1.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. When servicing the unit, set the ROTARY SWITCH
or POWER SWITCH to OFF and unplug the power
cord.
2. Observe the original lead dress.
If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which
have been overheated or damaged by the short
circuit.
3. After servicing the unit, make an insulation resistance test to protect the customer from being
exposed to shock hazards.
• Slide-in and slide-out chassis for the simple
installation and service.
• Side air-intake, side cooled-air discharge.
• Washable one-touch filter
• Compact size
• Reliable and efficient rotary compressor is equipped.
1.5 CONTROL LOCATIONS
1.5.1 COOLING ONLY MODEL
• VENTILATION
The ventilation lever must be in the CLOSE position
in order to maintain the best cooling conditions.
When a fresh air is necessary in the room, set the
ventilation lever OPEN position.
The damper is opened and room air is exhausted.
1.5.2 COOLING ONLY MODEL WITH REMOTE CONTROL AND T OUCH TYPE
• To turn the air conditioner ON, push the button. To turn the air conditioner OFF,
push the button again.
• This button takes priority over any other buttons.
• When you first turn it on, the air conditioner is on the High cool mode and the
temp. at 72°F(22˚C).
TEMPERATURE SETTING
• This button can automatically control the temperature of the room.
The temperature can be set within a range of 60°F to 86°F by 1°F.

desired component, 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. Evacuate as follows.
1) Connect the vacuum pump, as illustrated figure
14A.
2) Start the vacuum pump, slowly open manifold
valves A and B with two full turns
counterclockwise and leave the valves open.
The vacuum pump is now pulling through valves
A and B up to valve C by means of the manifold
and 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 counterclockwise.
This will keep oil from foaming and being
drawn into the vacuum pump.
3) Operate the vacuum pump for 20 to 30 minutes,
until 600 microns of vaccum 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.
4) Remove the hose from the vacuum pump and
place it on the charging cylinder. See figure
14B.
Open valve C.
Discharge the line at the manifold connection.
5) The system is now ready for final charging.
TM
6. Recharge as follows :
1) Refrigeration cycle 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 you
installed as the system was opened.
2) Connect the charging cylinder as shown in figure
14B.
With valve C open, discharge the hose at the
manifold connection.
3) Open valve A and allow the proper charge to
enter the system. Valve B is still closed.
4) If more charge is required, the high-side will not
take it. Close valve A.
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.
c. Turn off valve B and allow pressure to drop.
d. Repeat steps b. and c. until the balance of the
charge is in the system.
6) When satisfied the unit is operating correctly,
use the pinch-off tool with the unit still running
and clamp on to 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
pinch-off tube closed. Turn off the unit, allow it to
set for a while, and then test the leakage of the
pinch-off connection.
