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. 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.

V.'_r_vl;1:i_ll_[qELECTRICAL 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 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.

ENERGY SAVINGIDEAS

• 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 conditioner 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 or 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.

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

If the air conditioner is blocked by a storm
window frame, see step 16 on page 8 before

beginning to install.
H Remove the screws which fasten the cabinet at

the back and side of the unit. Save side screws.

Discard back screws.

STORM WINDOW FRAME

• Ifstorm window presents interference, fasten a 2"
wide wood strip to the inner window sill across the full
width of the sill. The wood strip should be thick
enough to raise the height of the window sill so that

the unit can be installed without interference from the
the storm window frame. See FIG. 20.

•Air conditioners covered in this manual pose an
excessive weight hazard. Two or more people

are needed to move and install the unit.
To prevent injury or strain, use proper lifting and

carrying techniques when moving unit.

• When handling the air conditioner, be careful to
avoid cuts from sharp metal fins on front and

rear coils.

• Make sure air conditioner does not fall during
removal.

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.21

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 modern 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. 21

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, electric

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 not use 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 to the setting you find most

comfortable.

NOTE : Ifthe air conditioner is turned 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 te the outside (OPEN). (FIG. 23)

• The CLOSE position is used when maximum
cooling is desired. It may also be used for air

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 into the room through your home's
normal air passages.

• The OPEN or CLOSE position can be used with
any fan selection.
