IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
■Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
■This air conditioner must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
■Never unplug your air conditioner by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
■Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.
■Turn the mode control to OFF and unplug your air conditioner before making any repairs or cleaning.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
■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.
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.
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.
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.

WARNING!
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS –115-Volt models only
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 14 gauge, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.
CAUTION:
DO NOT use an extension cord with any of the 230/208 volt models.
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS –115-Volt models only
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.
However, if you must use an adapter, where local codes permit, a temporary connection may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one hand while pulling the power cord plug with the other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT USE the air conditioner until a proper ground has been established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Shows the set temperature or time remaining on timer.
MODE
Use to set the air conditioner to COOL or FAN mode.
Increase ▲ /Decrease ▼ Pads
Use to set temperature when in COOL mode.
FAN Pad
Use to set the fan speed to LOW (F1), MED (F2) or HIGH (F3).
TIMER Pad
ON–When the air conditioner is off, it can be set to automatically come on in 1 to 12 hours at its previous setting. Each touch will set the timer in hours.
OFF–When the air conditioner is on, it can be set to automatically turn off in 1 to 12 hours. Each touch will set the timer in hours. After the timer has been on for 30 minutes, the temperature will automatically rise 2°F, and after another 30 minutes, it will automatically rise 2°F again. The temperature will then stay the same until the timer goes OFF.
To cancel the timer, press the TIMER pad until the display time disappears.

COOL Mode
Use the COOL mode with HIGH (F3), MED (F2) or
LOW (F1) fan for cooling. Use the INCREASE ▲ / DECREASE ▼ pads to set the desired temperature between 60°F and 86°F in 1°F increments.
A 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.
NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on while set to COOL, it will take approximately 3 minutes for the compressor to start and cooling to begin.
Cooling Descriptions
For Normal Cooling–Select the COOL mode and
HIGH (F3) or MED (F2) fan with a middle set temperature.
For Maximum Cooling–Select the COOL mode and HIGH (F3) fan with a lower set temperature.
For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling–Select the
COOL mode and LOW (F1) fan with a middle set temperature.
NOTE: If you switch from a COOL setting to OFF or to a fan setting, wait at least 3 minutes before switching back to a COOL setting.
FAN Mode
Use the FAN at HIGH (F3), MED (F2) or LOW (F1) to provide air circulation and filtering without cooling. Since fan only settings do not provide cooling,
a temperature setting will not be displayed.
Additional controls and important information.
Air Direction
Fingertip pressure on the louvers lets you control the air direction left, right, straight ahead or any combination of these directions.
