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.
Receptacle Wiring
Receptacle wiring must be of adequate size for unit. Refer
to unit identification plate for exact power requirements.
Minimum size of wiring, based on power requirements, is:
Units up to 20 amps: 12 gauge
20–30 amp units: 10 gauge
• Unit with a window mounting kit
These models are designed for mounting though an
opening in a wall. These units can be adapted to
window installation by using the optional window mounting kit supplied with your unit.
• Unit without a window mounting kit
No window mounting kit is supplied with the unit.
These models are designed for mounting through an
opening in a wall. These units can be adapted to
window installation by purchasing an optional window
mounting kit. Consult your dealer to choose the kit that
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:
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
Disconnect ALL power before
servicing or installing this unit.
Multiple power sources may be
present. Failure to do so may cause
property damage, personal injury,
or death.
CAUTION
Instal l in g an air conditioner through a wall requ ires
extensive carpentry and/or masonry experience.
Thru-wall installations performed by inexperienced
or unqualified individuals can result in costly
damage to home or result in equipment malfunction
that could cause property damage, personal injury
or death.
Annual Inspection
It is suggested that your unit be inspected by your dealer or
servicer once a year. It is advisable to have the outer case
removed and the unit thoroughly cleaned.
3
Note: The life of your unit may be greatly reduced if you live
in a salt air or other corrosive type environment. Under these
conditions, the unit should be removed from its case and
completely cleaned at least once a year. At that time any
scratches or blisters on the painted surfaces should be
sanded and repainted. Placing an algaecide tablet in the
outdoor side of the unit’s basepan is suggested in humid
areas where algae formation is common. We recommend the
®
following algaecide cleaners: PanGuard
Technologies, Inc. and CDC Anti-Clog
by Control Released
®
by Virginia KMP.
Air Filter Cleaning
A dirty air filter reduces operating efficiency of unit. Filter
should be inspected at least once every week during operation. Clean filter with vacuum cleaner or wash in warm water
and mild detergent. Filter should be thoroughly dried before
replacing in unit. Do not operate unit without filter in place.
Fan Motor Care
The fan motor is permanently lubricated for long life. There is
no need to oil the motor.
Front Grille and Filter Removal
The front contains an air filter that can be removed on left or
right side of front. To clean the filter, the following method for
filter removal:
Grasp filter handle and slide filter out of unit.
1. Remove two side Phillips screws attaching case to
chassis basepan.
2. Remove two side Phillips screws attaching front to case.
Slide-out Chassis Removal from Outer Case
3. If the unit has a screw holding the basepan clip to the
chassis, remove the screw.
CAUTION
T o reduce the risk of personal injury, be sure to
have sufficient help wh en moving your unit . A
room air conditioner can weigh between 70 and
240 pounds.
4. Using basepan handle, pull chassis straight out, slowly
and evenly, until approximately 9-12 inches extends
from outer case. Use both hands to grasp basepan and
pull remaining chassis from outer case.
Reinstall air filter by reversing removal procedure.
Front Grille and Cabinet Cleaning
Grille and cabinet may be cleaned with warm water and mild
soap or detergent. Cleaning and polishing compounds are not
recommended, as they may damage plastic surfaces.

Recommended grounding method
This air conditioner must be grounded. This air conditioner is
equipped with a power supply cord having a grounded 3 prong
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, grounded 3 prong outlet, grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet
is not available, it is the customer's responsibility to have a
properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified electrical
installer.
It is the customer's responsibility:
■
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
■
To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

Power Supply Cord
NOTE: Your unit’s device may differ from the ones shown.
This room air conditioner is equipped with a power supply cord
required by UL. This power supply cord contains state-of-the-art
electronics that sense leakage current. If the cord is crushed, the
electronics detect leakage current and power will be
disconnected in a fraction of a second.
To test your power supply cord:
1. Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Press RESET.
3. Press TEST (listen for click; Reset button will trip and pop
out).
4. Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will
latch and remain in). The power supply cord
is ready for
operation.
NOTES:
■
The Reset button must be pushed in for proper operation.
■
The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to trip when
the test button is pressed or fails to reset.
■
Do not use the power supply cord as an off/on switch. The
power supply cord is designed as a protective device.
■
A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new
power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer
and must not be repaired.
■
The power supply cord contains no user serviceable parts.
Opening the tamper-resistant case voids all warranty and
performance claims.
