About the Controls on the Air Conditioner
Additional controls and important information.

Ventilation

The ventilation lever must be in the CLOSE position in order to maintain the best cooling conditions. When fresh air is necessary in the room, set the ventilation lever to the OPEN position.
The damper is opened and room air is drawn out. NOTE: Before using the ventilation feature, and prior to installing the front grille,
pull down part until level with part .

Air Direction

The vertical air direction is adjusted by rotating the horizontal louver forward or backward manually.
The horizontal air direction is adjusted by rotating the vertical louver right or left manually or by Remote Controller.
The direction of air can be controlled wherever you want to cool by adjusting the horizontal louver and the vertical louver.

HORIZONTAL AIR-DIRECTION CONTROL

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. Press the drain pipe into the hole by pushing down and away from the fins to avoid injury.(See Fig.1)
Optional(CW3H02502C)
1. Remove the rubber plug and slide the chassis out from the cabinet.(See Fig.2)
2. Install the drain pan over the corner of the cabinet where you removed the plug with 4 (or 2) screws.(See Fig.3)
3. Connect the drain hose to the outlet located at the bottom of the drain pan. You can purchase the drain hose or tubing locally to satisfy your particular needs. (Drain hose is not supplied).(See Fig.3)
4. Select the most appropriate connection from among the figures to the right (by considering the hole of the unit) to fit drain pan to your own unit.(See Fig.3)
5. Slide the chassis back into the cabinet. Reinstall the cabinet screws. Secure the cabinet to chassis by using screws. (See Fig.4)

Air Filter Cleaning

The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned at least once every 2 weeks or more often if necessary.
TO REMOVE:
1. Open the inlet grille upward by pulling out the bottom of the inlet grille or downward by pulling out the top of the inlet grille.
2. Using the tab, pull up slightly on the filter to release it and pull it down or up.
3. Clean the filter with warm, soapy water under 40°C (104°F).
4. Rinse and gently shake the water from the filter and let it dry before replacing it.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the air conditioner without a filter because dirt and lint will
clog it and reduce performance.

Features and Installation

INSTALLATION

1. To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the unit is installed securely and firmly
2. Install the unit where the sunlight does not shine directly on the unit.
3. The outside of the cabinet must extend outward for at least 28cm (11") and there should be no obstacles, such as a fence or wall, within 50.8cm (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.
CAUTION: All side louvers of the cabinet must remain exposed to the outside of the
structure.
4. Install the unit a little slanted so the back is slightly lower than the front (about 12.7mm (1/
2")).
This will force condensed water to flow to the outside.
5. Install the unit with the bottom about 76.2cm (30")~152.4cm (60") above the floor level.

Window Requirements

NOTE: 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 55.88cm (22") to
91.44cm (36").
The top and bottom window sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of 38cm (15") from the bottom of the upper sash to the window stool.
