Please read this use and care guide before installing or using your air conditioner.

It tells you how to install and operate it,

and gives important electrical informa tion. Save it for future use in case you may have a question or move the air conditioner.

Copy your Model and Serial Numbers here...

When you need service or call with a question, have this information ready:

1. Complete Model and Serial Numbers. To

find Model and Serial Numbers remove the front panel (see page 9). The numbers are

located on a label attached to the evaporator

BEFORE YOU USE YOUR AIR CONDITIONER

It is your responsibility to make sure that your air con^tioner:

• Has been properly installed.

• Is the right size for the area you want

to cool.

• Is properly connected to electricity.

• Is properly electrically grounded.

• Is properly used only for the job it was

intended to do.

• Is not used by children or anyone not

able to operate it properly.

• Is properly maintained.

• 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

Improve home insulation (seal doors,

windows, and close fireplace flue). Close blinds or drapes on sunny side of

house; add window awnings. Keep air filter clean. Don't block air flow

with drapes or furniture. Ventilate attic (high temperature levels

add to normal cooling load). 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.

Keep heat registers and cool air returns

closed or blocked off so cooled air won't escape.

Use a vent fan in areas where cooking, laundry, or bathing is done to pull out

extra heat and moisture near its source.

RECEPTACLE WIRING

RECEPTACLE WIRING should be at least as

large as 14 gauge. Use copper wire only. It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to provide proper and adequate receptacle wiring installed by a qualified electri

cian. OBSERVE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL

CODE AND ALL LOCAL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES.

Electrical Requirements

A 115 volt (103.5 min., 126.5 max.) 60 hertz AC only, 15 ampere fused electrical supply is re quired (time delay fuse or time delay circuit breaker required.). It is recommended that a

separate circuit, serving oniy this appliance, be

provided. Do not use and extension cord.

Electrical Connection

Electrical Ground is Required on this Appliance RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

For your personal safety, this appliance must be

grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle

installed by a qualified electrician. See Figure 1 on page 4.

ALTERNATE GROUNDING METHOD

If changing and properly grounding the wall receptacle is impossible and where local codes permit (consult your electrical inspector), a temporary adapter may be plugged into the existing 2-prong wall receptacle to mate with the 3-prong power supply cord. See Figure 2. THIS,

HOWEVER, IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

If this is done, you must connect the grounded eyelet on the adapter to the wall receptacle cover plate screw and from this same screw, you

must connect a separate copper ground wire

(#14 minimum) to a grounded cold water pipe.* See Figure 2. Do not ground to a gas supply

pipe. Do not connect to electrical supply until

appliance is permanently grounded.

For 230 volt and 230/208 volt models with serial plate amperes up through 12.0

Refer to Chart B for specific wiring and recep tacle information to be used.

OBSERVE ALL LOCAL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES.

Do not, under any circumstances, remove the power supply cord ground plug.

ELECTRICAL GROUND

IS REQUIRED ON

THIS APPLIANCE. A three-wire, single-phase 60 hertz AC only

electrical supply is required. A separate electrical supply is required on a

separately fused circuit. Do not fuse groundneutral.

See Chart B for receptacle voltage requirements,

proper fuse size, wire and wiring connections

which must conform with rating of the appliance.

Do not use an extension cord.
