Recommended Ground Method

For your personal safety, this air conditioner must be
grounded. This air conditioner is equipped with a 3 prong
power supply cord and a grounded plug. To minimize the
possibility of electrical shock, the cord must be plugged
into a 3 prong outlet and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances. If a 3 prong outlet is not
available, it is the customers responsibility to have a
proper 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Model 292853 8,000 BTU, Cool Only, Energy Star 115V
Model 292854 12,000 BTU, Cool Only, Energy Star 115V

It is the customers responsibility:

• To contact a qualified electrician.

• To assure that the electrical installation is adequate
and in conformance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition, and all local codes
and ordinances.

LCDI Power Cord and Plug

This air conditioner is equipped with an LCD (Leakage
Current Detection and Interruption) power cord that is
required by UL. This power supply cord contains state­of-the-art electronics that sense current leakage. If the
cord is damaged and leakage occurs, power will be
disconnected from the unit.

The test and reset buttons on the LCDI plug are used to
check if the plug is functioning properly. To test the plug:

1. Plug power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2. Press RESET (on some units a green light will turn on).

3. Press the TEST button, the circuit should trip and cut

all power to the air conditioner (on some units a green
light will turn off).

4. Press the RESET button for use. You will hear a click

and the A/C is ready for use.

HOW TO INSTALL

CAUTION

When handling the unit, be careful to avoid cuts from the
sharp metal edges and aluminum fins on the front and
rear coils.

Tools Needed: Phillips Screw Driver, Drill (If pilot holes are
needed. (Tools not included).

Top Rail and Sliding Panels at each side are offset to provide
the proper pitch of 5/16" to the rear of the air conditioner.

1. Place unit on floor, a bench or a table. There is a Left
and Right Window Filler Panel - be sure to use the
proper panel for each side. When installed, the flange
for securing the panel in place to the window sill will
be facing into the room.

A. Hold the Accordion Panel

in one hand and gently
pull back the center to
free the open end. (Fig 2)

B. Slide the free end of the

panel into the cabinet.
Slide the panel down.
Be sure to leave enough
space to slip the top and
bottom of the frame into
the rails on the cabinet.

C. Once the panel has been

installed on the side of the cabinet, make sure it sits
securely inside the frame channel by making slight
adjustments. Slide the top and bottom ends of the
frame into the top and bottom rails of the cabinet.

D. Slide the panel all the way in and repeat on the

other side.

2. Keeping a firm grip on the air conditioner, carefully
place the unit into the window opening so the bottom
of the air conditioner frame is against the window
sill. Carefully close the window behind the top rail of
the unit. (it is suggested to keep a downward angle
so accumulated rain water can drain out from the
backside of the unit).

3. Extend the side panels out against the window frame.

4. Place the frame lock between the frame extensions
and the window sill. Drive 3/4" (19mm) locking screws
through the frame lock an into the sill. Note: To
prevent window sill from splitting, drill 1/8" (3mm) pilot
holes before driving screws.

5. Drive 1/2" (12.7mm) locking screws through frame
holes into window sash.

6. To secure lower sash in place, attach right angle sash
lock with 3/4" (19mm) screw.

7. Cut foam seal and insert in the space between the
upper and lower sashes.

If AC is Blocked by Storm Window

Add wood as shown in Fig. 3, or remove storm window
before air conditioner is installed.

If storm window frame must remain, be sure the drain holes
or slots are not caulked or painted shut. Accumulated
rain water or condensation must be allowed to drain out.

Removing AC From Window

• Turn AC off and disconnect power cord.

• Remove sash seal from between windows and unscrew
safety lock.

• Remove screws installed through frame and frame lock.

• Close (slide) side panels into frame.

• Keeping a firm grip on air conditioner, raise sash and
carefully "rock" air conditioner backward to drain any
condensate water in base of unit. Be careful not to spill
any remaining water while lifting unit from window. Store
parts WITH air conditioner.

AIR CONDITIONER USE

Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain
the best possible results. This section explains proper air
conditioner operation.

IMPORTANT:

•

If you turn off the air conditioner, wait at least 3 minutes
before turning it back on. This prevents the air conditioner
from blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker

• Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling
mode when outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C).
The inside evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air
conditioner will not operate properly.

Note: In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner
will operate at the previous settings when the power
is restored.

the cooling coils to accumulate frost. To clean the air filter.

1. Remove the filter by pulling down on the in dents of the
filter door on the front of the unit. (Fig 8)

2. Wash the filter using liquid dish soap and warm water.
Rinse the filter thoroughly. Gently shake the filter to
remove excess water.

conditioner.

4. If you do not wish to wash the filter, you may vacuum the
filter to remove the dust and other particles.

Inserting or Replacing the Batteries

• Remove the cover on the rear of the remote control

• Insert two AAA 1.5V batteries in the correct position
(see instructions inside the battery compartment).

Note:

• If the remote control unit is replaced or disposed
of, the batteries must be removed and discarded in
accordance with current legislation as they are harmful
to the environment.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix
alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable
(nickel-cadmium) batteries.

• Batteries may explode or leak if exposed to open
flames. Dispose of batteries accordingly.

• If the remote control is not being used for extended
periods of time (winter storage), remove the batteries
and store in a cool, dry location.

For mode functionality details see page 4

Fig. 6

Wear and Tear

To minimize wear and tear on the air condi tioner, wait at
least 3 minutes before changing modes. This will help
prevent the compressor from overheating and the circuit
breaker from tripping.

Cabinet Cleaning

To clean the air conditioner cabinet:

• Unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or a fire hazard.
The cabinet and front panel may be dusted with an oil free
cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of
warm water and mild liquid soap. Rinse thoroughly with a
damp cloth and wipe dry.

• Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.

• Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before
wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the
controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.

Note:

To store the air conditioner when not in use for an extended
period of time, remove it care fully from the window
according to the installation instructions and cover it with
plastic or place it in the original box.
