IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

WARNING For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.

Ŷ 8VH WKLV DSSOLDQFH RQO\ IRU LWV LQWHQGHG SXUSRVH DV described in this Owner’s Manual.

Ŷ This air conditioner must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

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

Ŷ Replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord obtained from the manufacturer and not repaired. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

Ŷ Turn the unit OFF and unplug your air conditioner before cleaning.

Ŷ *( $SSOLDQFHV GRHV QRW VXSSRUW DQ\ VHUYLFLQJ RI WKH air conditioner. We strongly recommend that you do not attempt to service the air conditioner yourself.

Ŷ For your safety…do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Ŷ All air conditioners contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old product with refrigerants, check with the company handling disposal about what to do.

Ŷ If the receptacle does not match the plug, the receptacle must be changed out by a qualified electrician.

Ŷ These R410A air conditioning systems require contractors and technicians to use tools, equipment and safety standards approved for use with this refrigerant. DO NOT use equipment certified for R22 refrigerant only.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

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.

DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.

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

Power cord includes a current interrupter device. A test and reset button is provided on the plug case. The device should be tested on a periodic basis by first pressing the TEST button and then the RESET button while plugged into the outlet. If the TEST button does not trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician.

Have 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 encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

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

This provides the best performance 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.

An electronic thermostat is used to maintain the room temperature. The compressor will cycle on and off to keep the room at the set level of comfort. Set the thermostat at a lower number and the indoor air will

become cooler. Set the thermostat at a higher number and the indoor air will become warmer.

Cooling Descriptions

For Normal Cooling—Select the Cool mode and

For Maximum Cooling—Select the Cool mode and High fan with a lower set temperature.

For Quieter and Nighttime Cooling—Select the

Cool mode and Low fan with a middle set temperature.

Energy Saver Mode

This mode optimizes the cooling power of your air conditioner, thereby saving you energy. Once the set point temperature has been reached, the fan will cycle off to save energy. The fan will cycle back on periodically to insure all cooling capacity in the system is used. This mode is the default mode for the unit. Each time the unit is powered off, it will restart in Energy Saver mode ON. This includes Delay timer mode. The first time the unit is turned on, the settings will be 70° and Low fan. You can adjust the fan speed and temperature to your personal comfort.

ON—The fan will cycle on and off with the compressor. This may result in wider variations of room temperature and humidity. NOTE: the fan may continue to run

for a short time or may pulse intermittently after the compressor cycles off to sample the room air.

OFF—The fan runs all the time, while the compressor cycles on and off.

Installation Instructions

1.WINDOW REQUIREMENTS

These instructions are for a standard double-hung window. You will need to modify them for other types of windows.

The air conditioner can be installed without the accordion panels if needed to fit in a narrow window. See the window opening dimensions.

All supporting parts must be secured to firm wood, masonry or metal.

The electrical outlet must be within reach of the power cord.

Follow the dimensions in the table and illustration for your model.

(With accordion panels)

2. STORM WINDOW REQUIREMENTS

A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to tilt toward the outside, and will keep it from draining properly.

To adjust for this, attach a piece of wood to the sill.
