle on and of f with the compressor.
This results in wider variations of room temperature
and humidity and is normally used when the room is
unoccupied.
NOTE: The fan may continue to run for a short time after
the compressor cycles off.
OFF - The fan runs all the time, while the compressor
cycles on and off.
Fan Only Mode
Use the FAN ONLY mode at LOW, MED or HIGH fan
speed to provide air circulation and filtering without cooling. Since the fan only settings do not provide cooling, a
SET temperature cannot be entered. The room temperature will appear in the display .
NOTE: Auto Fan S peed cannot be used when in the FAN
ONLY mode.
Heat Mode (on some models)
Use the HEAT mode at LOW, MED, HIGH or AUTO FAN
SPEED for heating. Use the TEMPERA TURE INCREASE
/ DECREASE pads to set the desired temperature between 61°F and 86°F in 1°F increments.
Cool Mode
Use the COOL mode at LOW, MED, HIGH, or AUTO
FAN SPEED for cooling. Use the TEMPERATURE IN-
CREASE / DECREASE pads to set the desired
temperature between 61°F and 86°F in 1° increments.
The compressor will cycle on and off to keep the room at
the set level of comfort. Set the thermostat at a lower
number and the indoor air will become cooler. Set the
thermostat at a higher number and the indoor air will become warmer.
NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and then turned on
while set to a COOL setting, or if it is turned from a fan
setting to a COOL setting, it may take approximately 3
minutes for the compressor to start and cooling to begin.
Cooling Descriptions
For Normal Cooling - Select the COOL mode and HIGH
or MED fan with a middle set temperature.
For Maximum Cooling - Select the COOL mode and
HIGH fan with a lower set temperature.
For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling - Select the COOL
mode and LOW fan with a middle set temperature.
Auto Fan Speed
Set to AUTO fan speed for the fan speed to automatically set to the speed needed to provide optimum comfort settings with the set temperature. If the room needs
more cooling, the fan speed will automatically increase.
If the room needs less cooling, the fan speed will automatically decrease.
NOTE: Auto Fan S peed cannot be used when in the FAN
ONLY mode.
Power Outage Recovery Feature
In the case of a power outage or interruption, the unit will
automatically re-start in the settings last used, after the
power is restored. If the Delay 1-24 hr feature was set,
it will resume countdown. You may need to set a new
time if desired.
