IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The safety instructions below will tell you how to use your room air conditioner to avoid harm to yourself or
damage to your ROOM AIR CONDITIONER.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.
PREVENT ACCIDENTS
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your air conditioner, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen.
If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to clean both sides of the glass first. Ifthe window is a triple-track type with a screen panel included, you may want to remove the screen completely before installation.
Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to the instructions in this manual.
Save this manual and installation instructions for possible future use in removing or reinstalling this
unit.
Use gloves when handling the air conditioner. Be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins on
front and rear coils.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
The complete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner is stated on the serial plate. Refer to the
rating when checking the electrical requirements.
Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.
Your air conditioner must be plugged into a properly grounded wall receptacle. Ifthe wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or
circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper receptacle.
Do not run air conditioner with packing sheet of the back of the sleeve, and packing corner and
blue tape of the air conditioner. This could result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
_ Avoid fire hazard or electric shock.
Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove any prong from the power cord.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Do not under any
circumstances cut,
remove, or bypass the grounding prong from this plug.

ENERGY SAVING IDEAS
The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory operation.
Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.
Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains, or furniture; or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
Close the floor and wall registers and the fireplace damper so cool air does not escape up the
chimney and into the duct work.
Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day.
Clean the air filter as recommended in the
MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
Proper insulation and weather stripping in your
home will help keep warm air out and cool air in.
External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air conditioner's work
load.
Operate heat producing appliances such as
ranges, washers, dryers, and dishwashers during
the coolest part of the day.

HOW AND WHY
Your room air conditioner provides the following functions to make hot weather living more
comfortable:
Cools and circulates room air.
Lowers humidity by removing excess moisture.
Filters out summertime dust, dirt, and some airborne impurities.
The air conditioner performs these functions by drawing room air through a filter which traps dust
and dirt particles. The air then passes over a cooling coil which refrigerates the air and removes
excess moisture. The same air is then returned to the room- cooler, drier, and cleaner. Moisture
removed from the room air is carried to the outside and evaporated.
Your air conditioner is designed to be easy to operate and to provide plenty of cooling power.
NORMAL SOUNDS FIG.25
Aside from the regular fan motor and compressor sounds coming from your air conditioner, you will once in a while hear a pinging sound. This is the result of moisture being picked up from the air in the
room and thrown against the air conditioner's fan. This is normal and should not be cause for concern.
Also, do not be alarmed if you hear a slight hissing or gurgling sound coming from your air conditioner after
it is off. These are normal coolant noises.
CAPACITY AND RUNNING TIME
Proper unit size is important in deciding the desired comfort for the area you want to cool. The proper size is determined by the number of square feet in
the area to be cooled. Whenever the heat or humidity load is above normal
the air conditioner must run longer and more often to keep the desired temperature you have selected. Under heavy heat load conditions the air conditioner may need to run constantly to keep the temperature you want.
At times using the MED FAN setting to circulate the room air may make it comfortable even though you
do not have the air conditioner set to cool the air. This will decrease your cost of use.

The unit may vibrate and make noise
because of poor wall or window
construction.
- Compressor The modern high

You may hear droplets of water
