Introduction

Before Operating Your Unit

Make sure the wiring is adequate for your unit.

If you havefuses, they should beof the time delay type. Beforeyou install or relocate this unit, be sure that
the amperage rating of the circuit breaker or time delay fuse does notexceed the amp rating listed in figure 1.

DO NOT use an extension cord.

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

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

This insures proper grounding. If you have a two-prong receptacle you will need to havethe circuit replaced
by a certified electrician with 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 is always in top performing condition by cleaning the filter regularly.

Instructionsfor removing and cleaningthe filter can be found on page 8.

Provide good airflow

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

Unit Placement

Ifyour air conditioner can be placed in a window or a wall that is shaded by a tree or another building, the
unit will operate even more efficiently. Using drapes or blinds on the sunny sideof the dwellingwill also
add toyour unit's efficiency.

/nsu/ation

Good insulation will be a big help in maintaining desirable comfort levels. Doorsshould have weather
stripping. Be sureto caulk around doors and windows.

Safety Precautions

How to Install the Unit

1.To prevent vibration and excess noise,
make sure the unit is installed securely
and firmly

2. Install the unit where the sunlight does not Cooled air
shine directly on the unit. _-_

3. The outside of the cabinet must extend
outward for at least 12" and there should __

z_

be no obstacles, such asa fence or wall,
within 20" from the back of the cabinet, as
it will prevent heat radiationof the

condenser.
Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce

the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.

Awning

Fence

CAUTION: All side louvers of the cabinet must remain exposed and unobstructed to the outside of the

structure.

4. Install the unit with a rear, downward slope, so the back isslightly lowerthan the front
(about 1/4"buble on a level). This will force condensation to flow tothe outside.

5. Install the unit with the bottom about 30"~60'' above thefloor level.

Window Requirements

NOTE: All supporting parts should be secured to firm wood, masonry, or metal.

•This unit is designed for installation instandard

double hung windows with actual opening widths

from 22" to 36".

•The top and bottom window sash must open

sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of 15"

from the bottom of the upper sash to the window

stool.

Troubleshooting Tips

Troubleshooting Tips save time and money! Reviewthe chart below first and you may not need to call for
service.

Normal Operation

• Youmay hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown against thecondenser
on rainy days or whenthe humidity is high. Thisdesign feature helps remove moistureand improve
efficiency.

• You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor cycles on and off.

• Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity or on rainy days. The water may overflow and

drip from the outdoor side of the unit.

• The fan may run even when the compressor does not.

• Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when the outside temperature is above

60°F(16°C) and below 115°F(46°C).

Abnormal Operation
