For Your Safety

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of

this or any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.

Prevent Accidents

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your air
conditioner, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen. This
information can be found on the serial plate, which is located either on the side

of the cabinet or behind the grille.

• If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to
clean both sides of the glass first. If the window is a triple-track type with a
screen panel included, remove the screen completely before installation.

• Besure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to
the separate installation instructions provided with this manual. Savethis manual
and the installation instructions for possible future use in removing or reinstalling

this unit.

• When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins
on front and rear coils.

Electrical Information

The complete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner is stated on the
serial plate. Refer to the rating when checking the electrical requirements.

• Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire

hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a

three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.

• Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If the
wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a
time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper

receptacle.

• Do not run air conditioner with outside protective cover in ptace. This could resuk

in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.

• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

Energy Saving Ideas

• Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or
outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.

• The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and

satisfactory operation.

• Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that
faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.

• Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape

up the chimney and into the duct work.

• Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the
day. (This will also improve the Remote Control operation.)

• Clean the air filter as recommended in the section "Care and Cleaning."

• Proper insulation and water stripping in your home will help keep warm air out
and cool air in.

• External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air
conditioner's work load.

• Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and
dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.

Front Installation

Some models are shipped in a removable sleeve, please follow the supplied
Installation Instruction before installing the Decorative front and accessories.
