INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Your air conditioner will install into standard double hung windows with actual clear opening widths of 22 to 36 inches (558mm to 914mm) (FIG. 1).

Lower sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of 13 inches (330mm). 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.

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 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

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 upper and lower 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 D) 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

• Install the L brackets on the outer sill with the short side of the bracket against the back of the inner sill. Install one L bracket 8" to each side of center line. 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.

DRAINAGE

First, be sure to insert the drain pipe into base pan before installation. The air conditioner must be installed with a slight tilt downward (see FIG. 8) for proper water drainage. The air conditioner will drain the excess condensed water through the drain pipe.

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 F) to fill the window opening using 4 screws (ITEM B) to secure them, as shown in FIG. 9.

INSTALL THE SASH SEAL AND SASH LOCK

• Cut the foam seal (ITEM E) to the window width. Stuff the foam seal between the glass and the window 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 window from being raised which may result in unit falling.

• Remove the screws that secure the cabinet and base pan in the right side.

• Attach the support bracket (ITEM H) in the inner window sill with a screw (ITEM B), as shown Fig. 10.

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. 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 1

" 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. 11.

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 backward, draining any condensate water. Lift the air conditioner from the window and remove the sash 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. 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

You may hear air movement from the fan.

Condenser

You may hear droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a pinging or clicking sound.

Unit Vibration

The unit may vibrate and make noise because of poor wall or window construction.

Compressor

The modern high efficiency compressor may have a high pitched hum or pulsating noise that cycles on and off.

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 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. (See page 10)
