TIPS BEFORE INSTALLATION
!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.
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.
To test the 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.
The Reset button must be pushed in for proper operation.
The power supply cord must be replaced if the RESET button fails to trip when the test button is pressed or fails to reset. A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer. The damaged cord MUST NOT be repaired.
Do not use the power supply cord as an off/on switch. The power supply cord is designed as a protective device.
The power supply cord contains no serviceable parts. Opening the tamper-resistant case voids all warranty and performance claims.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
!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 condensation run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighboring properties.

(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
S Does not have plumbing or wiring routed inside
SIs near existing electrical outlets or near where a new outlet 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:
Swood frame
S wood shims
Swood screws (no. 10, 1” long)
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 shown in Fig. 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.

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.
