Please refer to the section ‘Operation of
Current Device’ for details.
In the event that the power supply cord is
damaged, it cannot be repaired it must be
replaced with a cord from the Product
Manufacturer.

WARNINGWARNING

Avoid fire hazard or
electric shock. Do not use an extension
cord or an adaptor plug. Do not remove
any prong from the power cord.

WARNINGWARNING

For Your Safety
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for
flammability and other warnings.

!

WARNINGWARNING

Prevent Accidents
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when
using your air conditioner, follow basic precautions, including the
following:

Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have
chosen. This information can be found on the serial plate, which is
located on the side of the cabinet and behind the grille.

If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably
want to clean both sides of the glass first. If the window is a triple-track
type with a screen panel included, remove the screen completely
before installation.

Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed
according to the separate installation instructions provided with this
manual. Save this manual and the installation instructions for
possible future use in removing or reinstalling this unit.

When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp
metal fins on front and rear coils.

!

WARNINGWARNING

Electrical Information
The complete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner is stated
on the serial plate. Refer to the rating when checking the electrical
requirements.

Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock
and fire hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is
equipped with a three-prong grounding plug and a current leakage
detection device for protection against shock & firehazards.

Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall
receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately
grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a
qualified electrician install the proper receptacle.

Do not run air conditioner with outside protective cover in place. This
could result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.

Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

Do not block inside air flow with blinds, curtains or furniture; or
outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.

The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for
efficient and satisfactory operation.

Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A
window that faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.

Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does
not escape up the chimney and into the duct work.

Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest
part of the day.

Clean the air filter as recommended in the section “Care and Cleaning”

Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep
warm air out and cool air in.

External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce
the air conditioner work load.

Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers
and dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.

ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Now that you have mastered the operating procedure, here are more features in your control that you should become
familiar with.

The “ Cool” circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents

overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. The fan will continue to run during this time.

The control will maintain the set temperature within 2 F, between 60 F and 90 F degrees.
The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius. To convert from one to the

other and back, press and hold the “ TEMP/TIMER” Up ( ) and Down ( ) buttons together for 3 seconds.

Fresh Air Vent Control

Fresh Air Vent Control
The Fresh Air Vent allows the air conditioner to:

1.Recirculate inside air - Vent Closed (See Fig.1)

2.Draw fresh air into the room - Vent Open(See Fig.2)

3.Exchange air from the room and draws fresh air into the room - Vent
and Exhaust Open (See Fig.3)

Air Filter

Care and Cleaning

Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be
sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire
hazards:

Air Filter Cleaning

The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if
cleaning is necessary.
Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation
of frost on the cooling coils.

Open the front panel.
Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.

Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm
water. Rinse filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the
filter. Be sure filter is thoroughly dry before replacing.

Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the filter clean.

Cabinet Cleaning

Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire
hazard. The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth
or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and
mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

Never use harsh cleaner, wax or polish on the cabinet front.

Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping
around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may
cause damage to the air conditioner.

Plug in air conditioner.

Winter Storage

If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove
it carefully from the window according to the installation
instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it to the original carton.

NOTE: To prevent rust or electrical connections from being
damaged, store air conditioner in an upright position and in a
dry place.
