Electrical Safety

IMPORTANT
(PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)

FOR THE USER'S PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS
APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug. Use this with a standard
three-slot (grounding) wall power outlet to minimize the
hazard of electric shock. The customer should have
the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly
grounded.

DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONG FROM THE POWER PLUG.

A. SITUATIONS WHEN THE APPLIANCE WILL BE

DISCONNECTED OCCASIONALLY

Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
discourage the use of an adapter plug. However, if you
wish to use an adapter, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made. Use UL-listed adapter,
available from most local hardware stores.
The large slot in the adapter must be aligned with the
large slot in the receptacle to assure a proper polarity
connection.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall
receptacle cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not
insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring. The customer should have
the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

Disconnect the power cord from the adapter, using
one hand on each. Otherwise, the adapter ground
terminal might break. DO NOT USE the appliance with
a broken adapter plug.

B. SITUATIONS WHEN THE APPLIANCE WILL BE

DISCONNECTED OFTEN

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations.
Unplugging the power cord frequently can lead to an
eventual breakage of the ground terminal. The wall
power outlet should be replaced by a three-slot
(grounding) outlet instead.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
discourage the use of an extension cord. However, if
you wish to use an extension cord, use a CSA
certified/UL-listed 3-wire (grounding) extension cord.

• There are sharp edges that can cause serious cuts.

• If the unit is to be installed close to the seaside, it needs
additional treatment on the heat exchanger.

• When lifting the air conditioner, it is HEAVY.
Use 2 people to lift.

For existing sleeve, you should measure the wall sleeve
dimensions.
You can install the new air conditioner according to these
installation instructions to achieve the best performence. All
wall sleeves used to mount the new air conditioner must be
in good structural condition and have the rear grille that
securely attaches to the sleeve or the flange of the sleeve
to secure the new air conditioner.

• To avoid vibration and noise, make sure the unit is
installed securely and firmly.

When installing the sleeve, make certain there is nothing
within 20" of the back that would interfere with heat
radiation and exhaust air flow.

• Before installation, Check the insulation on the inner side
of the sleeve. If there is no insulation, place the insulation.

• Check the bottom corner's joint gap of the sleeve, If there
is, fill the gap with putty.

To maintain the best

performance of the LG PTAC,
an insulation strip must be
attached. The insulation strip
is provided with the box.
Refer to the diagram below.

1) Take out the insulation strip from the upper packing.

2) Attach the insulation strip onto the rear upper side of the

wall sleeve.

3) If anyone would like to improve unit energy efficiency, it

is recommended the change of outside grille for an unit
protection and an addition of a plastic rear grille. (This is
optional.)

Air Filter Cleaning

Vent Filter

TURN THE AIR CONDITIONER OFF AND REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE POWER OUTLET.

The air filter should be checked at least twice a month to see if cleaning is necessary.
Trapped particles in the filter will build up and block the airflow. This reduces the cooling
capacity and also causes an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.

If the filter becomes turn or damaged you should replace
immediately. Replacement filters are available from your
salesperson, dealer, and the authorized customer service
centers.

1. Remove the air filter from the front grille assembly by
pulling the air filter up slightly.

2. Wash the filter using lukewarm water below 104° F(40°C).

3. Gently shake the excess water from the filter completely.
Replace the filter.

Before cleaning the vent filter, disconnect power to the
unit by unplugging the power cord at the wall outlet or
subbase, or disconnect power at the fuse box or circuit
breaker. If unit is operated with vent door closed, the
vent filter does not need to be cleaned.

1. Remove the cabinet front as described in Front
Removal.

2. Remove the six screws securing the chassis to the
wall sleeve with a Phillips-Head screwdriver.

3. Slide the chassis out of the wall sleeve far enough
so that the vent filter is accessible as shown in
Figure A.

4. Remove the vent filter by unscrewing the two screws
at the top of the filter and gently pulling the filter
away from the partition panel. Refer to Figure B.

5. Clean and replace the filter by reattaching the hook
to the bottom of the vent door and replacing the two
screws, slide the chassis back into the wall sleeve,
secure it in place with six screws and reinstall the
front cabinet.

Corrosion Resistant Models

Compressor / Fan Motor

The chassis must be cleaned every four months or more often as the atmospheric conditions
require. Use water and detergent to clean the basepan, center partition and coils. The use of harsh
cleaning materials may cause a deterioration of the coil fins or endplates. Do not use a high
pressure cleaner as it could cause severe damage to the PTAC fins and coils. A hose is okay to use
to clean the coils, but make sure to cover the control with a blanket or plastic bag to keep it dry.

Corrosion Resistant units operating in harsh atmospheric conditions must be removed from the
sleeve and cleaned every 3 months in the same manner as above.

The base pan may overflow due to high humidity.
To drain the excess water, remove the drain cap

from the back of the unit.

The compressor and fan motor are hermetically sealed, permanently lubricated, and require no
additional oiling.

The cabinet front and discharge air grille can be cleaned with a mild soap or detergent. Under no
circumstances should hydrocarbon based cleaners (e.g. acetone, benzene, naphtha, gasoline, etc.)
be used to clean the front or air grilles.

Use care when cleaning the control area. Do not use an excessively wet cleaning cloth.

Corrosion resistant models subjected to harsh seacoast environments must be removed from the
wall sleeve and completely flushed with clean water at least four times a year. The basepan, center
partition, condenser end plates, and the condenser itself should be sprayed with clean, fresh water.
Leaving the unit in the sleeve and simply spraying the outdoor grille is not sufficient.

Troubleshooting Tips save time and money!
Review the chart below first and you may not need to call for service.

• You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown by the slinger fan against the

condenser on rainy days or when the humidity is high. This design feature helps remove moisture and
improve efficiency.

• You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor cycles on and off.

• Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity or on rainy days. The water may overflow and drip

from the outdoor side of the unit.

• The fan may run even when the compressor does not.
