Safety Instructions
Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in
this manual are not meant to cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. Common
sense, caution and care must be exercised when
operating or cleaning tools and equipment.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or
manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not
understand.
_This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you
to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety
messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible
injury or death.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
Important Grounding Requirements
• Air conditioner has a three-prong grounding plug
on the power supply cord, which must be plugged
into a properly grounded three-prong wall
receptacle for your protection against possible
shock hazard. For models up to and including 7.5
amperes, use a grounding type wall receptacle to
match the cord plug.
• For models above 7.5 amperes use a single outlet
grounding type wall receptacle to match the cord
plug.
Do not operate this air conditioner without proper
time delay circuit protection (circuit breaker or fuse).
Refer to serial plate for proper power supply
requirements.

Electrical Shock Hazard
• Plug unit only into a grounded electrical outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord or plug adapter with
this unit. Do not alter cord or plug end. Do not
remove warning label on cord.
• Do not operate unit with decorative front or filter
removed.
• If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 115
volts and greater than 7.5 amps, it must have its
own fuse or circuit breaker, and no other device or
unit should be operated on that fuse or circuit
breaker.
• If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 230
volts, it must have its own fuse or circuit breaker,
and no other device or unit should be operated on
that fuse or circuit breaker.
• We recommend that a qualified electrician install
unit in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and local codes and ordinances.
• Use copper conductors of correct wire gauge and
protector size only.
Power Cord with
Arc Detection Device
The power cord supplied with this air conditioner is
equipped with an Arc Detection Device designed to shut
off power to the unit when it senses an arc fault condition.
An arc fault is an unintentional electrical discharge that
occurs when electrical products or wires are damaged,
aged, or improperly used. An arc fault can be potentially
hazardous if left undetected.
• Do not remove or modify this plug
• Do not use as an on/off switch
• Do not use outdoors
• Do not push furniture against or place furniture on the
electrical cord. This can trip the test switch and/or
damage the cord and become a potential condition
for arcing
• Do not attempt to repair the cord. If the cord requires
replacement, call an authorized servicer.
• The Arc Detection Device is not a Ground Fault
Interrupter and should not be used as such
• The Arc Detection Device contains an electronic circuit
board and should not be submerged or exposed to
water spray
Resetti ng
If the Arc Detection Device has tripped, the reset
button will pop up.
Follow these steps to reset the Arc Detection Device:
1. Unplug unit from electrical outlet
2. Press the reset button
3. Plug the unit back into electrical outlet
4. Check to see if power has returned to the unit
Testing
You should test the Arc Detection Device equipped
power cord monthly, after every major electrical storm,
or if power to your Room Air Conditioner has been
interrupted.
Follow these steps to test the Arc Detection Device:
1. Unplug unit from electrical outlet
2. Press the reset button
3. Plug the unit back into electrical outlet
4. Press test button. Unit should trip and reset button will
pop up.
5. Press reset button again for use

could cause permanent damage.
• Do not pour liquids on the air conditioner asthis could
cause a malfunction. With the unit unplugged, use a
damp cloth for cleaning the unit.
CAUTION
• Do not use strong solvents to clean the air conditioner.
• Clean the air conditioner filter every two weeks to
avoid overheating caused by air obstruction. Do not
operate without filter.
• Do not obstruct the air intake area of your air
conditioner, as this could cause overheating, thus
activating the unit's security switch and shutting off the
unit.
• Do not block air circulation to outside louvers of
cabinet.
• Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains, or
furniture, or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other
buildings.

Installing the window adapter kit
Note: The window adapter kit must be installed and
connected for the air conditioner to work properly in
Cool mode. The window adapter kit is not required
when using the unit in Dehumidify or Fan modes.
Your window adapter kit has been designed to fit
most standard vertical and horizontal window
applications. However, it may be necessary for you to
improvise/modify some aspects of the installation
procedures for certain types of windows.
1. Open window. (fig.A)
2. Place window panel with extensions into window
frame and adjust to width of window. (fig.B)
Window adapter kit may be installed vertically as
well as horizontally. This installaton may also be
used for crank style windows. (fig.E)
3. Tighten the four screws on the window panel to
secure the window panel extensions.
4,
Close window. (fig.C)
5.
The window adapter kit should now fit securely
within the window frame and you can now attach
the air exchange tubes. If you are having trouble
attaching the air exchange tubes, you may attach
the tubes prior to installing the window adapter kit.

Attaching the air exchange tubes to the air
conditioner
1. Attach the tubes to the window adapter kit.
2. Attach the other end to the air conditioner.
To attach air exchange tubes: push tube onto tube
adapter and twist until the tab is in place in the hole
on the tube.
To remove air exchange tubes: twist the end until the
tab is clear of the hole in the tube and pull off.
Maintain a clear distance (from walls, furniture, etc.)
of at least 10 inches around the unit to allow proper
air circulation and prevent damage to the unit.
Important: Do not over-stretch the exhaust tube or
make any unnecessary bends in it.
