Power Cord with
Arc Detection Device
The power cord supplied with this air
conditioner is equipped with an Arc
Detection Device designed to shut off power
to the unit when it senses an arc fault
condition. An arc fault is an unintentional
electrical discharge that occurs when
electrical products or wires are damaged,
aged, or improperly used. An arc fault can be
potentially hazardous if [eft undetected.
• Do not remove or modify this plug
• Do not use as an on/off switch
• Do not use outdoors
• Do not push furniture against or place
furniture on the electrical cord. This can trip
the test switch and/or damage the cord and
become a potential condition for arcing
• Do not attempt to repair the cord. If the cord
requires replacement, ca[[ an authorized
servicer.
• The Arc Detection Device is not a Ground
Fault Interrupter and should not be used as
such
• The Arc Detection Device contains an
electronic circuit board and should not be
submerged or exposed to water spray
Resetting
If the Arc Detection Device has tripped, the
reset button will pop up.
Follow these steps to reset the Arc Detection
Device:
1. Unplug unit from electrical outlet
2. Press the reset button
3. Plug the unit back into electrical outlet
4. Check to see if power has returned to the

Testing
You should test the Arc Detection Device
equipped power cord monthly, after every
major electrical storm, or if power to your
Room Air Conditioner has been interrupted.
Follow these steps to test the Arc Detection
Device:
1. Unplug unit from electrical outlet
2. Press the reset button
3. Plug the unit back into electrical outlet
4. Press test button. Unit should trip and reset

Electrical Shock Hazard_jl
• Plug unit only into a grounded "_ A
electrical outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord or plug
adapter with this unit.
• Do not operate unit with decorative front
or filter removed.
• Failure to follow these precautions could
result in electrical shock, fire or personal
injury.
• If the air conditioner has a serial plate
rating of 115 volts and greater than 7.5
amps, it must have its own fuse or circuit
breaker, and no other device or unit
should be operated on that fuse or circuit
breaker.
• If the air conditioner has a serial plate
rating of 230 volts, it must have its own
fuse or circuit breaker, and no other
device or unit should be operated on that
fuse or circuit breaker.
• We recommend that a qualified
electrician install unit in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and local
codes and ordinances.
• Use copper conductors of correct wire
gauge and protector size only.
• Do not alter cord or plug end. Do not
remove warning label on cord.
Important Grounding Requirements
• Air conditioner has a three-prong
grounding plug on the power supply cord,
which must be plugged into a properly
grounded three-prong wall receptacle for
your protection against possible shock
hazard. For models up to and including
7.5 amperes, use a grounding type wall
receptacle to match the cord plug.
• For models above 7.5 amperes use a single
outlet grounding type wall receptacle to
match the cord plug.
Do not operate this air conditioner without
proper time delay circuit protection (circuit
breaker or fuse). Refer to serial plate for
proper power supply requirements.

WINDOW INSTAI.I.ATON
Window Requirements
Air conditioner is factory prepared for installation in standard
double hung windows (air conditioner cannot be installed in other
types of windows). The air conditioner can be installed in
windows 23" to 34" wide when filler panels are used. In windows
19" to 22" wide the air conditioner can be installed without the
filler panels. All windows must open at least 12 3/4" vertically.
Install the air conditioner in a window where there will be enough
clearance around the cabinet to allow ample circulation of air
through unit. All supporting parts should be secured to firm wood,
masonry, or metal.
Filler Panel Installation
Place tabbed side of curtain in track on side of air conditioner
1.
cabinet, and slide down the track until the curtain is even top
and bottom (Fig.1).
2.
Slide the filler panel frame onto the air conditioner cabinet using
the tracks on the top and bottom of the unit. Slide the frame as
close to the air conditioner as possible so that the curtain locks
into place. Gently pull the frame out until it is the correct length
for your application.

3. To overcome storm window interference, securely attach 2" wide
wood strips to the window stool and sill, with screws. Strips
should be as long as window opening and flush with back side of
stool Thickness of strips should be controlled by amount of
interference (Fig. 3).
4. Keeping a firm grip on air conditioner, carefully center air
conditioner in window opening with the bottom bar between the
window stool and the angle bracket. Air conditioner should slant
slightly downward on the outside as shown by half a bubble off
on a carpenters level. This outward pitch prevents water from
entering the room (Fig. 3).
5. Close the window until it touches behind air conditioner top bar.
Slide filler panels outward until they touch window sash tracks.
(Do not release grip on air conditioner until lower window sash
is in final position)(Fig. 3).
6. Secure top of filler panels by driving 5/8" long wood screws into
window sash through mounting holes in top slides.
7. Secure bottom of filler panels by driving 5/8" long screws into
window sill through filler panel tabs.
8. Cut foam seal to width of window and install between upper and
lower window sash (Fig. 4).
Caution: Do not drill a hole in bottom pan. Unit is designed to
operate with approximately 1/2" of water in bottom pan.
Installation in window 19" to 22" wide
(Do not attach filler panels for this application)
1. Refer to steps 1 and 2 of preceding instructions.
2. Close window until it touches behind top bar (Fig. 4).
3. Fasten lower window sash to window frame using finishing nails,
wood screws, or "1." brackets (Fig. 5).
4. Iffiller is required on sides of air conditioner, cut foam seal to size
and fill both sides.
5. Cut foam seal to width of window and install between upper and
lower window sash (Fig. 4).
