IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION
BEFORE USING
• This air conditioner must be
properly installed in accordance
with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
• Repair or replace immediately
all electric service cords that have
become frayed or otherwise
damaged.
• Turn the mode control knob to
OFF
and unplug your air conditioner
before making any repairs.
NOTE:
We strongly recommend
that any servicing be performed by
a qualified individual.
Because most 2-prong outlets are
not grounded, we strongly advise
against using an adapter plug.
However, a temporary connection
may be made where local codes
permit and if the 2-prong wall outlet is properly grounded.
When you plug the adapter in,
make sure the larger prong goes
into the larger slot to provide the
proper polarity for the power cord.
FOR PROPER GROUNDING:
1 Screw the adapter to the outlet,
using the outlet cover screw.
2 Ground the outlet through the house
wiring.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, hold the
adapter close to the outlet while
pulling the plug out. If this is not
done, the grounding connector is
likely to break with repeated use.
If the grounding connector breaks,
DO NOT USE
the air conditioner
until a proper ground has again
been made.
Adapter Plug
This is a temporary method.
UL-listed adapters are available at most hardware stores.
If an extension cord is required to
reach the nearest wall receptacle,
use only a UL-listed, 3-wire,
grounded, 14 gauge, 15A, 125V
appliance extension cord. For
models with nameplate ratings
greater than 12 amperes, do not
use an extension cord.
Extension Cord
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The energy saver switch controls the fan.
ENERGY SAVINGS
—the fan and compressor cycle
on and off together. This
results in wider variations of room temperature and humidity.
Normally used when the room is unoccupied.
NORMAL
—the fan runs all the time, while the
compressor cycles on and off. This switch must
be set at
NORMAL
in order to use the fan setting
(on the mode control).
HIGH COOL, MED COOL
and
LOW COOL
provide
cooling with different fan speeds.
FAN ONLY
provides air circulation and filtering
without cooling.
NOTE:
If you move the switch from a cool setting to
OFF or to a fan setting, wait at least 3 minutes
before switching back to a cool setting.
The temp control is used to maintain the
room temperature. The compressor will cycle
on and off to keep the room at the same level
of comfort. The higher the number selected,
the cooler the indoor air will become.
The blower runs as long as the mode control is
not on
OFF
.

Cooling Descriptions
FOR NORMAL COOLING
Select
MED COOL
with the
temp at 3 or 4.
FOR MAXIMUM COOLING
Select
HIGH COOL
with the
temp at 6 or 8.
FOR QUIETER & NIGHTIME COOLING

The vent control is a lever located on the
control panel.
When the vent control is set at normal, only
the air inside the room is circulated, cooled
and filtered.
When set at exhaust, some indoor air will be
exhausted from the room. This will reduce
the cooling effect.
Tabs inside the horizontal louvers let you
control the air direction left, right or
straight ahead.
