IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
Check the location where air conditioner will be
installed. Proper installation is your responsibility.
Make sure you have everything necessary for
correct installation.
The location should provide:
Grounded electrical outlet within 6 ft of
where the power cord exits the air
conditioner.
NOTE: Do not use an extension cord.
Free movement of air in room to be cooled.
A large enough opening for the air
conditioner.
Adequate wall support for weight of air
conditioner. Air conditioner weights up to 70
lbs.
NOTE: Cabinet louvers & rear of the air
conditioner must not be obstructed. Air must be
able to pass freely through the cabinet louvers.
The rear of air conditioner must be outdoors. Not
inside a building or garage.
Window Requirements:
These instructions are for
a standard double hung
window. You will need to
modify them for other
types of windows.
The air conditioner can be
installed without the
accordion panel if needed
to fit in a narrow window.
See Window Opening
dimensions.
All supporting parts must be secured to firm
wood, masonry or metal.
Follow the dimension in TABLE -1.
TABLE -2
Storm Window Requirements:
A storm window frame will not allow the air
conditioner to tilt properly which in turn will keep
it from draining properly. To adjust for this,
attach a board or piece of wood to the sill. The
board or wood piece should have a depth of at
least 1 1/2”. Make sure the board or piece of
wood is approximately 1/2” higher than the
storm window frame. This will allow the air
conditioner to tilt enough for proper drainage.
See FIG-1.
TABLE -1
Thru the Wall Installation Requirements:
The air conditioner can be thru the wall installed.
The side louvers must never be blocked.
Table -2 provides the maximum wall thickness
dimension from the outer case to side air louvers.

Recommended Grounding Method
This air conditioner must be grounded. This air
conditioner is equipped with a power supply cord
having a grounded 3 prong plug. To minimize
possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, grounded 3 prong outlet,
grounded in accordance with all local and
national codes. If a mating outlet is not available,
it is the customer’s responsibility to have a
properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a
qualified electrical installer.
It is the customer’s responsibility:
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
To assure that the electrical installation
is adequate and in conformance with
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70- latest edition, and all local codes
and ordinances.
Power Supply Cord
NOTE: Your unit’s device may differ from the
ones shown.
This room air conditioner is equipped with a
power supply cord required by UL. This power
supply cord contains state-of-the-art electronics
that sense leakage current. If he cord is crushed,
the electronics detect leakage current and power
will be disconnected in a fraction of a second.
To Test your power supply cord:
1. Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3
prong outlet.
2. Press RESET
3. Press TEST (listen for click, Reset button
will trip and pop out).
4. Press and release RESET (listen for click;
Reset button will latch and remain in). The
power supply cord is ready for operation.
NOTES:
The reset button must be pushed in for
proper operation.
The power supply cord must be replaced if it
fails to trip when the test button is pressed
or fails to reset.
Do not use the power supply cord as an
off/on switch. The power supply cord is
designed as a protective device.
A damaged power supply cord must be
replaced with a new power supply cord
obtained from the product manufacturer and
must not be repaired.
The power supply cord contains no user
serviceable parts. Opening the tamperresistant case voids all warranty and
performance claims.
