SAFETY
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.
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 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 a protective covering. This could result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter 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.
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.

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. If air conditioner is blocked by a storm window frame, see step 9 on page 7 before beginning to install.
HOW TO INSTALL
SIDE CURTAINS
Insert the side curtains into the guides of the air conditioner. Fasten the curtains to the unit with screws (ITEM A), as shown in FIG. 2.
FOAM STRIP
Cut the adhesive-backed foam strip (ITEM E) to the window width. Remove the backing from the foam strip and attach the foam strip to the underside of the bottom window. (FIG. 3)
LOCATING UNIT IN WINDOW
Open the window and mark center line with pencil on the center of the inner sill, as shown in FIG. 4.
ATTACH L BRACKET
• Use screws (ITEM A) to install the L brackets on the outer sill as shown. See FIG. 5.
• The bracket helps to hold unit securely in place. Be sure to place bracket edge flush against back of inner sill. See FIG. 5.
• lf air conditioner is blocked by storm window frame, see step 9.

INSTALLATION
INSTALL THE AIR CONDITIONER IN THE WINDOW
• Carefully lift the air conditioner and slide it into the open window. Make sure the bottom guide of the air conditioner drops into the notches of the L brackets.
• When the air conditioner drops into the L brackets, the air conditioner will be centered in window opening as shown in FIG. 7.
• While steadying the air conditioner, carefully bring the window sash down behind the upper guide of the air conditioner, as shown in FIG. 8.
SECURE THE GUIDE PANELS
Extend the guide panels (ITEM G) to fill the window opening using 2 ITEM B and 2 ITEM C screws to secure them, as shown in FIG. 9.
INSTALL THE FOAM SEAL AND SASH LOCK
• Cut the foam seal (ITEM F) to the window width. Stuff the foam seal between the lower and upper window sash to prevent air and insects from getting into the room, as shown in FIG. 9.
• Fasten the remaining L bracket on either side of the window using screw (ITEM A). See FIG. 9 inset. Installing this bracket prevents unit falling from window being raised.
IF AIR CONDITIONER IS BLOCKED BY STORM WINDOW FRAME
• If storm 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. 10. 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 1
1
/2" wide and same thickness as first strip) in the center
of the outer sill flush against the back of the inner sill. Screw the L brackets into this strip. This will raise the L bracket as shown in FIG. 10.
REMOVAL FROM WINDOW
Turn the air conditioner off, and disconnect the power cord. Remove the L bracket and the screws installed through the top and bottom of the guide panels, and save for reinstallation later. Close the guide panels. Keeping a firm grip on the air conditioner, raise the sash, and carefully tilt the air conditioner away from you to drain any condensate water. Lift the air conditioner from the window and remove the foam seal from between the windows.
• 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.

OPERATION
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. 11
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.
FIG. 11
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.

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. Turn Power Switch on.
3. Set the Control Knob control to the coolest setting.
4. Set the Fan Speed Switch control at the high level.
5. Adjust the air direction control tabs for comfortable
air flow.
6. Once the room has cooled, adjust the Control
Knob and Fan Speed Switch 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 Control Knob control to a warmer, then immediately back to a cooler setting, the unit will shut off. Wait 3 minutes before restarting.
Refer to the AIR CONDITIONER FEATURES section for other settings.(See page 10)
