Control Panel Operation Instructions

SYSTEM - The MODE button allows you to sequentially select up to four modes of operation:

AUTO Available on select models COOL HEAT Available on select models

FAN ONLY

AUTO FAN (No Cooling Demand)

When in AUTO mode, the fan only operates when the system has a demand to cool or heat the room.

In the ON fan mode, the fan operates all the time. The system periodically

cools or heats the fan’s airow but the ow of air does not stop.

UP and DOWN Arrows - Pressing either an UP or DOWN button changes the system’s setpoint (desired room temperature). These buttons are also used to make system parameter changes later in this manual.

One press equals 1 degree of change in Fahrenheit mode. One press equals 0.5 degree change in Celsius mode.

TIMER

The timer can be engaged or disengaged from the control panel. This is done by pressing or holding the UP and DOWN arrows simultaneously for three seconds.

Alerts

When the lter needs to be cleaned or replaced, the CHECK FILTER icon displays.

The alert can be dismissed by pressing the FAN MODE and TIME for 3 seconds.

Lock Control Panel

°F – °C Select

To switch from degrees Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (C), press the MENU button and enter the F-C sub-menu.

FAN SPEED - Depending on your model, the FAN SPEED button allows you to toggle between three or four modes of operation: LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH and MAX.

24 25

Remote Control Operation

Remote Control - Refer to Figure 52 during operation description. Getting Started - Install two (2) AAA batteries in the battery compartment

located on the back of the unit. Operation - The remote control should be within 25 feet of the air conditioner

for operation (refer to Figure 52 for effectiveness). Press the power button to turn the remote on. The remote will automatically power off after 15 seconds if the buttons are not being pressed. The remote must be on to control the unit.

POWER Button - Turns remote and unit on and off. SYSTEM Button - Allows the user to sequentially select the following:

AUTO, COOL, HEAT, and FAN ONLY operations. When the button is

pressed, the display indicates which mode has been selected via a display message. Note that when the heating function is not available, the system will automatically skip the HEAT mode.

FAN MODE Button - Selects between automatic (AUTO FAN) or CONTINUOUS operation. In the AUTO FAN mode, the fan only turns on

and off when the compressor operates or the heat function is enabled. NOTE: AUTO FAN is not available in the FAN ONLY Mode, the display

indicates CONTINUOUS. In the CONTINUOUS mode, fan speed is determined by your selection on the FAN SPEED button.

FAN SPEED Button - Used to sequentially select new fan speed, plus AUTO operation. When the FAN SPEED button is pressed, the fan speed icon (triangle) changes to indicate the new speed level. Fan speed automatically varies depending on the set temperature on the

control panel and the actual room temperature. For example, if there

is a big difference between your set temperature and the actual room temperature, the system fan speed increases to HIGH. It remains at this speed until the room temperature matches the set temperature.

UP and DOWN Arrows - Pressing either the UP or DOWN button changes the desired room temperature. The factory preset lower and upper limits are 60 °F (16 °C) and 99 °F (37 °C). These buttons are also used to navigate between function options when using the User Menu or Maintenance Mode.

Remote Effectiveness

Handheld Remote - Has an operating range of up to 25 ft. The infrared remote control signal must have a clear path to transmit the command to the air conditioning unit. The remote signal has some ability to “bounce” off of walls and furniture similar to a television remote control. The diagram below shows the typical operating range of the control in a standard room with 8 ft high ceilings.

Airflow Selection and Adjustment

Airflow direction adjustment

The airow path may be adjusted to distribute air independently from the

left or right side of the discharge opening. Each of the banks of louvers can be directed left, right, up, or down in order to achieve the most optimum

airow positioning.

To adjust airow direction, grab the lever in the center of the louver bank

and move it in the direction that you would like the air to be directed. Please

note that it is normal that airow may be stronger out of one side of the

louvers than the other.

Figure 53

Fresh air and exhaust control

Your air conditioner has the ability to bring fresh air into the room or exhaust

stale air out of the room. The control slide is found on the upper part of the unit (see Figure 53).

