BEFORE YOU USE YOUR
AIR CONDITIONER
It is your responsibility to make
sure that your air conditioner:
l
Has been properly installed.
l
Is the right size for the area you want
to cool.
l
Is properly connected to electricity.
l
Is properly electrically grounded.
l
Is properly used only for the job it was
intended to do.
l
Is not used by children or anyone not
able to operate it properly.
l
Is properly maintained.
l
Also, remove energy label and buy guide.
Use damp cloth to take off any glue
residue. Do not use a sharp instrument
or any harsh or abrasive cleaners.
Energy Saving Tips
l
Improve home insulation (seal doors,
windows, and close fireplace flue).
l
Close blinds or drapes on sunny side of
house; add window awnings.
l
Keep air filter clean. Don’t block air flow
with drapes or furniture.
l
Ventilate attic (high temperature levels
add to normal cooling load).
l
Try not to use heat producing appliances
during the hottest part of the day. Turn
lights,
radios, televisions,
and
other
appliances off when not needed.
l
Keep heat registers and cool air returns
closed or blocked off so cooled air won’t
escape.
l
Use a vent fan in areas where cooking,
laundry, or bathing is done to pull out
extra heat and moisture near its source.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Your Air Conditioner
Unpack the accessory parts that came with your air conditioner to determine
which window installation instruction you should follow.
If you have these parts,
follow:

If you have
these parts,
follow:
INSTRUCTION

(on page 8).
CAUTION:
l
Be sure air conditioner does not fall out of
window during installation.
l
Handle the air conditioner with care.
Watch out for the sharp metal fins on
the front and rear coils.
l
Do not use the collected water for drinking
purposes. It is not sanitary.
-OR-
For
through-the-wal I
installation, follow:
INSTRUCTION 3
(on page 11).
This installation method for slid-out chassis
model only.
1
l Unpack accessory parts
(see Figure 5) before
installing your air conditioner. A normal
installation can be made with a screwdriver,
small level, pocket knife, tape measure and a
drill with 3/32” drill
bit.
Am Pick the right window.
First, decide what
room(s) you want to cool. Then choose a
window that will allow the air-conditioned air
to flow freely and directly into the room(s)
you want cooled. Remember, it’s difficult to
move air around corners. Choose a window
that’s also near an electrical outlet. (Refer
to the ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT pages
for type of receptacle and wiring needed.)
Do
not use an extension cord.
The window in
which you place your air conditioner should
have an opening of at least 25 inches in width
and at least 16 inches in height (see Figure 6).
Standard installation parts are supplied for
double-hung sash windows up to 38 inches in
width.
