A FEW WORDS ABOUT YOUR NEW AIR CONDITIONER
Thank you for choosing a Carrier Air Conditioner! You can feel confident in your selection because the same
pride in craftsmanship and engineering knowledge that went into Carrier equipment installed in the Astrodome
in Texas, the Sistine Chapel in Rome; the United States Capitol halls of Congress, and thousands of other
installations worldwide has gone into the construction of your unit.
One of the principal advantages of owning a Carrier room air conditioner with electric heat is that the unit
heats AND cools, so it can be used year-round! (Only on models with heat feature)
While cooling, your new Carrier unit also filters and dehumidifies. In cold weather, the unit gently heats
and circulates air throughout the room. Carrier room air conditioners with electric heat quietly give you
maximum cooling comfort!
This Owner's Guide will supply you with all the information you need for installing, operating and maintaining
your new unit. Take a few moments to discover how to get the most in cooling comfort and economical
operation from your new room air conditioner.
SOME SUGGESTIONS
1. To avoid installation difficulties, read instructions completely before starting. This publication
contains information pertinent to the installation and operation of your new room air conditioner.
2. When possible, install unit on a shaded side of the house or building.
CAUTION
Coil fins on chassis are sharp and chassis is heavy. Chassis removal can cause personal injury.
3. Make sure that wall mounting area is structurally sound enough to support the unit.
4. For heat units, the heat is not for primary source of heat.
5. Room air conditioners are designed to fit easily into standard double-hung windows.
However, some window frame design variations require changes to modification to
the window for safe, proper installation. If assistance is needed, please call your local Carrier
Distributor. If there is no distributor in your area, call 1-800-CARRIER (227-7437).
