adaptor plug. Do not remove any prong from the power cord.
WARNING
Electrical Information
Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have
chosen. This information can be found on the serial plate, which
is located on the side of the cabinet and behind the grill.
Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize
shock and fire hazards, proper grounding is important. The power
cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection
against shock hazards.
Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall
receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately
grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker,
have a qualified electrician install the proper receptacle.
Ensure the receptacle is accessible after the unit installation.
Do not run air conditioner without side protective cover in place.
This could result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
Operation of Current Device
The power supply cord contains a current device that senses damage to the power cord. To test your power
supply cord do the following:
1. Plug in the air conditioner.
2. The power supply cord will have TWO buttons on the plug head.
Plug in &
press RESET
Press the TEST button, you will notice a click as the RESET
button pops out.
3. Press the RESET button, again you will notice a click as the button
engages.
4. The power supply cord is now supplying electricity to the unit.
(On some products this is also indicated by a light on the plug head.)
NOTE: Some plugs have
buttons on the top.
NOTES:
Do not use this device to turn the unit on or off.
Always make sure the RESET button is pushed in for correct operation.
The power supply must be replaced if it fails to reset when either the TEST button is pushed, or it cannot be
reset. A new one can be obtained from the product manufacturer.

starts automatically at a speed according to the
room temperature.
To operate on Fan Only:
Use this function only when cooling is not desired,
such as for room air circulation or to exhaust stale
air(on some models). (Remember to open the vent
during this function, but keep it closed during
cooling for maximum cooling efficiency.) You can
choose any fan speed you prefer.
During this function, the display will show the actual
room temperature, not the set temperature as in the
cooling mode.
In Fan only mode,the temperature is not adjusted.
To operate on Dry mode:
In this mode, the air conditioner will generally
operate in the form of a dehumidifier. Since the
conditioned space is a closed or sealed area, some
degree of cooling will continue.
NOTE:
This function is available on COOL mode.The fan
will continue to run for 3 minutes after the compressor
shuts off.The fan then cycles on for 2 minutes at 10
minute intervals until the room temperature is above

ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Now that you have mastered the operating procedures, here are more features in your control that
you should become familiar with.
The Cool circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on
quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping.
The fan will continue to run during this time.
The control is capable of displaying temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius.
To convert from one to the other, press and hold the Up and Down Temp/Timer buttons at the
same time, for 3 seconds.
Fresh Air Vent Control(on some models):
Figure 1 (VENT CLOSED)
The Fresh Air Vent allows the air conditioner to:
1. Recirculate inside air - Vent Closed (See Fig.1)
2. Draw fresh air into the room- Vent Open (see Fig.2)
3. Exchange air from the room and draws fresh air into
the room - Vent and Exhaust Open (see Fig.3)
Air Directional Louvers
Air Direction(4- way)
Figure 2 (VENT OPEN)
The 4-way air directional louvers allow you to
direct the air flow Up or Down(on some models)
and Left or Right throughout the room as needed.

Height: 16 (40.6 cm) plus twice thickness of wood used to build frame.
Depth : 2-1/2 (6.4 cm) minimum to 6-1/2 (16.5 cm) maximum.
3. Cut the opening through the wall. Remove and save insulation.
4. Apply the wood preservative to the outside exposed surface.
