Electrical Safety

We strongly discourage the use of an adapter due to potential safety hazards. For temporary connections, use only a UL-listed adapter, available from most local hardware stores. Ensure that the large slot in the adapter is aligned with the large slot in the receptacle for a proper polarity connection.

To disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on each to avoid damaging the ground terminal. Avoid frequently unplugging the power cord as this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage.

WARNING: Never use the appliance with a broken adapter.

How to Install the Unit

To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the unit

is installed securely and firmly

Install the unit where the sunlight does not shine

directly on the unit.

The outside of the cabinet must extend outward for

at least 12" and there should be no obstacles, such as a fence or wall, within 20" from the back of the cabinet because it will prevent heat radiation of the condenser. Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.

Install the unit a little slanted so the back is slightly lower than the front (about 1/2").

This will force condensed water to flow to the outside. Install the unit with the bottom about 30"~60" above the floor level.

Window Requirements

: All supporting parts should be secured to firm wood, masonry, or metal.

• This unit is designed for installation in standard double hung windows with actual opening widths from 29" to 41".

• The top and bottom window sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of 18" from the bottom of the upper sash to the window stool.

NOTICE

CAUTION: All side louvers of the cabinet must remain exposed to the outside of the structure.
