In this mode, the fan speed cannot be adjusted, it
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

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.

This units increased performance characteristics means that;
1. The rear air intake moved to the opposite side,
2. The depth had to be increased.
It is very important that these installation instructions are followed so your unit can operate at
maximum efficiency.
If this is an existing sleeve, and there is an existing rear grill, the louvers will have to be bent
as per the instructions at the beginning of each section.
If this proves too difficult to accomplish;
EITHER
1. Remove the existing grill.
2. Place the included aluminum grill towards the rear of the unit.
3. Mark through the hole positions.
4. Drill through the sleeves flanges with a 1/8 drill bit.

Direct Unit Mounting:
The previous directions are the preferable way to mount the new rear grill. The units performance is
slightly better and the possibility of drafts is reduced. As a last resort, direct mounting of the grill
to the unit can be considered.
Note: The grill must be installed prior to inserting the unit into the sleeve.
1. Attach the 2 seal pieces (1 X3/8 X14 ) as shown in Fig. 1.
2.Position the grill over the rear of the unit making sure that:
a. The double set of screw holes are at the bottom.
b. The fins of the grill are pointed away from the unit.
3. Align the top of the grill with the top of the unit. The overhang on each side is equal.
4. If the unit has not been pre-drilled (some models), carefully drill 4-1/8 holes through the
grill and into the side flange of the unit approximately 1 to 2 from the top and bottom as
in Fig. 2.3 .
(Be careful not to drill into the copper heat exchanger coils.)
5. Install 4 - #8 self tapping screws to affix the grill to the unit.
6. Insert the unit into the sleeve.

bottom pieces into side pieces and snapping
into place.

CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit
before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks
or as necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can
build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the
cooling coils.
Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and
out.
Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing deter gent and warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly.
Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be
sure the filter is thoroughly dry before replacing.
Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the
filter clean.
Note: Never use hot water over 104 (40 ) to
cl ean th e ai r fil ter. 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 washed 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 around the controls. Excess water in or around
the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
Plug in air conditioner after unit has dried out completely.
Winter Storage
If you plan to store the air conditioner 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 keep unit in the upright position.
