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

• TO CLEAN FILTER

The air filter will become dirty as it removes dust from the inside air. It should be washed at least every 2 weeks. If the air filter remains full of dust, the air flow will decrease and the cooling capacity will be reduced, possibly damaging the unit.

1. Pull the inlet grille forward and pull out the air filter. (Fig. 1)

2. Wash the air filter in warm 104°F (40°C) water. Be sure to shake off all the water before replacing the filter.

• CLEANING THE AIR CONDITIONER

The front grille and inlet grille may be wiped with a cloth dampened in a mild detergent solution. (Fig. 2) The cabinet may be washed with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water, then polished with a liquid wax used for appliances.

To ensure continued peak efficiency, the condenser coils (outside of unit) should be checked periodically and cleaned if clogged with soot or dirt from the atmosphere.

• HOW TO REMOVE THE FRONT GRILLE

1. Pull the inlet grille forward.

2. Remove the screw securing the front grille. (Fig. 3)

3. Push the grille up from the bottom and pull the top of the grille away from the case as the top tabs lift out of their slots. (Fig. 4)

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

1. This unit is designed for installation in standard double hung windows with actual opening widths of 22" to 36". The upper and lower sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of 13" from the bottom of the sash to the window stool.

2.If a 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 by the storm window frame. See Fig. 5-2. The top of the wood strip should be approximately

/4" higher than the storm window frame (STORM WINDOW FRAME) or wood strip (OUTDOORS) to help condensation to drain properly to the outside.

3. Install a second wood strip (approximately 18" long by 1

/2" wide and same thickness as first strip) in the center of the outer sill flush against the back off the inner sill. This will raise the L bracket as shown in Fig. 5-2.

4. The thickness of the second wood strip may not be the same as the first wood strip. The thickness of the second wood strip must be defined to keep the

/4 inch distance between the

inner sill or the top of the first wood strip and the outer sill.

Remove the backing from the seal strip and attach the seal strip to the underside of the bottom window. (Fig. 7)

B. NOW START INSTALLATION

1. LOCATING UNIT IN A WINDOW

Open the window and mark center line on the center of the inner sill, as shown in Fig. 8.

2. ATTACH L BRACKET

a. Install the L brackets behind the inner window

sill, with short side of bracket as shown. Use the 2 screws (TYPE A) provided.

b. The bracket helps to hold the unit securely in

place. Be sure to place bracket edge flush against back of inner sill. See Fig. 9.

3. INSTALL THE AIR CONDITIONER IN THE WINDOW

a. 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 bracket. See Fig. 9.

IMPORTANT :

When the air conditioner drops into the L bracket, the air conditioner will be centered in window opening as shown in Fig. 10.

b. While steadying the air conditioner, carefully

bring the window sash down behind the upper guide of the air conditioner, as shown in Fig. 11.

4. SECURE THE GUIDE PANELS

Extend the guide panels (TYPE F) to fill the window opening using 4 screws (TYPE B) to secure them, as shown in Fig. 12.

5. INSTALL THE SASH SEAL AND SASH LOCK

a. Cut the sash seal (TYPE E) to the window width.

Stuff the sash seal between the glass and the window to prevent air and insects from getting into the room, as shown in Fig. 12.

b. Fasten the L bracket using a screw (TYPE A), as

shown in Fig. 12.

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

Fasten the support bracket (TYPE G) using a removed screw. Attach the support bracket (TYPE G) in the inner window sill with a screw (TYPE B), as shown Fig. 13.

7. Window installation of room air conditioner is now

completed. See ELECTRICAL DATA for attaching power cord to electrical outlet.

C. HOW TO SECURE THE DRAIN PIPE

In humid weather, excess water may cause the BASE PAN to overflow. To drain the water, remove the DRAIN CAP and secure the DRAIN PIPE to the rear hole of the BASE PAN. (Fig. 14) Press the drain pipe into the hole by pushing down and away from the fins to avoid injury.

REMOVAL FROM WINDOW

Turn the air conditioner off, disconnect the power cord, remove the Support Bracket, 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. Lift the air conditioner from the window and remove the sash seal from between the windows.

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, rated 15A, 125V.

Before you call for service...

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

Normal Operation

• You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown 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 relay 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.

Abnormal Operation

Problem Possible Causes What To Do

■ The air conditioner is unplugged.

■ The fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped.

■ Power failure.

■ Airflow is restricted.

■ TEMP Control set to a

higher number.

■ The air filter is dirty.

■ The room may have been

hot.

■ Cold air is escaping.

■ Cooling coils have iced up.

■ Ice blocks the air flow and

stops the air conditioner from cooling the room.

• Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed completely into the outlet.

• Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker.

• When power is restored, wait 3 minutes to restart the air conditioner to prevent tripping of the compressor overload.

• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the front of the air conditioner.

• Set the TEMP Control to a lower number.

• Clean the filter at least every 2 weeks.

See the operating instructions section.

• When the air conditioner is first turned on you need to allow time for the room to cool down.

• Check for open furnace floor registers and cold air returns.

• Set the air conditioner's vent to the closed position.

• See Air Conditioner Freezing Up below.

• Set the mode control at High Fan at a high

temperature.
