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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

■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.

■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.

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

■Turn the unit 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.

■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.

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.

Do Not Operate in Freezing Outdoor Conditions

This cool-only air conditioner was not designed for freezing outdoor conditions. It must not be used in freezing outdoor conditions.

Cool Mode

Use the Cool mode at Low, Med, High or Auto Fan Speed for cooling. Use the Temperature Increase ▲ / Decrease ▼ pads to set the desired temperature between 64°F and 86°F in 1°F increments.

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.

NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on while set to a Cool setting or if turned from a fan setting to a Cool setting, it may take approximately 3 minutes for the compressor to start and cooling to begin.

Cooling Descriptions

For Normal Cooling—Select the Cool mode and

High or Med fan with a middle set temperature.

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

For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling—Select the

Cool mode and Low fan with a middle set temperature.

Energy Saver Mode

Controls the fan.

ON—The fan will cycle on and off with the compressor. This results in wider variations of room temperature and humidity. Normally used when the room is unoccupied. NOTE: The fan may continue to run for a short time after the compressor cycles off.

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

Fan Only Mode

Use the Fan Only Mode at Low, Med or High fan speed to provide air circulation and filtering without cooling. Since fan only settings do not provide cooling, a Set temperature cannot be entered. The room temperature will appear in the display.

NOTE: Auto Fan Speed cannot be used when in the

Fan Only Mode.

Auto Fan Speed

Set to Auto fan speed for the fan speed to automatically set to the speed needed to provide optimum comfort settings with the set temperature.

If the room needs more cooling, the fan speed will automatically increase. If the room needs less cooling, the fan speed will automatically decrease.

NOTE: Auto Fan Speed cannot be used when in the

Fan Only Mode.

Outdoor Coils

The coils on the outdoor side of the air conditioner should be checked regularly. If they are clogged with dirt or soot, they may be professionally cleaned.

Air Filter

The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if necessary.

To remove:

	1	Open the inlet grille upward by pulling out the
		bottom of the inlet grille.
		Using the tab, pull up slightly on the filter
	2
		to release it and pull it down.

Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and

let the filter dry before replacing it. Do not clean

the filter in a dishwasher. CAUTION:DO NOT operate the air conditioner without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.

Grille Frame Removal (if necessary for coil cleaning)

Remove the air filter. See the Air Filter section above.

If present, remove the grille frame attachment screw.

Grasp the lower corners of the grille frame while pressing in on the case side tabs with your finger tips. Pull out to release and lift it up.

NOTE: Do not pull the bottom edge toward you more than 3″ or you may damage the tabs of the grille.

Through-the-Wall Installation Instructions—Optional

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-wall.

1 IMPORTANT

Through-the-wall installation is not appropriate if any of the side or top louvers in the case will be obstructed by the wall.

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.

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.

ARemove the air conditioner from the case. For specific instruction, refer to the Window Installation Instructions.

BMake certain that a wall receptacle is available close to the hole location or make arrangements to install a receptacle.

CPlace the case in the wall opening and place wood support strips between the case bottom and the flashing on both sides of the bottom rail.They should be the same height as the bottom rail and the same length as the wall opening.

1 IMPORTANT (cont.)

DSecure with 14 wood screws anchored at least an inch into the wall support structure.

NOTE: Drill pilot holes, if necessary, for proper installation. If the frame is oversized, use shims to prevent case distortion.

EInstall the V-supports. See the INSTALL THE CASE IN THE WINDOW section in the Window Installation Instructions.

2 FINISH THE WALL OPENING

ACaulk 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.
