CAUTION
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to unit
components.
To avoid installation/operating difficulties, read the
instructions thoroughly.
TEST
Fig. 3 --- Power Supply Cord
RESET
A06531
Your Room Air Conditioner unit is designed to be highly efficient
and save energy. Follow these recommendations for greater
efficiency.
1. Select thermostat setting that suits your comfort needs and
leave the thermostat at that chosen setting.
2. The air filter is very efficient in removing airborne particles.
Keep the air filter clean. Typically, the filter should be
cleaned once a month. More frequent cleaning may be
necessary depending on outdoor and indoor air quality.
3. Use drapes, curtains, or shades to keep direct sunlight from
heating your room, but DO NOT obstruct the air
conditioner. Allow air to circulate around the unit without
obstructions.
4. Start your air conditioner before outdoor air becomes
hot/cold and uncomfortable. This avoids an initial period of
discomfort while the unit is cooling or heating off the room.
5. When outdoor temperature is cool enough, use HIGH or
LOW FAN only. This circulates indoor air, providing some
cooling comfort, and utilizes less electricity than when
operating on a cooling setting.
Your Room Air Conditioner was designed for easy installation in a
single or double--hung window.
NOTE: This unit is NOT designed for vertical (slider type)
windows.
POWER SUPPLY CORD
This room air conditioner is equipped with a protective power
supply cord that senses current leakage (see Fig. 3). Unit power is
automatically disconnected when unsafe conditions are detected.

CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY/UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury
and/or damage to unit components.
It is recommended to have someone assist you during the
installation of this unit because the compressor is located on
the controls side of the unit (right side) and this side will be
heavier and more awkward to manipulate.
Step 1 —Select the Best Location
A. Your room air conditioner was designed to fit easily into a
single or double hung window. However, since window
designs vary, it may be necessary to make some modifications
for safe and proper installation.
B. Make sure window and frame is structurally sound and free
from dry and rotted wood.
C. For maximum efficiency, install the air conditioner on side of
the house or building which favors more shade than sunlight.
If the unit is in direct sunlight, it is advisable to provide an
awning over the unit.
D. Provide sufficient clearance around the cabinet to allow for
ample air circulation through the unit (see Fig. 5). The rear of
the unit should be outdoors and not in a garage nor inside of a
building. Keep unit as far away as possible from obstacles and
obstructions and at least 30” above the floor or ground.
Curtains and other objects within a room should be prevented
from blocking the air flow.
E. Be certain the proper electrical outlet is within reach of the
installation. Use only a single outlet circuit rated at proper
current (see table 1 on page 4). All wiring should be in
accordance with local and national electrical codes.
F. Your unit was designed to evaporate condensation under
normal conditions. However, under extreme humidity
conditions, excess condensation may cause the basepan to
overflow to the outside. The unit should be installed where
condensationrun--off cannot drip onpedestrians or
neighboring properties.

Step 5 —Installation of Mounting Brackets and First Sealing
Strip
NOTE: Windows come in a variety of different styles. Therefore,
it may be necessary to modify or improve your particular
installation.
A. Attach the bracket assembly to 90 angle support brackets (Fig.
10) using (2) 1 1/2” bolts, two bolts per bracket. Secure with
the (2) 1/4” lock washers and (2) 1/4”nuts. DO NOT
immediately tighten these bolts as it may be necessary to adjust
the depth of the bracket assembly, depending on the depth of
your window sill. See (Fig. 12).Install the two leveling screws
into the 90 support brackets. Test the bracket assembly in the
window before cabinet installation. If the leveling screws are
distanced too far away from the wall to provide stability, it may
be necessary for you to fill this area with a solid piece of wood.
See (Fig. 13).
B. Measure the inside window sill width and find the center as
shown in (Fig. 11). Align the V--slot in each bracket on these
marks and mount the brackets to the sill using 3/4” screws
provided. Brackets should be perpendicular to the inside
window sill. See (Fig. 11).

the bracket assembly. Secure the cabinet to the bracket using
(3) 1/4” screws provided. Repeat the same procedure on the
opposite side of the cabinet. See (Fig. 15).
B. Ensure the ”L” shaped mounting channel is positioned in front
of the sash. The bottom channel of the cabinet should be
positioned in the track provided on the bracket assembly. Pull
the window down until it rests just behind the front of the ”L”
shaped mounting channel. See (Fig. 16).
C. Check to make sure that the cabinet is slanted slightly
downward on the outside. If necessary, re-- adjust support
bracket as shown in (Fig. 12).
Step 7 —Secure Shutters
A. Carefully slide the air conditioner back into the cabinet.
(Please seek assistance for this procedure).
B. Reinstall the slide--out--chassis security screws (removed
earlier) on both sides of the cabinet (see Fig. 12). Secure the
top of the frames to the window sash with (2) 3/4” screws.
C. Now, secure bottom frame of shutters using one shutter clamp
and one 3/4” screw on each side (see Fig. 12).
Step 8 —Reinstalling Front Panel Assembly
A. Position the front panel on the cabinet starting at the top. The
front panel lock tabs must be inserted into the retaining slots in
the cabinet. Repeat this procedure on all sides.
B. Secure the front grille to the cabinet using the Philips screws
removed earlier (see Fig. 6).
Step 9 —Complete the installation
A. Cut the foam to fit the opening between the top of the inside
and outside window (see Fig. 18).
B. Some installations may require additional sealing around
the window and air conditioner. Check for any air leaks and
seal where necessary.
C. In very humid areas, the water removal may be excessive
enough to overflow the unit or increase the noise of the air
conditioner. If this occurs, you may wish to attach a drain hose
(not included) to the drain plug allowing condensations to run
off conveniently (see Fig. 19).
NOTE:Fresh Air ventilation is usually kept in the closed
position. Use only when clearing smoke and/or odors from the
room. Pull to open (see Fig. 20).

