Installation
Complete step-by-step installation instructions are furnished
with your unit. These instructions will be found on a separate
page included with this manual or in the mounting kit
assembly. Follow these instructions carefully. Keep these
instructions with this manual for future reference. Your unit
will be one of the following three designs:
• Unit with a window mounting kit
These models are designed for mounting though an
opening in a wall. These units can be adapted to
window installation by using the optional window mounting kit supplied with your unit.
• Unit without a window mounting kit
No window mounting kit is supplied with the unit.
These models are designed for mounting through an
opening in a wall. These units can be adapted to
window installation by purchasing an optional window
mounting kit. Consult your dealer to choose the kit that
is appropriate for your model and installation.
Room Heat Pumps
Heat pumps work by moving heat instead of creating it. In the
summer, the cool indoor coil absorbs heat from your room
and moves it outdoors, providing cooling. In the winter, heat
pumps reverse this operation. By lowering the temperature
of the outdoor coil below the outdoor temperature, the heat
pump absorbs the heat from outdoors and moves it inside
your house. This heat transferring process is very efficient.
For example, at 45°F outdoor temperature, a heat pump can
provide 2 ½ watts of heat for every watt of electricity it
consumes.
As outdoor temperatures drop, the heating capacity and
efficiency of the heat pump declines. At temperatures below
45°F, it is likely that ice will form on the outdoor coil. Heat
pump units are designed to operate as a heat pump above
approximately 40°F. Below 40°F, these units switch automatically from reverse cycle heat pump to auxiliary electric
heating. No defrost is required. There is no minimum
operating temperature.

Changing Airflow Direction Baffles
Airflow on unit may be diverted left or right from center by
baffles. Upward and downward air discharge is provided by
tilting louvers. Adjust baffles and tilt louvers for desired
airflow pattern.
Airflow Around Unit
Check the indoor grille and outdoor louvers for obstructions
to airflow. Do not block the airflow to and from the unit. If air
is obstructed and/or deflected back into the unit, the air
conditioner’s compressor may cycle on and off rapidly. This
could damage your unit.
Drain Cup Installation and Use
Your air conditioner uses a system where the water removed
from the indoor air (condensate) is channeled to the outdoor
side of the unit. The outdoor fan blade has a “slinger” ring
attached to it that dips into the water and slings the water
onto the outdoor coil surface. This is the sound of water you
hear during normal operation. The water quickly evaporates
on this warm surface and improves the efficiency of your air
conditioner. In normal conditions the unit can evaporate the
water as fast as it is removed from the indoor air.
However, in very humid conditions excess amounts of water
may drip off the unit chassis. If this proves to be a problem,
install the condensate drain cup included with the unit to
route excess water where it would not be a problem (see
illustration).
To install, remove the unit chassis from the outer case. Insert
the condensate drain cup through the recessed ½” hole on
the back center of the outer case. Once inserted, place a ½”
diameter hose or tube on the drain cup bottom spout. The
hose allows you to route where you want the excess water to
go. Reinsert the unit chassis into the outer case. The unit
basepan overflow hole will be positioned directly above the
drain cup and will catch any water that might run out.

Switchover Thermostat Control
Emergency heat switch overrides heat pump (compressor)
and starts auxiliary electrical heater. When switch is ON,
heat pump is locked out.
• Use emergency switch only when heat pump fails to
provide adequate heat. Cause of heat pump malfunction should be determined by authorized servicer. Cost
of operating unit will increase when emergency heat
switch is engaged.
Only for Qualified Service Personnel
To access and engage emergency switch:
• Unplug unit.
1. Remove front grille, air filter, and plastic front, as described
in Installation Instructions.
2. Slide chassis out of case about two inches.
3. Locate access hole for emergency switch above label on
right front of control box.
4. Remove control panel for access.
5. Remove outdoor thermostat from control box and locate
"flat head" adjustment screw on back of thermostat.
6. To start emergency heat, insert flathead screwdriver into
slot and turncounterclockwiseuntil switch-stop is reached.
7. Return chassis to case.
8. Re-install lthermostat and mount control panel door.
9. Replace plastic front, air filter, and front
grille.
