SERVICE MANUAL provides various service information, including the mechanical and electrical
parts etc. This room air conditioner was manufactured and assembled under a strict quality control system.
The refrigerant is charged at the factory. Be sure to read the safety precautions prior to servicing the unit.
1.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. When servicing the unit, set the ROTARY SWITCH
or POWER SWITCH to OFF and unplug the power
cord.
2. Observe the original lead dress.
If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which
have been overheated or damaged by the short
circuit.
3. After servicing the unit, make an insulation resistance test to protect the customer from being
exposed to shock hazards.
1. Unplug the power cord and connect a jumper
between 2 pins (black and white).
2. The grounding conductor (green) is to be open.
3. Measure the resistance value with an ohm meter
between the jumpered lead and each exposed
metallic part on the equipment at all the positions
(except OFF) of the ROTARY SWITCH.
Precaution: The Remote Control unit will not function properly if bright light strikes the sensor window of the air
conditioner or if there are obstacles between the Remote Control unit and the air conditioner.
POWER
• To turn the air conditioner ON, push this button. To
turn the air conditioner OFF, push the button again.
• This button takes priority over any other button.
FAN SPEED
• Every time you push this button, it advances the
setting as follows: {High(F3) → Low(F1) → Med(F2)
→ High(F3)}
• When you first turn it on, the unit is in cool mode,
high fan speed, temperature setting at 72˚F.
TIMER
- SHUT-OFF TIME
TEMPERATURE SETTING
• Use this button to automatically control the
temperature of the room.
The temperature can be set within a range of 60°F
to 86°F by increments of 1°F.
• You will usually use shut-off time while you sleep.
• With unit running, use Timer to set number of hours
until shut-off.
• For your sleeping comfort, once Time is set, the
Temperature setting will raise 2°F after 30 min, and
2°F after another 30 min.
MODE

COOL, ENERGY SAVER, FAN and DRY.
- ENERGY SAVER
• The fan stops when the compressor stops cooling.
Approximately every 3 minutes the fan will turn on
and the unit will check the room air to determine if
cooling is needed.
• Every time you push Timer button, it advances the
Timer setting as follows: 1 Hour → 2 Hours → etc. →
12 Hours maximum.
- START TIME
• While unit not running, use timer to set number of
hours before unit starts.

recovery System.
If there is no valve to attach the recovery system,
install one (such as a WATCO A-1) before venting
the FreonTM. Leave the valve in place after
servicing the system.
2. After discharging the unit completely, remove the
desired component, and unbraze the pinch-off
tubes.
3. Braze service valves into the pinch-off tube ports,
leaving the valves open.
4. Braze the pinch-off tubes with Service valves.
5. Evacuate as follows.
1) Connect the vacuum pump, as illustrated figure
20A.
2) Start the vacuum pump, slowly open manifold
valves A and B with two full turns
counterclockwise and leave the valves open.
The vacuum pump is now pulling through valves
A and B up to valve C by means of the manifold
and entire system.
CAUTION
If high vacuum equipment is used, just crack
valves A and B for a few minutes, then open
slowly with the two full turns counterclockwise.
This will keep oil from foaming and being
drawn into the vacuum pump.
3) Operate the vacuum pump for 20 to 30 minutes,
until 600 microns of vacuum is obtained. Close
valves A and B, and observe vacuum gauge for
a few minutes. A rise in pressure would
indicate a possible leak or moisture remaining in
the system. With valves A and B closed, stop
the vacuum pump.
4) Remove the hose from the vacuum pump and
place it on the charging cylinder. See figure
20B.
Open valve C.
Discharge the line at the manifold connection.
5) The system is now ready for final charging.
TM
6. Recharge as follows :
1) Refrigeration cycle systems are charged from
the High-side. If the total charge cannot be put
in the High-side, the balance will be put in the
suction line through the access valve which you
installed as the system was opened.
2) Connect the charging cylinder as shown in figure
20B.
With valve C open, discharge the hose at the
manifold connection.
3) Open valve A and allow the proper charge to
enter the system. Valve B is still closed.
4) If more charge is required, the high-side will not
take it. Close valve A.
5) With the unit running, open valve B and add the
balance of the charge.
a. Do not add the liquid refrigerant to the Low-
side.
b. Watch the Low-side gauge; allow pressure to
rise to 30 lbs.
c. Turn off valve B and allow pressure to drop.
d. Repeat steps b. and c. until the balance of the
charge is in the system.
6) When satisfied the unit is operating correctly,
use the pinch-off tool with the unit still running
and clamp on to the pinch-off tube. Using a tube
cutter, cut the pinch-off tube about 2 inches from
the pinch-off tool. Use sil-fos solder and solder
pinch-off tube closed. Turn off the unit, allow it to
set for a while, and then test the leakage of the
pinch-off connection.
