SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

iiiil}i

Use this appliance only fi)r its intended
purpose as described in this Owner's

Manual.

iii}i}}li_

This air conditioner must be properly
installed in accordance with the Installation

Instructions befbre it is used.

iii}i}}li_

Never unplug your air conditioner by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly
and pull straight out flora the receptacle.

iii}i}}li_

Replace immediately all electric service
cords that have become flayed or othendse
damaged. A damaged power supply cord
must be replaced _dth a new power supply

cord obtained from the mamtfhcturer and
not repaired. Do not use a cord that shows

cracks or abrasion damage along its len_h
or at either the plug or connector end.

}} ff the receptacle does not match tim plug,

the receptacle must be changed out by a
qualified electrician.

}}Turn the unit OFFand unplug your air

conditioner before making any repairs
or cleaning.

NOTE: Westronglyrecommendthatanyservicing
be performedby a qualified bdividual.

::_For your s_ety...do not store or use

combustible materials, gasoline or other

flammable vapors or liquids in the x,icinity

of this or any other appliance.

::_All air conditioners contain refiigerants,

which under federal law must be removed

prior to product disposal, ffyou are getting
rid of an old product with refiigerants,
check _dth the company handling disposal

about what to do.

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove

the third (ground) prong from the power cord, For
personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded,

BO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
_dth a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.

Power cord includes a current interrupmr
dex,ice. A rest and reset button is prox,ided on
the plug case. The dex,ice should be tested on a
periodic basis by first pressing the rESrbutmn
and then the RESETbutton while plugged into
the outlet, ff the rESTbutton does not trip
or if the RESErbutmn _dll not stay engaged,

discontinue use of the air conditioner and
contact a qualified ser_,ice technician.

Hmre the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encounmred,

it is your personal responsibility and obligation
m have it replaced _dth a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.

The air conditioner should always be
plugged into its own in(fix_idualelectrical
outlet which has a voltage rating that matches
the rating plate.

This prox_ides the best perfbrmance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits

which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.

See the Installation Instructions, Electrical

Requirements section for specific electrical

connection requirements.

The case may be installed through-the-wall
in both existing and new construction.

Read completely, then follow step-by-step.

NOTE: Except for the V-support
assemblies (included}, obtain all materials

locally for mounting the air conditioner
through-the-wail.

IMPORTANT

Through-the-wall installation is not

appropriate if any of the side or top louvers
in the case will be obstructed by the wail.

All side and top louvers in the case must
project on the outdoor side of the wall.

The room side of the case must project
into the room far enough to maximize the

balance of the unit.
The case must be installed level from side-

to-side and with a slight tilt from front to
rear. Use a level; no more than a 1/2 bubble
will be the correct case slant to the outside.

[] FINISH THE WALL OPENING

F-A-] Caulk all four sides on the outdoor side of

the case to prevent moisture from getting
through to the interior wall. Use of flashing
(drip rail) will further prevent water from
dripping inside the wall and down the
outside of the building.

Lintel angle is required to support bricks or
blocks above opening.

Flashing is required and should extend the
length of the opening to ensure no inside

cavity leakage occurs.
