Electrical Requirements
Ground wire must be connected to the ground screw located in
the lower right corner of the air conditioner when the air
conditioner is in the cabinet.
The electrical ratings for your air conditioner are listed on the
model and serial number label. The model and serial number
label is located on the right-hand side of the air conditioner
cabinet.
Specific electrical requirements are listed in the chart below.
Follow the requirements for the type of plug on the power supply
cord.
Recommended Grounding Method
This air conditioner must be grounded. This air conditioner is
equipped with a power supply cord having a grounded 3 prong
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, grounded 3 prong outlet, grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet
is not available, it is the customer's responsibility to have a
properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified electrical
installer.
It is the customer's responsibility:
■
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
■
To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 -
latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
One Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269

shown.
This room air conditioner is equipped with a power supply cord
required by UL. This power supply cord contains state-of-the-art
electronics that sense leakage current. If the cord is crushed, the
electronics detect leakage current and power will be
disconnected in a fraction of a second.

Through-the-Wall Cabinet Installation
NOTES:
■ Handle the air conditioner gently.
■ Be sure your air conditioner cabinet does not fall out of the
opening during installation or removal.
■ The location where the power cord exits the air conditioner
should be no more than 4 ft (122 cm) from a grounded
3 prong outlet.
■ Do not block the louvers on the front panel.
■ Do not block the louvers on the outside of the air conditioner.
■ It is the customer's responsibility and obligation to have this
product installed by a qualified technician familiar with
through-the-wall room air conditioner installations.
Option 1-Wood, metal or plastic molding
When using a wood, metal or plastic molding, the wood frame
should line up with the inside wall as shown.
Option 2-Plastered wall with no molding
If the plastered wall is to be flush with the cabinet and no molding
is used, the wood frame must be set ¹⁄₂" (13 mm) into the inside
wall.
Install Wood Frame
1. Construct the wood frame. See "ocation Requirements”for
dimensions.
2. Measure the outside width and height of the frame to
determine the wall opening dimensions.
3. Cut the opening through the wall. Remove and save the
insulation.
NOTES:
■ Dimension for depth depends on the wall thickness and
the type of molding.
■ Do not block louvers in the air conditioner cabinet.
■ Use 1" (2.5 cm) or thicker lumber for the wood frame.
4. Apply the wood preservative to the outside exposed surface.
5. Insert the frame in the wall opening. Square and level the
frame.
6. Attach the frame securely to the wall.
Install Cabinet into Wood Frame
1. Insert the cabinet into the framed wall opening.
2. Use a level to check that the cabinet is level side to side.
3. Check that the air conditioner cabinet is tilted to the outside
so that water will run to the outside.
Complete Through-the-Wall Installation
1. Reuse the insulation to seal opening between the cabinet and
the frame.
2. Use the existing holes and six 1" (2.5 cm) wood screws (not
provided) to attach the cabinet to the frame.
NOTE: Do not overtighten the screws or the cabinet will
distort and provide a poor air seal between the cabinet and
the air conditioner.
3. Caulk all outside wall openings around the cabinet.

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 Cool 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.
