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.

INSTALLATION

Features and 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.
