• Do not operate unit with decorative front or filter
removed.
• Failure to follow these precautions could result in
electrical shock, fire or personal injury.
• 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.

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.

Window Requirements
Air conditioner is factory prepared for installation in
standard double hung windows (air conditioner cannot be
installed in other types of windows). The air conditioner
can be installed in windows 23” to 34” wide when filler
panels are used. In windows 19” to 22” wide the air
conditioner can be installed without the filler panels. All
windows must open at least 12 3/4” vertically.
Install the air conditioner in a window where there will be
enough clearance around the cabinet to allow ample
circulation of air through unit. All supporting parts should
be secured to firm wood, masonry, or metal.