TO BRING IN FRESH AIR – Move the lever to the Fresh Air position which allows outside air to enter the room. This is useful in fall and spring

as a means of bringing in fresh outside air when using FAN ONLY. It can

also be used in the summer with the compressor in the Cooling Mode if you wish.

TO EXHAUST INDOOR AIR – Move the lever to the Exhaust position.

This will allow stale air to be expelled to the outside of the dwelling. This

is especially handy in the spring or fall when indoor air tends to get stale, or after a social gathering involving smokers, or to remove cooking odors.

BEST PERFORMANCE – Move the lever to the Re-Circulate Position.

This is the most efcient mode for cooling and heating.

Installation Instructions

READ THIS FIRST! Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Make sure your electrical receptacle has the

same conguration as your air conditioner’s

plug. If different, consult a Licensed Electrician.

Do not use plug adapters.

Do not use an extension cord.

Do not remove ground prong.

Always plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Failure to follow these instructions can result

in death, re, or electrical shock.

IMPORTANT: Before you begin the actual installation of your air conditioner, check your local electrical codes and the information below.

Your air conditioner must be connected to a power source with the same

alternating current (A.C.) voltage and amperage as marked on the name plate located on the chassis. Only A.C. can be used. Direct Current (D.C.) cannot be used.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION – Use on single outlet circuit only. An overloaded circuit will invariably cause malfunction or failure of an air conditioner; therefore, it is necessary that the electrical protection is adequate. Due to momentary high current demand when the air conditioner starts, use a

“TIME DELAY” fuse or a HACR type circuit breaker. Consult your dealer or

power company if in doubt.

Refer to the electrical name plate located on the air conditioner chassis (see Page 2) to determine the correct fuse or circuit breaker amperage for your model (see Table 1 on Page 6 for electrical receptacle types).

The power cord has a plug with a grounding prong and a matching receptacle is required.

The following instructions are for standard chassis model groups

distinguished by the rst three letters of the model designations cabinet

sizes listed in Table 2.

good condition and functioning.

STEP 6. CABINET MOUNTING – Raise the lower window 1/4″ more than

the height of the cabinet. Carefully slide the cabinet through the opening until the lower sill plate channel rests behind the window sill and the top angle rests against the window (see Figure 58). Center the cabinet within the opening. Drill three (3)

/32″ diameter pilot holes into window sill using the holes in the

cabinet sill plate as a guide. Install three (3) #12 x 2″ long screws

(Item 4) (see Figure 58).

Adjust the support brackets to provide an inside-to-outside slope for

excess condensation drainage (refer to Standard Window Installation,

Figures 59 through 61). Tighten all screws.

Alternate support method A: If you have a deep window sill which prevents you from mounting the brackets as shown in Figure 61, try the following: Using the elongated holes and different hole locations in the cabinet, set the placement of the bracket to support the unit’s weight (Figure 62). Tighten all screws.

Alternate support method B: If the window ledge gap is narrow, try the

following. Bend the bracket end tab at. Cut the bracket in two (2) places

as shown in Figure 63. Bend the short piece so it will be vertical when installed. Adjust the placement as required. Tighten all screws.

between the window side channels and cabinet (Figure 64). Make sure you include the depth of the window channel.

STEP 7. OUTSIDE SUPPORT MOUNTING – Refer to Figures 57

and 58. Assemble the support brackets (Item 1) to the

bottom of the cabinet with four (4) 10-24 1″ long screws

(Item 2) and four 10-24 flat nuts (Item 3). Adjust the support brackets, using a combination of the elongated holes of the bracket and different hole locations in the cabinet, to bring the bottom support bracket pads in contact with the wall. A

1″ x 4″ or 2″ x 4″ SPACER SHOULD BE USED BETWEEN THE

WALL AND SUPPORT THE BRACKETS WHEN INSTALLED

ON ALUMINUM OR VINYL SIDING. Drill 5/32″ diameter pilot

holes and secure the brackets to the wall with two (2) 12A

x 2″ long screws (Item 4).
