How and Why
Fi_ Electrical Information
Thecornplete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner isstated on the serial
plate Referto the rating when checking the electrical requirements
• Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded To minimize shock and fire
hazards, proper grounding isimportant Thepower cord isequipped with athree-
prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards
• Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle If the
wall receptacle you intend to useis not adequately grounded or protected by a
time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electricianinstall the proper
receptacle
o Do not run airconditionerwith outside protective cover in place Thiscould result
in mechanical damage within the air conditioner
o Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
Your room air conditioner provides the following functions to make hot weather
living more comfortable:
° Cools and circulates room air
° Lowers humidity by removing excessmoisture
Filtersout 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 passesover a coofing coil which
refrigerates the air and removes excessmoisture The sameair is then returned to
the room--cooler, drier and cleaner Moisture removed from the room air iscarried
to the outside and evaporated
Your air conditioner is designed to be easy to operate and to provide plenty of
cooling power
Energy Saving Ideas
• Thecapacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room sizefor 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,
• Closethe fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so coot air does not escape
up the chimney and into the duct work
• Keepblindsand drapes inother windows closedduring the sunniestpartof the day.
• Clean the air filter as recommended in the section "Care and Cleaning"
o Proper insulation and weatherstripping inyour homewill help keepwarm 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
