Electrical specifications

1. All wiring must comply with local and national electrical codes and must be installed by a licenced electrician. If you have any questions regarding the following instructions, contact a licenced electrician.

2. Check available power supply and resolve any wiring problems BEFORE installing and operating this unit.

3. For your safety and protection, this unit is grounded through the power cord when plugged into a matching wall outlet. If you are

not sure whether your wall outlet is properly grounded, please consult a licenced electrician.

4. The wall outlet (3-pin) must match the plug (3-pin) on the power cord supplied with the unit. DO NOT use plug adapters or extension cords. See (Table 1) for receptacle and fuse information.

5. The rating plate on the unit contains electrical and other technical data. The rating plate is located on the right side of the unit. Make sure to use the correct power supply according to the rating plate of your air conditioner.

Electric Shock Hazard

If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 115 volts and up to and including 7.5 amps, the unit maybe on a fuse or circuit breaker with other devices. However, the maximum amps on all devices for that fuse or circuit breaker can not exceed the amps of the fuse for the circuit breaker.

If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 115 volts and greater than 7.5 amps it must have its own fuse or circuit breaker, and no other device or unit should be operated on the fuse or circuit breaker.

Tips before installation

Your Room Air Conditioner unit is designed to be highly efficient and save energy. Follow these recommendations for greater efficiency.

1. Select thermostat setting that suits your comfort needs and leave the thermostat at that chosen setting.

2. The air filter is very efficient in removing airborne particles. Keep the air filter clean. Typically, the filter should be cleaned once a month. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on outdoor and indoor air quality.

3. Use drapes, curtains, or shades to keep direct sunlight from heating your room, but DO NOT obstruct the air conditioner. Allow air to circulate around the unit without obstructions.

4. Start your air conditioner before outdoor air becomes hot/cold and uncomfortable. This avoids an initial period of discomfort while the unit is cooling or heating off the room.

5. When outdoor temperature is cool enough, use HIGH or LOW FAN only. This circulates indoor air, providing some cooling comfort, and utilizes less electricity than when operating on a cooling setting.
