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.

Before Installing Air Conditioner
This air conditioner has been designed for installation through the
wall in a sleeve. It is the responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have this product installed by a qualified technician
familiar with through-the-wall installation.
OR
If you choose to install the air conditioner yourself, read all
installation instructions, as well as the electrical requirements and
operating instructions, before installing your unit. This will help to
avoid any installation problems and will help ensure trouble-free
performance of your new air conditioner.
Install Air Conditioner in Existing Wall Sleeve
■ Remove existing rear grille and install the new grille that came
with your air conditioner.
NOTE: If the new rear grille is not installed in the existing wall
sleeve, your air conditioner will not operate correctly and the
warranty will be void.
■ Handle air conditioner gently.
■ Be sure your air conditioner does not fall out of the opening
during installation or removal.
■ The place where the power cord exits the air conditioner
should be no more than 4 ft (122 cm) from a grounded outlet.
■ Be sure the wall where the air conditioner will be installed will
support the weight of the unit.
■ Do not install the air conditioner where the plastic cabinet
front will be exposed to a heat source that raises the surface
temperature above 120ºF (49ºC).
■ Do not block the louvers in the front panel.

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
AIR CONDITIONER USE
Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the
best possible results.
This section explains proper air conditioner operation.

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
operate at the previous settings when the power is restored.
■ 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.
