How to connect electricity

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power

cord

of this appliance is

equipped with

three-prong

(grounding) plug which mates with

standard three-prong (grounding)

wall

outlet (Fig. 1 ) to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

PREFERRED

‘

METHOD

&,_-

\5’,

INSURE PROPER GROUND EXISTS

Fig.1

BEFORE USE

Have the

wall

outlet and circuit

checked

a qualified electrician

make sure the outlet is properly

grounded. Where a standard two-prong wall

outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

Use of adapter plug

(115-volt units)

Because of potential

safety

hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against use

an adapter plug. However, if you

still

elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION

may

be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall outlet by use of a UL listed adapter

(Fig. 2) available at most

]ocai

hardware stores.

TEMPORARY

METHOO

Fig.2

BEFORE USE

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

CAUTION: Attaching an adapter ground terminal to wall outlet cover screw does not ground appliance unless cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and wall outlet is grounded through house wiring. You should have circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the

outlet

is properly

grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always

hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

Should the adapter ground terminal break, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

Use of extension cords not recommended

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still

elect

to use an extension cord, it is

absolutely

necessmy

that it be a

UL listed

3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and

120

volts.

Operating Your Air Conditioner Controls

OFF

MASTER CONTROL

THERMOSTAT

Master Control

OFF turns air conditioner off. HI FAN provides high fan speed

operation without cooling. LO FAN provides low fan speed

operation without cooling. HI COOL provides cooling with

high fan speed operation.

LO COOL provides cooling with low fan speed operation.

Thermostat Control

When you turn the Thermostat

Control to the desired setting, the thermostat will automatically control the temperature of the

indoor air. The higher the number

selected, the cooler the indoor air

will be.

The Save Energy Range

is a visual reminder that you can conserve energy by selecting a higher room temperature but still keep the room cool and less humid than outside.

For normal cooling

1. Set Master Control at HI COOL.

2. Set Thermostat Control at desired number (usually the midpoint is a good starting

position). If room temperature is

not satisfactory after a reasonable

time, set the Thermostat Control at

a higher number for a cooler room or at a lower number for a warmer room.

For maximum cooling

1. Set Master Control at HI COOL.

2. Set Thermostat Control at 8.

For quieter operation

1. Set Master Control at LO

COOL.

2. Set Thermostat Control at desired number.

When the Thermostat Control is set on 7 or 8 and the

Fan

is set on low speed, moisture may freeze on the coils and prevent the unit from cooling. If this happens, set the Fan at high speed and set the Thermostat Control at a lower number.

For air circulation and filtering without cooling

Set the Master Control at LO FAN or HI FAN.
