If the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to exchange the existing receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances. The third ground prong should not, under any circumstances, be cut or removed. Never use the cord, the plug or the appliance when they show any sign of damage. Do not use your appliance with an extension cord unless it has been checked and tested by a qualiﬁ ed electrician or electrical supplier.

Ce produit arrive d’origine avec un cordon d’alimentation équipé d’une prise à trois ﬁ ches. Il doit être branché dans une prise avec une ﬁ che de mise à la terre en conformité avec le Code national de l’électricité et les codes et règles locaux applicables. Si la prise murale n’a pas de mise à la terre, il est de la responsabilité et l’obligation du client de changer la prise existante pour la rendre conforme au Code national de l’électricité et aux codes et règles locaux applicables. La ﬁ che de mise à la terre ne doit pas, en aucune circonstance, être coupée ou retirée. Si vous apercevez des signes de dommage, n’utilisez jamais le cordon d’alimentation, la prise ou l’appareil. N’utilisez jamais l’appareil avec une rallonge sauf si elle a été vériﬁ ée et testée par un électricien qualiﬁ é ou un fournisseur de matériel électrique.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Your appliance is designed to be highly efﬁ cient in energy savings. Follow these recommendations for greater efﬁ -

ciency.

1. Select a thermostat setting that suits your comfort needs and leave at that chosen setting.

2. The air ﬁ lter is very efﬁ cient in removing airborne particles. Keep the air ﬁ lter clean at all times. (Usually cleaned every 2 weeks depending on indoor air quality.)

3. Use drapes, curtains or shades to keep direct sunlight from penetrating and heating the room, but do not allow drapes or curtains to obstruct the air ﬂ ow around the unit.

4. Start your air conditioner before the outdoor air becomes hot, to avoid an initial period of discomfort while the unit is cooling the room.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

LOCATION

1. This room air conditioner is designed to ﬁ t easily into a single or double hung window. However, since window designs vary, it may be necessary to make some modiﬁ cations for safe, proper installation.

2. Make sure window and frame are structurally sound and free from dry and rotted wood.

3. For maximum efﬁ ciency, install the air conditioner on a side of the house or building which favours more shade than sunlight. If the unit is in direct sunlight, it is advisable to provide an awning over the unit.

4. Provide sufﬁ cient clearance around the cabinet to allow for ample air circulation through the unit (See Fig. 2). The rear of the unit should be outdoors. It should not be in a garage, or inside a building. Keep unit as far away as possible from obstacles/obstructions and at least 30” above the ﬂ oor or ground. Curtains and other objects within the room should be prevented from blocking the air ﬂ ow.

5. Be certain that the proper electrical outlet is within reach of the installation. Use only a single outlet circuit rated at 15 amps. All wiring should be in accordance with local and national electrical codes.

6. DO NOT install unit where leakage of combustible gas is suspected. Your air conditioner may fail to operate in air containing oils (including machine oils), sulﬁ de gas, near hot springs, etc.

NOTE: Your unit is designed to evaporate condensation under normal conditions. However, under extreme humidity con- ditions, excess condensation may cause basepan to overﬂ ow to the outside. The unit should be installed where condensation run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighbouring properties.

NOTE: It is normal for your unit to drip a small amount of water, especially on excessively humid days.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

1. Assembly of the upper channel to the cabinet (factory installed on some units).

• “L” Shaped Top Channel: install the “L” shaped channel to the top of the cabinet as shown in Fig. 3, using four (4) 3/8” screws.

2. Assembly of the side curtains to the cabinet.

• Extend the shutter from the shutter frame and slide it into the shutter tabs on the side channel of the air conditioner, as shown in Fig. 4.

• Slide the shutters into the top (“L” shaped) and bottom (“U” shaped) channels. The shutters are identiﬁ ed (on frame) as left and right.

Fig. 3

3. Completing the installation.

• Carefully place the air conditioner into the window with the “L” shaped mounting bracket (on top) positioned in front of the upper window sash. The bottom of the cabinet should be positioned on the “recessed” portion of the window frame. Pull the window down until it rests just behind the front ﬂ ange of the (top) “L” shaped mounting bracket (See Fig. 5).

• Expand the shutter frames (fully) on each side and secure the top of the frames to the window sash using one 1/2” screw on each side and one in the “L” shaped mounting bracket (Fig. 5).

• Secure the shutter clamp on each side of the lower part of the shutter, and secure to window sill using one 1/2” screw on each side (Fig. 5).

• Place the second foam sealing strip to ﬁ t the opening between the inside and outside windows, then attach the safety lock to the outside window frame using one 1/2” screw (See Fig. 6).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ASSEMBLY AND INST ALLATION

Fig. 7

Check that the air conditioner is tilted downwards to the outside, about 3° to 4°, as shown in Fig. 7. After proper installation, condensed water should not drain from the overﬂ ow drain hole during normal use. If you notice water leaking out, check the angle of tilt, and make any necessary adjustments. However, on a very humid day, water leakage can occur – this is normal.

Measure the tilt angle from the cabinet’s edge. The distance H should be approximately 5/8” to 3/4”.

Measure the tilt angle from the cabinet’s edge

: approximately 5/8” to 3/4”

CONTROLS

FAN SPEEDS:

• LOW FAN will circulate air at minimum speed without cooling.

• HIGH FAN will circulate air at maximum speed without cooling. SELECTOR SWITCH: The selector switch controls cooling mode. Simply rotate the SELECTOR knob to one of the two

settings described below.

COOLING MODES:

• LOW COOL provides cooling with minimum air circulation. Recommended for night-time use.

• HIGH COOL provides cooling with maximum air circulation. Recommended for quick cooling or for extremely hot days. Once room is cooled, reduce setting to LOW COOL.

• OFF shuts the unit down completely.

NOTE: Always allow 3 minutes before switching from one mode to another. THERMOSTAT: The thermostat automatically controls the (compressor) cooling cycle and maintains the selected room

temperature. To set the thermostat, rotate the thermostat knob to the desired cooling setting (1 warmest - 7 coldest).

Turn the selector switch slowly, allowing the unit to adjust. When using THERMOSTAT, be sure to allow three minutes before changing the temperature. Adjusting too quickly may cause compressor to overload.
