How and Why
ri_ Electrical Information
Thecomplete electrical rating of your new room air conditioneris 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 isimportant Thepower cord isequipped with athree-
g,+
prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards
o Your air conditionerrnust be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle if the

Your room air'conditioner provides the following functions to make hot weather
living more comfortable:
Cools and circulates room air
o 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 passes over a cooling coil which
refrigerates the air and removesexcessmoisture The same air isthen 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
/
o The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room sizefor efficient and
satisfactory operation
• Install timeroom air conditioner on the shady sideof your home, Awindow 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
o Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so coot air does not escape
up the chimney and into the duct work,
o Keep btindsand drapesin other windows closedduring thesunniest partof the day
• Clean the air filter as recommended in the section "Care and Cleaning "
o Properinsulation and weather stripping inyour home will help keep warm air out
and coot air in
_, External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air
conditioner's work load
o Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and
dishwashers during the coolest part of the day
