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 theair conditioneris to be installed in a window, you will probably
want to clean both sides of the glass first. If the window is atriple-track
type with a screen panel included, remove the screen completely
before installation.
• Be sure the airconditioner has been securelyand correctly installed
according to the separate installation instructions provided with this
manual. Save this manual and the installation instructions for

requirements.
• Be sure the air conditioneris properly grounded. To minimize shock
and fire hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is
equipped with athree-prong grounding plug and acurrentleakage
detection device forprotection against shock& firehazards.
• Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall
receptacle. If thewall receptacleyouintendtouseisnotadequately
grounded or protected by a time delay fuseor circuit breaker, havea

Energy Saving Ideas
EN

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 sideofyour home. A
window thatfaces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.
• Close the fireplace damper, floorandwallregisters so coolair does
not escape upthe chimney andinto the ductwork.
• Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed duringthe sunniest
part of the day.
• Clean the air filteras recommended in the section "Care and Cleaning"
• Proper insulation and weatherstrippingin your home will help keep
warm airout and cool airin.
• External house shadingwith trees, plantsor awnings will help reduce
the airconditioner work load.
• Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers
and dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.
