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 selector control 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 115V
This is a temporary method.
UL-listed adapters are available at most hardware stores.
The use of an extension cord is not
recommended. However, 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.
CAUTION:
DO NOT use an extension cord with
any of the 208/230-volt models.
Extension Cord 115V

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. When you turn the knob to
COOLER
(blue) the indoor air will become cooler. Turn
the knob to
WARMER
(red) and the indoor air
will become warmer.
HEAT PUMP MODELS
When the outdoor temperature is lower than
25
°F., heat is provided by the electric heater in
the air conditioner instead of by the heat pump.
HIGH COOL
and
LOW COOL
provide cooling with
different fan speeds.
HIGH HEAT
and
LOW HEAT
provide heating with
different fan speeds.
LOW FAN orHIGH FAN
provides air circulation
and filtering without cooling or heating.
NOTE:
If you move the switch from a cool or heat setting
to OFF or to a fan setting, wait at least 3 minutes
before switching back to a cool or heat setting.
A 3-minute delay is automatically provided on the
Heat/Cool and Heat Pump models.

Limiting the maximum and minimum settings
prevents users from turning the control to the
extreme heat or cool positions.
The normal range of the temp control is approx-
imately 60° F to 85° F. The control range may be
narrowed by the use of the temperature limiting
screws located behind the control panel.
Horizontal louvers on the front grille let you
control the air direction up and down.
Remove the front grille to adjust the vertical
louvers side-to-side to direct the air left or right.
