To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, orinjurytopersonswhen
using your air conditioner, follow basic precautions, including the

following:

• Be sure the electrical service is adequate forthemodelyouhave
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 awindow, 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 airconditioner 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 orreinstalling this unit.

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

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 theair conditioner isproperly grounded. To minimize shock
and fire hazards, propergrounding is important. The power cord is

equippedwithathree-prong grounding plug and a current leakage
detection device forprotection against shock& fire hazards.

• Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall
receptacle. If thewall receptacle you intend to useis not adequately
grounded or protected by a time delay fuseor circuit breaker, have a

qualified electrician install the proper receptacle.

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

• Do not usean extension cordor an adapterplug.

Energy Saving Ideas

EN

• Do not blockinside air flowwith blinds, curtainsor furniture; or

outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.

• The capacity of the room air conditioner mustfittheroomsizefor
efficient and satisfactory operation.

• Install the room air conditioner on theshadysideofyourhome. A
window that faces north is best because itis shaded most of the day.

Close thefireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool airdoes

not escape upthe chimney andinto the ductwork.

Keep blinds anddrapes in otherwindows closed duringthesunniest

part of the day.

Clean the air filter as recommended in the section "Care and

Cleaning"

Proper insulation and weatherstrippinginyourhomewillhelpkeep

warm airout and cool airin.

External house shadingwith trees, plants or awningswill help reduce

the airconditioner 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 anautomatic 3 minutetime delayed startifthe unitis turned offand onquickly. This prevents
overheating of thecompressor and possiblecircuit breaker tripping. The fan will continue torun during thistime.

• The control will maintain the settemperature within 2°F, between 60°Fand 90°Fdegrees.

EXHAUST CONTROL

This Exhaust Controlallows the airconditioner to either recirculate inside air(CLOSED) or exhaustair to the outside

(OPEN).
The CLOSED position is used when maximum cooling is desired. It mayalso be used for air recirculation without
cooling when theairconditionerissetinanyFAN position.
The OPEN position removes stale air from the room andexhausts it to the outside. Fresh air isdrawn in through

normal passages in the home.

4-WAYLOUVERS

The 4-Way air directional louvers allow you to direct airflow
up ordown, left or right throughout the room as needed.
