IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
The information contained in this manual is intended for use by a qualified service technician who is familiar with the safety procedures required for installation and repair, and who is equipped with the proper tools and test instruments required to service this product.
Installation or repairs made by unqualified persons can result in subjecting the unqualified person making such repairs as well as the persons being served by the equipment to hazards resulting in injury or electrical shock which can be serious or even fatal.
Safety warnings have been placed throughout this manual to alert you to potential hazards that may be encountered. If you install or perform service on equipment, it is your responsibility to read and obey these warnings to guard against any bodily injury or property damage which may result to you or others.
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is a safety Alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
You can receive minor or moderate injury if you do not follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what will happen if the instructions are not followed.
A message to alert you of potential property damage will have the NOTICE word “NOTICE”. Potential property damage can occur if instructions
are not followed.
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH HAZARDS
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS:
•Unplug and/or disconnect all electrical power to the unit before performing inspections, maintenance, or service.
•Make sure to follow proper lockout/tag out procedures.
•Always work in the company of a qualified assistant if possible.
•Capacitors, even when disconnected from the electrical power source, retain an electrical charge potential capable of causing electric shock or electrocution.
•Handle, discharge, and test capacitors according to safe, established, standards, and approved procedures.
•Extreme care, proper judgment, and safety procedures must be exercised if it becomes necessary to test or troubleshoot equipment with the power on to the unit.
2
•Do not spray or pour water on the return air grille, discharge air grille, evaporator coil, control panel, and sleeve on the room side of the air conditioning unit while cleaning.
•Electrical component malfunction caused by water could result in electric shock or other electrically unsafe conditions when the power is restored and the unit is turned on, even after the exterior is dry.
•Never operate the A/C unit with wet hands.
•Use air conditioner on a single dedicated circuit within the specified amperage rating.
•Use on a properly grounded outlet only.
•Do not remove ground prong of plug.
•Do not cut or modify the power supply cord.
•Do not use extension cords with the unit.
•Follow all safety precautions and use proper and adequate protective safety aids such as: gloves, goggles, clothing, adequately insulated tools, and testing equipment etc.
•Failure to follow proper safety procedures and/or these warnings can result in serious injury or death.
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM HAZARDS:
•Use approved standard refrigerant recovering procedures and equipment to relieve pressure before opening system for repair.
•Do not allow liquid refrigerant to contact skin. Direct contact with liquid refrigerant can result in minor to moderate injury.
•Be extremely careful when using an oxy-acetylene torch. Direct contact with the torch’s flame or hot surfaces can cause serious burns.
•Make sure to protect personal and surrounding property with fire proof materials.
•Have a fire extinguisher at hand while using a torch.
•Provide adequate ventilation to vent off toxic fumes, and work with a qualified assistant whenever possible.
•Always use a pressure regulator when using dry nitrogen to test the sealed refrigeration system for leaks, flushing etc.

electrical DATA
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Turn off electric power before service or installation.
All electrical connections and wiring MUST be installedbyaqualifiedelectricianandconformto the National Electrical Code and all local codes which have jurisdiction.
Failure to do so can result in personal injury or death.
NOTICE
FIRE HAZARD
Not following the above WARNING could result in fire or electically unsafe conditions which could cause moderate or serious property damage.
Read, understand and follow the above warning.
electrical REQUIREMENTS
ALL FIELD WIRING MUST MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE (ANSI/NFPA 70)
ARTICLE 501.
THE FIELD-PROVIDED CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICE (HACR CIRCUIT BREAKER OR TIME DELAY FUSE)
MUST NOT EXCEED THE AMPACITY INDICATED ON THE PRODUCT NAMEPLATE.
IMPORTANT: Before you begin the actual installation of your air conditioner, check local electrical codes and the information below.
Your air conditioner must be connected to a power supply with the same A.C. voltage and frequency (hertz) as marked on the data plate located on the chassis. Only alternating current (A.C.), no direct current (D.C.), can be used.
An overloaded circuit will invariably cause malfunction or failure of the air conditioner therefore, it is extremely important that the electrical power is adequate. Consult your power company if in doubt.

Control Panel
Function Control (Power)
This switch is a double pole, single throw toggle switch.
ON - Turns everything on.
OFF - Turns everything off.
Temperature Control
The knob at the bottom is the thermostat which is a cross ambient type used to maintain the desired comfort level. The thermostat reacts only to a change in temperature at the bulb location - turn the knob clockwise to set cooler, counterclockwise for warmer.
Exclusive
