IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The safety instructions below will tell you how to use your room air conditioner to avoid harm to yourself or
damagetoyour 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. If the 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 separate installation instructions provided with 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 shook 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 in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If the 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 a protective covering. 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
Do not, under any
circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass
the grounding prong
from this plug.

ENERGY SAVING IDEAS
• The capacity ofthe room air conditioner must tit 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 ofthe day.
• Clean the air filter as recommended in the
MAINTENANCE section ofthis 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.

INSTALLATION
Pick a location which will allow you to blow the cold air into the area you want. Windows used for
installation must be strong enough to support the
weight of the air conditioner. Good installation with
special attention to the proper position of the unit
will lessen the chance that service will be needed.
When cooling more than one room, installation location is very important. To cool your rooms, cold
air must be blown from the air conditioner in a
straight path.
HOW TO INSTALL

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 fiffer 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.23
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.
Compressor The modem high efficiency
compressor may have a high pitched hum or pulsating
noise that cycles on and off.
Unit Vibration
The unit may vibrate
and make noise because of poor wall
or window construction.
You may hear droplets of water hitting the condenser causing a pinging or clicking sound.
Fan You may hear air
movement from the fan,
FIG. 23
CAPACITY AND RUNNING TIME
Proper unit size is important in deciding the desired
comfort for the area you want to cool. An
undersized unit will not have the capability to cool, leaving the area uncomfortably warm. The proper
size is determined by the number of square feet in the area to be cooled, indoor and outdoor
temperature and humidity. 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 the air is not being cooled. This will decrease your cost
of use.

USING THE AIR CONDITIONER
To reduce the risk of fire, etectdc
shock, or injury to persons, read the important SAFETY instructions section before operating this appliance
To begin operating the air conditioner after installation, follow these steps=
1. Plug in the air conditioner. (To prevent electrical
hazards, do notuse an extension cord or an adapter plug.)
2. Set the exhaust vent to the CLOSE position.
3. Set the TEMP Control to the coolest setting.
4. Set the MODE control at the highest COOL level.
5. Adjust the louvers for comfortable air flow.,
6. Once the room has cooled, adjust the TEMP and
Mode Control tothe setting you find most comfortable.
NOTE : If the air conditioner isturned off, wait 3 minutes before restarting. This allows pressure
inside the compressor to equalize. Failure to wait 3 minutes before restarting may cause inefficient
operation. If you move the TEMP Control to a warmer, then
immediately back to a cooler setting, the unit will shut off. Wait 3 minutes before restarting.

VENT CONTROL The Vent Control allows the air conditioner to
either recirculate inside air (CLOSE) or exhaust air to the outside (OPEN). (FIG, 25)
• The CLOSE position is used when maximum cooling is desired, It may also be used forair
recirculation without cooling when the air conditioner is set in the FAN position.
• The OPEN position removes stale air from the
room and exhausts it to the outside. Fresh air is drawn intothe room through your home's
normal air passages.
• The OPEN or CLOSE position can be used with
any fan selection.
