MASONRY CONSTRUCTION
1. Cut or build a wall opening in the masonry wall
similar to the frame construction (refer to Step 2
of Thru-The-Wall Installation for wall thickness
greater than 8-1/2").
2. Secure cabinet in place using masonry nails or
the right masonry anchor screws. (Another way
to do this is to build an in-between frame of
2x4's as shown in Step 2 of Thru-The-Wall
Installation but make it double framed on either
side and install between masonry wall opening
and cabinet. Frame must be securely anchored
to masonry wall opening.) This way gives very
good louver clearance on either side of cabinet.

3. Install a lintel to support masonry wall above
cabinet. Existing holes in cabinet can be used
and/or additional holes can be drilled to fasten
cabinet at various positions. Be sure that side
louver clearance is in accordance with Step 1
of Masonry Construction.
4. Install exterior cabinet support brackets as
shown in Step 2 of Thru-The-Wall Installation.
Caulk or flash if needed to provide a weather-
tight seal around top and sides of cabinet.
5. To complete installation, apply wood trim
moulding around room side projection of cabinet.
NOTE: After installing, make sure the air conditioner is tilted 3-4º to the outside to allow water drainage and
perfect cooling efficiency.

CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION
!
Clean air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking and operating like new. Be sure to
unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be cleaned at least every two weeks or as
necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an
accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.
Push the vent handle to the Vent Closed position (where applicable).
Open the front panel.
Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.
Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water.
Rinse filter thoroughly.
Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure the filter is
thoroughly dry before replacing.
As an alternative, vacuum the filter clean.
N
NOTE: Never use hot water over 104 F (40 C) to clean the air filter.
Never attempt to operate the unit without the air filter.
Cabinet Cleaning
Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire
hazard. The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free
cloth or with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and
mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.
Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping the
controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause
damage to the air conditioner.
Plug in air conditioner after unit has dried completely.
Winter Storage
If air conditioner will be stored during the winter,
remove it carefully from the window according to the
installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it
to the original carton. Always store unit in upright position.

• Verify that all doors, windows, curtains and any other openings are closed off. Verify nothing is obstructing the
front grille of unit, such as curtains, etc.
• Allow enough time for room to cool, especially if outside temp is very high.
• Check that the filter is not dirty and louvers are open all the way and blowing in the direction desired.
• Check that unit is set to Cool Mode and that temperature is down enough (but not too low).
• If unit is near a heat source, such as a stove, etc., then relocate unit.
• If air coming from unit is cool to the touch, then unit is working properly; please double check the first three
bullet points above.
• If using Follow Me remote feature, move remote away from unit.
• Temperature sensor behind air filter touching cold coil. These two elements should not be touching.
Carefully straighten tube away from coil.
• Unplug unit for at least 5 minutes. Follow Reset instructions on plug.

• Be sure unit is not too large or too small for the area of the room.
• Remove grille and make sure the temperature sensor is not too close to the coils. These two elements should
not be touching. Carefully straighten tube away from coil.
• Make sure nothing is blocking the grille or side vents.
• Make sure there is no dirt or debris inside the unit or on the filter.
• Reset circuit breaker. Make sure there are not too many items (ie lamps, TV’s, etc.) working off the
same breaker.
• Check plug connection.
• If plug is operating on an on/off switch, be sure that the switch is ‘on’.
• Try plugging unit into another outlet.
• Unplug unit for at least 5 minutes. Follow Reset instructions on plug.
• Make sure there are enough available amps on the circuit for the air conditioner.
• Large units which run on a 230v will require a dedicated 20 or 30 amp circuit.
• Check to be sure the unit is free from debris such as leaves, sticks, etc. Verify nothing is obstructing the unit.
• Check the fan blade for cracks or chips.
• Make sure the unit is properly and securely mounted inside the window or wall.
• Clean the air filter.
