Recommended Grounding Method
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 qualied
electrical installer. It is the customer’s responsibility:
■ To contact a qualied 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.

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,
�re, or electrical shock.
To test your power supply cord:
1. Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Pressing TEST (listen for click) button will trip and cut all
power to air conditioner.
3. Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will
latch). The power supply cord is ready for operation.
NOTES:
■ The Reset button must be pushed in for proper operation.
■ The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to trip when
the test button is pressed or fails to reset.
■ Do not use the power supply cord as an off/on switch. The
power supply cord is designed as a protective device.
■ A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new
power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer
and must not be repaired.
■ The power supply cord contains no user-serviceable parts.
Opening the tamper-resistant case voids all warranty and
performance claims.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Air Conditioner for Installation
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
air conditioner.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
1.Unpack the Air Conditioner
■ Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, ammable
uids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your air conditioner.
■ Remove any packaging materials inserted into the side
louvers.

2.Install top channel
Remove Packaging Materials:
■ Handle the air conditioner gently while unpacking the unit.
■ Cut the 4 plastic bands that secure the carton.
■ Remove the carton top and lift the air conditioner from the
base pad.
■ Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the air conditioner. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap
over the adhesive with your ngers. Wipe with a damp cloth
and dry.
1. Place the top channel on the top of the air conditioner, lining
up the holes in the top channel with the holes in the top of the
air conditioner.
2. Using four 3⁄8" screws, attach the top channel to the air
conditioner.

Prepare Window with Storm Window
WARNING
or Other Obstruction
Follow the steps in “Prepare Window Opening”. If possible,
remove the storm window frame or other obstruction.
If the storm window frame or obstruction CANNOT be removed,
a wood spacer will be required to ensure that the air conditioner
slopes to the outside. This will allow condensation and rainwater
to drain away.

IMPORTANT:
■ 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 6 ft (183 cm) from a grounded outlet .
■ To maximize cooling efciency and air circulation, do not
block the air intake or discharge louvers in the front panel.
■ To reduce cycling on and off of the compressor and reduce
the risk of freezing up or damage to the unit, do not block the
louvers on the outside of the air conditioner.

USING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER
Thermostat
The thermostat will automatically control room
temperature by cycling the compressor on and off.
The fan will continue to run.
■ Turn to 6 (coolest) for cooler room temperatures.
■ Turn to 1 (cool) for warmer room temperatures.
■ A middle setting with the knob turned to 5 is
normal for average conditions.
Changing Air Direction
Use tab to adjust air direction
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 Cool mode
when outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C). The inside
evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not
operate properly.
NOTE: In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will
operate at the previous settings when the power is restored.
Operation
Turn the Operation knob to the desired operating
mode.
■ Power—Turn on air conditioner by turning mode
dial to the desired setting.
■ Cool Low ( )—Cools with the fan at low speed.
■ Cool High ( )—Cools with the fan at high
speed. Use this setting for maximum cooling.
■ Fan Low ( )—The fan runs at low speed without cooling.
■ Fan High ( )—The fan runs at high speed without cooling.
■ Off—Turns the air conditioner off.
Use the lever on the vent louvers to adjust the air direction left or
right.
Normal Operating 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.
■ Clicks from the thermostat cycle.
■ Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window construction.
■ A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the modern
high-efciency compressor cycling on and off.

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.
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air lter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean lter helps
remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important
for best cooling and operating efciency. Check the lter every
2 weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.
NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the lter
in place. Cooling performance will be effected when the coil
becomes dirty.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air lter. If the air lter is very dirty,
wash it in warm water with a mild detergent and rinse well.
NOTE: Do not wash the air lter in the dishwasher or use any
chemical cleaners; it may damage the lter. Air dry the air lter
completely before replacing to ensure maximum efciency.
Air Filter Removal
Remove the air filter
Cleaning the Front Panel
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Wipe the front panel with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Air dry the front panel completely.
Remove the lter by grasping the tab on the lter and pulling it
out of the grille to the side.
Reinstalling the air filter:
Slide the lter back into the grille.

Moisture removed from the air is

The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The use of
more efcient 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 efciency.
Refer to the efciency rating (EER) and capacity rating (in BTU/h)
marked on the air conditioner.
The air conditioner is in a heavily occupied room, or heatproducing appliances are in use in the room. Use exhaust vent
fans while cooking or bathing and try not to use heat-producing
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.

thaw before using.
For proper water drainage, make sure the air conditioner is
slightly tilted downward toward the outside.
NOTE: Do not drill a hole into the bottom of the metal base and
condensate pan; doing so will reduce cooling performance.
This is normal for a short period in areas with low humidity and
normal for a longer period in areas with high humidity.
