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

WARNING

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:

CAUTION

Installing an air conditioner through a wall requires extensive carpentry and/or mason ry exp eri en ce. Thru-wall installa t ions pe rformed 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.

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

Optional Charcoal Air Filter Installation

Remove charcoal air filter from plastic bag. Insert three tabs on right side of filter into three slots on filter frame. Carefully bow middle of filter until two tabs on filter can be inserted into two slots on filter frame. Relax bow.

Front Grille and Filter Removal

The front contains an air filter that can be removed. To clean the filter, use the following method for filter removal.

Grasp exhaust grille and hinge up.

Grasp filter handle and slide filter out of unit.

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.

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.

Slide-out Chassis Removal from Outer Case

1. Hinge front grille up.

2. Remove air filter by grasping handle and lifting up.

3. Remove 3 screws (1 each side and 1 behind filter) holding plastic front to unit and remove front.

4. 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 when moving your unit. A room air conditioner can weigh between 70 and 240 pounds.

5. 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.

NOTE: Basepan clip is shipped in plastic bag with mounting

screw and condensate drain cup. Install clip after reinserting chassis into outer case to prevent accidental chassis removal.

General Operating Instructions

While operation of all units is similar, controls vary slightly

from model to model. Operating Controls section shows

control panel of unit purchased and gives detailed information about operation of controls.

Initial Start-Up and Cooling

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.

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 amounts 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 below). To install, remove the unit chassis from the outer case. Insert the condensate drain cup through the recessed ½” hole on the back center flange 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.

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. Unit also has automatic left to right air

movement with "Circulaire" feature. (See page 15 under

Operating Controls.)

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 26 1/8-inches wide x 17-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 9-inches, opening must be modified to allow air to enter side louvers on case (see special instructions on back ). Do not install air conditioner in walls thicker than 11 2/5-inches.

Brick Veneer or Frame Wall Construction

See CAUTION under General Instructions. Cut or build

rough opening large enough to allow a framed, finished opening 17-inches high and 26 1/8-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).

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.

To cancel the timer , press and hold the TIMER 0.5-24 hr pad until the light on the TIMER 0.5-24 hr pad goes off.

u Swing Pad

Turn on to provide continuous side-to-side air circulation. For fixed side-to-side air direction, turn on until the desired air direction is obtained, then turn it off.

Remote Control:

• To ensure proper operation, aim the remote control at the signal receiver on the air conditioner.

• 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 correctly as indicated on the remote control.

Cool Mode

Use the COOL mode at LOW, MED, HIGH, or AUTO FAN SPEED for cooling. Use the TEMPERATURE INCREASE  / DECREASE  pads to set the desired

temperature between 61° 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.

Energy Saver Mode

Controls the fan.

ON - The fan will cycle on and off 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 Speed 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 TEMPERATURE INCREASE

 / DECREASE  pads to set the desired temperature between 61°F and 86°F in 1°F increments.

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 Speed 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 TIMER 0.5-24 hr feature was set, it will resume countdown. You may need to set a new time if desired.
