Precautions
Safety
NOTE
The power supply cord with this
air conditioner contains a current
detection device designed to reduce
the risk of fire.
Please refer to the section Operation of
Current Device for details.
In the event that the power supply cord
is damaged, it can not be repaired. It
must be replaced with a cord from the
manufacturer.
WARNING - For your safety
• Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Avoid fire hazard or electric shock.
Do not use an extension cord or an
adaptor plug. Do not remove any
prongs from the power cord.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Do not, under any
circumstances, cut,
remove or bypass
the grounding prong.
WARNING - Electrical Information
The complete electrical rating of
your new room air conditioner is
stated on the serial plate. Refer to the
rating when checking the electrical
requirements.
• Be sure the air conditioner is
properly grounded. To minimize
shock and fire hazards, proper
grounding is important. The power
cord is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for protection against
shock hazards.
• Your air conditioner must be
connected to a properly grounded
wall receptacle. If the wall receptacle
you intend to use is not adequately
grounded or protected by a time
delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a
qualified electrician install the proper
receptacle.
• Ensure the receptacle is accessible
after the unit installation.
• Do not run air conditioner without
outside protective cover in place.
This could result in mechanical
damage within the air conditioner.

WARNING - Prevent Accidents
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your air
conditioner, follow basic precautions, including the following:
• Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen. This
information can be found on the serial plate, which is located on the side of the
cabinet and behind the grille.
• If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to clean
both sides of the glass first. If the window is a triple-track type with a screen panel
included, remove the screen completely before installation.
• Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to
the installation instructions in this manual. Save this manual for possible future use
in removing or installing this unit.
• When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins
on front and rear coils.

Air Conditioner Operation
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, personal injury or property, read the
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS before operating this appliance.
NOTE
The cooling mode has an automatic 3 minutes time delayed start if the unit is turned
off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible tripping.
TO BEGIN OPERATING THE AIR CONDITIONER, FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
1. Set the lowest number (coldest setting).
2. Set the selector control to the highest COOL setting.
3. Adjust the louver for comfortable air flow (see Air Directional Louvers).
4. Once the room feels colder, adjust the setting you find most comfortable.
5. Make sure that the air flow inside and outside are not obstructed by anything.
6. This air conditioner is designed to be operated under the following conditions:
Outdoor temp.: 64-109°F/18-43°C (64-125°F/18-52°C

To operate on Auto feature:
• When you set the air conditioner to
AUTO mode, it will automatically select
cooling or fan only operation depending
on what temperature you have selected
and the current room temperature.
• The air conditioner will control room
temperature automatically according
to the temperature you’ve set.
• In this mode, the fan speed cannot be
adjusted, as it’s automatically controlled
according to the temperature setting
and room temperature.
To operate on Fan Only:
• Use this function only when cooling is not
desired, such as for room air circulation
or to exhaust stale air (on some models).
(Remember to open the vent during
this function, but keep it closed during
cooling for maximum cooling efficiency.)
You can choose any fan speed you prefer.
• During this function, the display will
show the actual room temperature,
not the set temperature as in the
cooling mode.
• In Fan Only mode, the temperature is
not adjusted.
To operate on Dry mode:
In this mode, the air conditioner will
generally function as a dehumidifier. Since
the conditioned space is a closed or sealed
area, some degree of cooling will occur.

3. INSTALL THE ACCORDION PANELS
NOTE
Top rail and side panels at each side are offset to provide the proper pitch to the rear of
5/16” (8mm). This is necessary for proper condensed water management and drainage. If
you are not using the side panels for any reason, this pitch to the rear must be maintained.
1. Place unit on floor, a bench or a table. There is a left and right side accordion panel; be
sure to use the proper panel for each side. When installed, the flange for securing the
panel in place to the window sill will be facing into the room.
A. Hold the side panel in one hand and gently pull back the center to free the open
end. See Fig. 1.
B. Slide the free and “
Slide the panel down. Be sure to leave enough space to slip the top and bottom of
the frame into the rails on the cabinet.
