SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

READ ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USING THE AIR CONDITIONER.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

Do not store or use gasoline or other fl ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any

•
other appliance. Read product labels for fl ammability and other warnings.

PREVENT ACCIDENTS

To reduce the risk of fi re, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your air conditioner, follow
basic precautions including the following:

Be sure the electric service is adequate for the model you have chosen. This information can be

•
found on the serial plate located on the side of the cabinet and behind the grill.
If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to clean both sides of

•
the glass fi rst. If the window is a triple-track type with a screen panel included, remove the screen
completely before installation.
Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to the provided

•
installation instructions. Save this manual and the installation instructions for possible future use in
removing or installing this air conditioner.
When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fi ns on the front and

•
rear coils.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

The complete electrical information for your air conditioner is stated on the serial plate. Refer to the
rating when checking the electrical requirements.

Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fi re hazards, proper

•
grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for
protection against shock hazards. Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the
grounding prong.
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
qualifi ed electrician install the proper receptacle.
Do not run the air conditioner with the outside protective cover in place. This could result in

•
mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

•

POWER SUPPLY CORD CURRENT DEVICE

power cord, follow these steps:

Plug in the air conditioner.

1.
The power supply cord will have two buttons on the plug head. Press the TEST button. You will

2.
notice a click as the RESET button pops out.
Press the RESET button. Again, you will notice a click.

3.

BEFORE ASKING FOR SERVICE 9

USING THE AIR CONDITIONER

To operate the air conditioner:

Set the thermostat to the highest number (coldest or cooler setting).

1.
Set the selector control to the highest COOL setting.

2.
Adjust the louvers for comfortable air fl ow.

3.
Once the room has cooled, adjust the thermostat to the setting you fi nd most comfortable.

4.

Note: If the air conditioner is turned off, wait three minutes before restarting. This allows pressure
inside the compressor to equalize. Failure to do so may be harmful to your air conditioner.

NORMAL AIR CONDITIONER SOUNDS

HIGH PITCHED CHATTER

Today’s high effi ciency compressors may have a high pitched chatter during the cooling cycle.

VIBRATION

Unit may vibrate and make noise because of poor wall or window construction or incorrect installation.

PINGING or SWISHING

Droplets of water hitting the condenser during normal operation may cause “pinging” or “swishing”
sounds.

GURGLING or HISSING

“Gurgling” or “hissing” noises may be heard due to refrigerant passing through the evaporator during
normal operation.

SOUND OF RUSHING AIR

At the front of the air conditioner, you may hear the sound of rushing air being moved by the fan.
