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.

This section explains how to operate this air conditioner.

IMPORTANT:

When you turn off the air conditioner, either at the control panel or with the remote control, wait at least 3 minutes before turning it back on. This prevents the compressor from overloading. This 3 minute delay also applies when switching from cool mode to fan and back.

NOTE: There is a built in 3 minute delay. You may notice the compressor might not start right away. This was designated to protect the unit.

Do not operate your air conditioner in the Cool Mode when the outside temperature is below 61° F (16° C). This inside evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not operate properly.

NOTE: When the air conditioner is first plugged in, the LED display will show “88” for 3 seconds. After the air conditioner is turned on for the first time, the display will show the temperature 72° F and the fan will automatically set the Quiet speed and the Mode indicator will show ENERGY SAVE.

NOTE: To switch the temperature display between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C), the air conditioner must be plugged in and turned on. On the control panel on the

Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean air filter helps remove dust, lint and particles from the air for optimal cooling operating efficiency. The Filter Reset light will turn on to notify you that the air filter must be cleaned. The light goes on after the air conditioner has been operating for 240 hours.

a dishwasher or clothes washer, or use any chemical cleaners. Do not use a cloth dryer or microwave oven to dry it. Air dry the air filter completely before placing it back in the unit.

1.Turn off the air conditioner and unplug the power supply cord from the outlet.

2.Remove the air filter by opening the front panel and removing the air filter. Some models may have a filter that slides out instead and does not require opening of the front panel.

4.Place the air filter back in the air conditioner.

5.Close the front panel.

6.Plug the power supply cord into the outlet, turn on the air conditioner and press the filter reset button to turn off the indicator light.
