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.t_V_Vl:1;t_ll_['-IELECTRICAL 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 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 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 REQUIREMENTS
To avoid installation difficulties, read instructions
completely before starting. This publication contains
important information for the installation and
operation of your room air conditioner. Your air
conditioner will install into standard double hung
windows with actual clear opening widths of 26 to
39-3/8 inches (660ram to 1000ram) (FIG. 1).
Lower sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear
vertical opening of 12 inches (305mm). However,
some window frame design variations require
modification to the window for safe, proper
installation. Side louvers and the rear of the air
conditioner must have clear air space to allow
enough airflow through the condenser for heat
removal. The rear of the unit must be outdoors, not
inside a building or garage.

INSTALLATION
To avoid the possibiityof personal injury, unplug
powerto unit before installingor servicing.
Carefully remove air conditioner from carton, check
for possible shipping damage. 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.
If air conditioner is blocked by a storm window
frame, see Step 7 and 8 on Page 8 before
beginning to install.
HOW TO INSTALL

D IF AIR CONDITIONER IS BLOCKED BY
STORM WINDOW FRAME
• If storm window presents interference, fasten a
2"(51mm) 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. 10.
Top of wood strip should be approximately
3/4"(19mm) higher than the storm window frame to
help condensation to drain properly to the outside.
• Install a second wood strip (approximately
6"(152mm) long by 11/2"(38mm) wide and same
thickness as first strip) in the center of the outer sill
flush against the back of the inner sill. (FIG. 10)

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 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.
Compressor
The modern high efficiency
compressor may have a high
pitched hum or pulsating
noise that cycles on and off.
Fan
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.
FIG. 12
NOTE : In humid weather, excess water may cause
the BASE PAN to overflow and be splashed on the
louver.

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 TEMP Control to the coolest setting.
3. Set the MODE control at the highest COOL level.
4. Adjust the louvers for comfortable air flow.
5. Once the room has cooled, adjust the TEMP and
Mode 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 unit will
shut off. Wait 3 minutes before restarting.