STORM WINDOW APPLICATIONS
If the window is blocked by a storm window and the storm
window cannot be removed, a mounting board (field provided)
will need to be added to the window sash. The air conditioner
needs to be pitched downward to the back in order for condensate
to drain properly.
The frame of the storm window (or any other obstruction) must be
at least 1/2“. lower than the window sill. If the storm window
frame is not at least 1/2“. below the window sill, then a mounting
board will need to be added to raise the height of the window sill
(see Fig. 21). The board will need to be provided and cut by the
installer.
1. The wood mounting board should be a minimum of 1--1/2”
wide and should run the length of the window. The
thickness of the mounting board is dependent on the height
of the storm window frame. The mounting board should
raise the front of the air conditioner high enough so that the
unit will be pitched downward at least 5/8” when the back
of the unit is resting on the storm window frame. See Fig.
21.
2. Cut the wood mounting board to fit the window.
3. Install the wood mounting board on the window using 2
field-- provided nails or screws.
4. Drain holes or slots in storm window frame must not be
caulked or painted shut. Holes are needed to drain rain
water and condensate. Ensure that trapped water can drain
out.

WALL INSTALLATION
To install the room air conditioner in the wall, perform the
following procedure:
1. Remove air conditioner from shipping box. Do not install
window installation parts.
2. Determine the location for air conditioner. Make sure there
is adequate clearance on the inside and outside of the wall.
Ensure that the power cord will reach the available socket
without an extension cord. Air conditioner can be installed
in walls up to 7” thick. Side louvers must never be blocked.
Select a wall surface that:
SDoes not support major structural loads such as the frame
construction at ends of windows and under truss--bearing
points
SDoes not have plumbing or wiring routed inside
SIs near existing electrical outlets ornear where a newoutlet
can be installed
SFaces the area to be cooled and is not blocked by
obstructions
SAllows unblocked airflow from rear (outside) of installed
air conditioner
3. The following parts will need to be provided by the
installer:
4. Working from the inside of the room, find a wall stud
nearest the center of the area where the air conditioner will
be installed. This can be determined by sounding walls or
using a stud finder.
5. Cut or knock out a hole on each side of the center stud. (See
Fig. 22.)
IMPORTANT: Read entire instructions before cutting hole in
wall.
6. Measure between the inside edges of every other stud as
showninFig.22
7. Follow all local building codes when building and installing
frame. Build a wooden frame that will be placed around the
unit in the wall. The frame will reinforce the hole in the wall
where the air conditioner is installed and is used to secure
the air conditioner to the wall. The depth of the frame
should approximately match the depth of the wall. The
thickness of the frame will need to be added to the
dimensions to determine the size of the hole in the wall.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to measure air conditioner to check size
before constructing frame.
For example, if using 3/4” thick wood for the frame, the hole
would need to be: 20-- 1/2” + 3/4” + 3/4” = 22” wide.
IMPORTANT: If thickness of the wall covers top and side vents
of the air conditioner when it is installed, the outer portion of the
wall opening must be widened. The top and side vents must be
clear and uncovered.
8. After the frame has been constructed, check to make sure
that the air conditioner fits correctly inside it. If the frame is
too tight or too loose, adjust the size or re--construct.
9. Measure the outer dimensions of the frame and use those
dimensions to cut the hole in the wall. Make sure the hole is
level or condensate will not drain properly.
10. Install wooden frame into hole in wall. Make sure frame is
properly secured. Fill in the space between the frame and
the studs with wood shims (spacers). Nails spacers to studs.
If required, provide studs around entire frame to reinforce
stability of wall (see Fig. 24).

11. Caulk joints in wood frame as required. If wall thickness is
7” or more, add aluminum flashing over bottom of frame
opening to ensure no water can enter area between inner and
outer wall.
12. Remove the chassis from the unit cabinet.
!
CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
Be careful when handling chassis. Sharp edges on coil fins
can cause personal injury.
13. Slide the empty cabinet into the wall opening and into
wooden frame. Approximately 2--1/2“ of the cabinet should
be in the room. The rest of the cabinet should be positioned
through and outside the wall. (See Fig. 25.) Maintain proper
slope for condensate drain operation. Bottom rail should be
resting firmly on bottom board of wooden frame.
14. Secure bottom rail to wood frame with two large wood
screws (1” long) using the two holes in the bottom of the
channel. (See Fig. 26.)
15. There are screw holes in the cabinet (4 each side, 4 top)
which are used to secure the cabinet to the wooden frame.
With the cabinet in its final position, drill holes in the
wooden frame using the screw holes in the cabinet as a
guide. After the holes have been drilled, secure the cabinet
to the wooden frame using field--supplied screws. See Fig.
27.
16. Caulk around wood frame and wall opening on outside wall
for a water--tight seal.
17. Optional caulking between the cabinet and the wooden
frame may be done on inside wall. Caulking provides an air
seal around the cabinet. Decorative wood trim may be
added to provide a more pleasing appearance.
18. Lift chassis and carefully slide it into the cabinet. Be sure
that it is firmly seated towards the rear of the cabinet.

MASONRY CONSTRUCTION
The air conditioner is installed the same way as the Wall
Installation section with a few exceptions. Follow all local and
national building codes.
The cabinet can be secured to the masonry by using masonry nail
or masonry anchor screws.
Another installation technique would be to construct a frame of
2 x 4s and install the frame between the wall opening and the
cabinet. The frame must be securely anchored to the masonry wall
opening.
Use a lintel to support masonry above wall opening. Install exterior
cabinet support brackets.
