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.
V!_W:_:t_II_[_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 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.
V!_W,.1;i_ll_[dELECTRICAL 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. 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 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
grounding plug
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.

OBSERVEALL LOCAL CODES AND
ORDINANCES. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUND PRONG.
ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED ON THIS APPLIANCE.
A 208/230-volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15A fused and properly grounded electrical supply is required. A time delay fuse or time delay circuit breaker is recommended. Use a dedicated circuit, serving only this appliance.

supply cord with a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must
be plugged into a mating grounding type wall receptacle and grounded in accordance with
the National Electrical Code (ANSt/NFPA 70) latest edition and all local codes and
ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician.
Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
If you use an existing wall sleeve, you should measure its dimensions.
Install the new air conditioner according to these installation instructions to achieve the best
performance. All wall sleeves used to mount the
new air conditioner must be in good structural condition and have a rear grille to securely attach the new air conditioner. (FIG. 1) With the Kenmore sleeve, you can maintain the
best performance of the new air conditioner. (FIG. 2)

ELECTRICAL SERVICE
Check your available electrical service. The power supply available must be the same as that shown
on the unit nameplate (found on left side of cabinet).
All models are equipped with a 3-prong service plug to provide proper service and safe positive
grounding. Do not change plug in any way. Do not
use an adapter plug. If your present wall outlet does
not match your plug, call a qualified electrician to
make the necessary corrections. SAVE CARTON for storage and this OWNER'S MANUAL for future
reference. The carton is the best way to store unit during winter or when not in use.

INSTALLATION
We strongly recommend the removal of the
oldwall sleeve and the installationof a new Kenmore Wall Sleeve,
If you decide to keep the existing wall sleeve,
you haveto redirect the louvers at the back of the wall sleeve illustration. The use of pliers is
recommended. If you DO NOT redirect, you run
the risk of poor performance or product failure. This is not covered under the terms of the
Kenmorewarranty.
• Pick a location which will allow the conditioned air to blow into the area you want. Good installation
with special attention to the proper position of the
unit will lessen the chance that service will be needed.

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.
Unit Vibration The unit may vibrate and make noise
because of poor wall or window
construction.
Compressor
Fan The modern high
You may hear air efficiency compressor movement from the may have a high pitched
fan. hum or pulsating noise
that cycles on and off.
Condenser
You may hear
droplets of water hitting the condenser
causing a pinging or clicking sound.
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.
