Introduction

Before Operating Your Unit

Make sure the wiring is adequate for your unit.

If you have fuses, they should be of the time delay type. Before you install or relocate this unit, be sure that

the amperage rating of the circuit breaker or time delay fuse does not exceed the amp rating listed in figure 1.

DO NOT use an extension cord.

The cord provided will carry the proper amount of electrical power to the unit; an extension cord will not.

Make sure that the receptacle is compatible with the wall plug provided.

This insuresproper grounding. If you have a two-prong receptacle you will need to have the circuit replaced
by a certified electricianwith a grounded circuit that meets all national and local codes and ordinances. You
must use the three-prong plug furnished with the air conditioner.

For the Best Cooling Performance and Energy Efficiency

Keep the filter clean

Make sure that your air conditioner isalways in top performing condition by cleaning the filter regularly.
Instructions for removing and cleaning the filter can be found on page 7.

Provide good airflow

Make sure that the airflow to and from the unit is clear. Your air conditioner puts the air out at the top of
the unit, and takes in air atthe bottom. Airflow iscritical for good operation. It is just as important on the
outside of the building that the airflow around the unit exterior is not blocked.

Unit Placement

If your air conditioner can be placed in a window or a wall that is shaded by a tree or another building, the

unitwill operate even moreefficiently. Using drapes or blinds on the sunny side of the dwelling will also
add to your unit's efficiency.
