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 qualified electrical
installer.

AIR CONDITIONER CARE
Your new air conditioner is designed to give you many years of
dependable service. This section tells you how to clean and care
for your air conditioner properly. Call your local authorized dealer
for an annual checkup. Remember … the cost of this service call
is your responsibility.
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean filter helps
remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important
for best cooling and operating efficiency. Check the filter every
2 weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.
NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the filter in
place.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Remove the air filter by pressing down on the tabs on the air
intake grille and pulling the grille away from the air
conditioner.

NOTE: Do not wash the air filter in the dishwasher or use any
chemical cleaners. Air dry the air filter completely before
replacing to ensure maximum efficiency.
5. Reattach the air filter to the air intake grille.
6. Insert the air intake grille into the slots on the air conditioner
and snap into place.
Cleaning the Front Panel
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Clean the front panel with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Air dry the front panel completely.
Repairing Paint Damage
Check once or twice a year for paint damage. This is very
important, especially in areas near oceans or where rust is a
problem. If needed, touch up with a good grade enamel paint.
Annual Maintenance
Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help ensure
steady, top performance throughout the year. Call your local
authorized dealer to schedule an annual checkup. The expense
of an annual inspection is your responsibility.

Air conditioner seems to run too much
■ The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The
use of more efficient components may cause the air
conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total
energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do
not emit the “blast” of cold air you may be accustomed to
from older air conditioners, but this is not an indication of
lesser cooling capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency
rating (EER) and capacity rating (in Btu/h) marked on the air
conditioner.
■ The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heat-
producing appliances are in use in the room. Use exhaust
vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heatproducing appliances during the hottest part of the day. A
higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending
on the size of the room being cooled.
Air conditioner cycles on and off too much or does not
cool room in cooling mode
■ The air conditioner is not properly sized for your room.
Check the cooling capabilities of your window air conditioner.
Window air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple
rooms.
■ The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris. Clean the filter.
■ The inside evaporator and outside condenser coils are
dirty or obstructed by debris. See “Annual Maintenance.”
■ There is excessive heat or moisture (open container
cooking, showers, etc.) in the room. Use a fan to exhaust
heat or moisture from the room. Try not to use
heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.
■ The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a
location where the louvers are free from curtains, blinds,
furniture, etc.
■ The outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C). Do not try to
operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode when the
outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C).
■ The temperature of the room you are trying to cool is
extremely hot. Allow extra time for the air conditioner to cool
off a very hot room.
■ Windows or doors to the outside are open. Close all
windows and doors.
■ The temperature setting is not set to a cool enough
setting. Adjust the temperature to a cooler setting by
pressing the minus button to reduce the temperature. Set the
Fan Speed control to the highest setting.
Water drips from cabinet into your house
■ The air conditioner is not properly leveled. The air
conditioner should slope slightly downward toward the
outside. Level the air conditioner to provide a downward
slope toward the outside to ensure proper drainage. See the
Installation Instructions.
NOTE: Do not drill a hole into the bottom of the metal base
and condensate pan.
Normal Sounds
When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear
sounds such as:
■ Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a pinging or
clicking sound. The water droplets help cool the condenser.
■ Air movement from the fan.
