UNIT SPECIFICATIONS

CAUTION: Do not leave a room air conditioner unattended in a room where people or

animals who cannot react to a failed unit are located. A failed unit can cause extreme
overheating and fire in an enclosed, unattended space.

READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE USING

1) All wiring must comply with local and
national electrical codes and must be installed
by a qualified electrician. If you have any
questions regarding the following instructions,
contact a qualified electrician.

2) Check available power supply and resolve
any wiring problems BEFORE installing and
operating this unit.

3) This 115V air conditioner uses 10 or less
nameplate amps and may be used in any
properly wired, general purpose household
receptacle. See Table 1 for specifications for
individual branch circuit.

4) For your safety and protection, this unit is
grounded through the power cord plug when
plugged into a matching wall outlet. If you are
not sure whether your wall outlet is properly
grounded, please consult a qualified electrician.

5) The wall outlet must match the 3-prong plug
on the service cord supplied with the unit. DO
NOT use plug adapters. See Table 2 for
receptacle and fuse information. If it is
necessary to use an extension cord to connect
your air conditioner, use an approved “air
conditioner” extension cord only (available
at most local hardware stores).

6) The rating plate on the unit contains
electrical and other technical data. The rating
plate is located on the right side of the unit,
above the power cord.

Your Danby appliance is designed to be highly efficient in energy
savings. Follow these recommendations for greater efficiency.

1) Select a thermostat setting that suits your

comfort needs and leave at that chosen
setting.

2) The filter is very efficient in removing
airborne particles. Keep the air filter clean.
Normally, filters should be cleaned every 2
weeks. More frequent cleaning may be
necessary depending on indoor air quality.

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

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

5) When outdoor temperatures are 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.

INSTALLATION HARDWARE

Your Room Air Conditioner is designed for easy
installtion in a single or double-hung window. This unit
is NOT designed for vertical (slider type) windows
and/or through-the-wall applications.

NOTE: Save the shipping carton and packing materials
for future storage or transport of the unit. From carton,
remove the plastic bag containing the installation
hardware kit necessary for the installation of your air
conditioner. Please check the contents of hardware kit
against the corresponding model check list, prior to
installation of the unit. See Fig. 1.

CAUTION: Because the compressor is located on

the controls side of the unit (left side), this side will be
heavier and more awkward to manipulate. Inadequate
support on control side of the unit can result in personal
injury and damage to your unit and property. Therefore, it
is recommended that you have someone assist you during
the installation of this unit.

INSTALLATION

LOCATION

A) This room air conditioner is 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,
proper installation.

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

C) For maximum efficiency, 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.

D) Provide sufficient clearance around the cabinet
to allow for ample air circulation through the unit
(See Fig. 2). The rear of the unit should be
outdoors and not in a garage nor inside a building.
Keep unit as far away as possible from
obstacles/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 15 amps. All wiring
should be in accordance with local and
national electrical codes.

F) 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), sulfide gas, near
hot springs, etc.

2) Assembly of the Side Curtains to 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.

3) Completing the Installation

• Cut the foam (non adhesive) sealing strip to fit the
area of the window sill that the air conditioner will
rest on.

• 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
flange 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 3/4” screw on each side and one in the
“L” shaped mounting bracket (Fig. 5).

• Secure the shutter clamp on each side of the
(lower) shutter and secure to window sill using one
3/4” screw on each side (Fig. 5).

• Place the second foam sealing strip to fit the
opening between the inside and outside windows,
then attach the safety lock to the outside window
frame using one 3/4” screw (See Fig. 6).
