Power Supply Cord—All Models

WARNING

Tools Required—All Models

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.

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.

NOTE: Your air conditioner’s power supply cord may differ from
those shown.

This air conditioner is equipped with a power supply cord
required by UL. This power supply cord contains state-of-the-art
electronics that sense leakage current. If the cord is crushed,
the electronics detect leakage current and power will be
disconnected in a fraction of a second.

To test your power supply cord:

1. Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2. Press RESET (on some models, a green light will turn on).

3. Press TEST (listen for click; Reset button will trip, and on

some devices, a green light will turn off).

4. Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will

latch, and on some devices, a green light will turn on).
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.

Center line

Measure the width of the window opening (A). Mark the center
line (B) of the window on the inside windowsill.

2. Attach upper foam seal

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. Make sure that drain holes or slots are not caulked
or painted shut.
