This air conditioner is designed with a button-down chassis so it can be easily installed in a window.
Select the Best Location
1. To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the unit is
installed securely and firmly.
2. Install the unit where the sun does not shine directly on
the unit.
3. The outside of the cabinet must extend outward for at
least 10" and there should be no obstacles, such as a
fence or wall, within 20" from the back of the cabinet
because it will prevent heat radiation of the condenser.
Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce the cooling
efficiency of the air conditioner.
CAUTION: All side louvers of the cabinet
must remain exposed on the outdside of
the structure.
4. Install the unit slanted slightly so the back is slightly
lower than the front (about 1/4"). This will force condensed water to the outside.
5. Install the unit with the bottom about 30"~60" above the
floor level.
Figure 1
How to Install
Window Requirements
1. This unit is designed for installation in standard double
hung windows with actual opening widths of 22" to 36".
The upper and lower sash must open sufficiently to allow
a clear vertical opening of 13" from the bottom of the
sash to the window stool.
2. If storm window presents interference, fasten a 2" wide
wood strip to the inner window sill across the full width of
the sill. The wood strip should be thick enough to raise
the height of the window sill so that the unit can be
installed without interference by the storm window frame.
See Figure. 3. Top of wood strip should be approximately
3/4" higher than the storm window frame (STORM WINDOW FRAME) or wood strip (OUTDOORS) to help condensation to drain properly to the outside.
3. Install a second wood strip (approximately 6" long by
11/2" wide and same thickness as first strip) in the center
of the outer sill flush against the back off the inner sill.
This will raise the L bracket as shown Figure. 3.
4. If the distance between STORM WINDOW FRAME and
WOOD STRIP MOUNTED ON TOP OF INNER SILL is
more than 1", two of wood strip are not necessary.
All supporting parts should be secured to firm
wood, masonry, or metal.

IMPORTANT :
When the air conditioner drops into the L bracket, the air
conditioner will be centered in window opening as shown in
Figure. 8.
b. While steadying the air conditioner, carefully bring the
window sash down behind the upper guide of the air conditioner, as shown in Figure. 9.
4. Secure the Guide Panels
Extend the guide panels (TYPE F) to fill the window
opening using 4 screws (TYPE B) to secure them, as
shown in Figure. 10.
5. Install the Sash Seal and Sash lock
a. Cut the sash seal (TYPE E) to the window width. Stuff
the sash seal between the glass and the window to
prevent air and insects from getting into the room, as
shown in Figure. 10.
b. Fasten the L bracket using a (TYPE A) screw, as
shown in Figure. 10.

6. a. Remove the screws that secure the cabinet and
base pan in the right side.
b. Fasten the suport bracket (TYPE G) using a
removed screw. Attach the suport bracket (TYPE
G) in the inner window sill with a screw (TYPE B),
as shown Figure. 11.
7. Window installation of room air conditioner is now
completed. See ELECTRICAL DATA for attaching
power cord to electrical outlet.
How to Secure the Drain pipe
In humid weather, excess water may cause the BASE PAN
to overflow. To drain the water, remove the DRAIN CAP
and secure the DRAIN PIPE to the rear hole of the BASE
PAN. (Figure. 12)
Press the drain pipe into the hole by pushing down and
away from the fins to avoid injury.

Insulation Resistance Test
INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST
1. Unplug the power cord and connect a jumper between 2 pins (black and white).
Operation
2. The grounding conductor (green or green and yellow) is to be open.
3. Measure the resistance value with an ohm meter between the jumpered lead and each exposed metallic part
on the equipment at all positions [except Off] of the ROTARY SWITCH.
4. The value should be over 1 MΩ.

2. Discharge the refrigerant by using a refrigerant
recovery system.
3. Remove the air guide upper.
(Refer to Section 4)
4. After discharging the refrigerant completely,
unbraze the interconnecting tube at the evaporator connections.
5. Remove the evaporator.
6. Re-install by referring to the procedures above.
16. CAPILLARY TUBE
1. Remove the cabinet. (Refer to Section 2)
2. Discharge the refrigerant by using a refrigerant
recovery system.
3. Remove the air guide upper.
(Refer to Section 4)
4. After discharging the refrigerant completely,
unbraze the interconnecting tube of the capillary tube.
5. Remove the capillary tube.
6. Re-install by referring to the procedures above.
Replacement of the refrigeration cycle.
1. When replacing the refrigerating cycle, be sure to
discharge the refrigerant by using a refrigerant
recovery system.
2. After discharging the unit completely, remove the
desired components, and unbraze the pinch-off
tubes.
3. Solder service valves into the pinch-off tube ports,
leaving the valves open.
4. Solder the pinch-off tubes with service valves.
5. After completing the above procedures, the valve
must be closed and left in place on the system for
any subsequent procedures.
6. Evacuate as follows:
6-1. Connect the vacuum pump, as illustrated in
figure 31A.
6-2. Start the vacuum pump. Slowly open manifold
valves A and B with two full turns counterclockwise and leave the valves closed.
The vacuum pump is now pulling through
valves A and B up to valve C by means of
manifold and the entire system.
CAUTION: If high vacuum equipment is used, just crack valves A
and B for a few minutes, then open
slowly with the two full turns
counter-clockwise. This will keep oil
from foaming and being drawn into
the vacuum pump.
6-3. Operate the vacuum pump for 20 to 30 minutes,
until 600 micron vacuum is obtained.
Close valves A and B and observe vacuum
gauge for a few minutes.
A rise in pressure would indicate a possible leak
or moisture remaining in the system.
With valves A and B closed, stop the vacuum
pump.
6-4. Remove the hose from the vacuum pump and
place it on the charging cylinder. See figure 20B.
Open valve C.
Discharge the line at the manifold connection.
6-5. The system is now ready for final charging.
7. Recharge as follows:
7-1. Rotary compressor systems are charged from
the high-side. If the total charge cannot be put
in the high-side, the balance will be put in the
suction line through the access valve which is
installed as the system is opened.
7-2. Connect the charging cylinder as shown in fig-
ure 31B. With valve C open, discharge the
hose at the manifold connection.
7-3. Open valve A and allow the proper charge to
enter the system. Valve B is still closed.
7-4. If more charge is required, the high-side will
not take it. Close valve A.
7-5. With the unit running, open valve B and add
the balance of the charge.
a. Do not add the liquid refrigerant to the low-
side.
b. Watch the low-side gauge, allow pressure to
rise to 30 lbs(0.2MP).
c. Turn off valve B and allow the pressure to
drop.
d. Repeat steps B and C until the balance of
the charge is in the system.
7-6. When the unit is operating correctly, use the
pinch-off tool with the unit still running and the
clamp on the pinch-off tube. Using a tube cutter, cut the pinch-off tube about 2 inches from
the pinch-off tool. Use sil-fos solder and solder
the pinch-off tube closed. Turn off the unit,
allow setting for a while and then test the leakage of the pinch-off connection.
Equipment needed: Vacuum pump, charging cylinder, manifold gauge, brazing equipment, pinch-off tool capable
of making a vapor proof seal, leak detector, tubing cutter, hand tools to remove components and service valve.
Following is a brief description of the important components and their function in what is called the refrigeration
system. Reference should be made to Figure 33 to follow the refrigerating cycle and the flow of the refrigerant in
the cooling cycle.
In general, possible trouble is classified in two kinds.
The one is called Starting Failure which is caused by an electrical defect. The other is Ineffective Air Conditioning
caused by a defect in the refrigeration circuit and improper application.
Unit is running but cooling is ineffective.
