IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE The power supply cord with
this air conditioner contains a current detection device designed to reduce the risk of fire. Please refer to the section Operation of Current Device for details. In the event that the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorized repairman.
Power supply cord with 3-prong grounding plug and current detection device
,
Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong.
,
WARNING
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug. Do not remove any prong from the power cord.
WARNING
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.
For your safety
Electrical Information

To choose operating mode, press the Mode button. Each time you press the button, a mode is selected in a sequence that goes from Auto, Cool,Heat, Dry , and Fan. The indicator light beside will be illuminated and remain on once the mode is selected.
To operate on Auto feature:
When you set the air conditioner in AUTO mode, it will automatically select cooling, heating(cooling only models without), or fan only operation depending on what temperature you have selected and the room temperature. The air conditioner will control room temperature automatically around the temperature point set by you.
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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
