the height of the window silI so that the unit can be
installed without interference from the the storm window
frame. See FIG. 11.
Top of wood strip should be approximately 3/4" higher
than the storm window frame to help condensation to
drain properly to the outside.
• Install a second wood strip (approximately 6" long by
11/2"wide and same thickness as first strip) in the center
of the outer sill flush against the back of the inner sill.

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.12
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.
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 HIGH 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.
Fan
Compressor
The modern high efficiency
compressor may have a high
pitched hum or pulsating
noise that cycles on and off.
You may hear air
movement from the
fan.
Unit Vibration
The unit may vibrate
and make noise
because of poor wall
or window
construction.
Condenser
You may hear
droplets of water
hitting the condenser,
causing a pinging or
clicking sound.

USING THE AIR CONDITIONER
_To reduce the risk of fire, electdc
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 TEMP control to the lowest number.
3. Set the MODE control to the COOL.
4. Adjust the louvers for comfortable air flow with
control tab.
5. Once the room has cooled, adjust the TEMP and
FAN SPEED control to the setting you find most
comfortable.
NOTE : if the 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
compressor will shut off, although the fan will
continue to run. Wait 3 minutes before restarting.
Review the DISPLAY section for other settings.
