The location should provide:

■ A horizontal sliding or casement type window with a minimum

width of 15¹⁄₂ in. (39.4 cm).

■ Grounded electrical outlet within 4 ft (122 cm) of where the

power cord exits the air conditioner. NOTE: Do not use an extension cord.

■ Free movement of air to rooms to be cooled.

■ Adequate window frame assembly and side of structure

support for weight of air conditioner. Air conditioner weighs approximately 82 lbs (37.2 kg) to 100 lbs (45 kg).

Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure air conditioner is grounded.

A three-wire, single-phase, 60-Hz, AC-only, electrical supply is required on a separate circuit. A 15-amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is required. Copper wire (14 gauge) is required.

The fuse size must not exceed the circuit rating specified on the model and serial number label. The model and serial number label is located on the right-hand side of the cabinet.

Specific electrical requirements are listed in the chart. Follow the requirements for the type of plug on the power supply cord.

Recommended ground method

For your personal safety, 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 codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the customer's responsibility to have a properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a licensed 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.

4. Install speed clips on top and bottom inside edge of window

to provide locking.

Closed or stationary window

Install unit in stationary sash to avoid crank handles or window latches. If unit is to be installed in or next to a movable sash, it may be necessary to remove catch, handle or both.

■ Remove crank handle and secure window in closed position.

Remove glass panes and separating strips to a height sufficient to mount air conditioner.

secure, or remove completely where possible.

Wood casement window installation

1. Construct a frame, using at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) thick wood

panel with a 15¹⁄₂ in. (39.4 cm) wide opening.

2. Paint frame and fasten it securely, sealing it into window

opening.

If window opening width is greater than 15¹⁄₂ in. (39.4 cm):

1. Measure from side of window opening 15¹⁄₂ in. (39.4 cm).

From this point, measure to opposite side of window opening to find width of filler panel. Measure height of window. Cut a ³⁄₄ in. (19 mm) thick wood filler panel this width and the full height of the window opening.

2. Attach securely to side of opening.

AIR CONDITIONER USE

Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the best possible results.

This section explains proper air conditioner operation. IMPORTANT:

■ If you turn off the air conditioner, wait at least 3 minutes

before turning it back on. This prevents the air conditioner from blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.

■ Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode

when outside temperature is below 66°F (19°C). The inside evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not operate properly.

NOTES:

■ In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will not

automatically turn back on.

■ If the electronic control will not respond to touch pad or

remote control commands, it is necessary to unplug the unit from the electrical outlet for 5 seconds before plugging back in.
