1. All wiring must comply with local and national
electrical codes and must be installed by a
licensed electrician. If you have any questions
regarding the following instructions, contact a
licensed electrician.
2. Check available power supply and resolve any
wiring problems BEFORE installing and operating
this unit.
3. For your safety and protection, this unit is
grounded through the power cord when
plugged into a matching wall outlet. If you are
not sure whether your wall outlet is properly
grounded, please consult a licensed
electrician.
4. The wall outlet (3-pin) must match the plug
(3-pin) on the power cord supplied with the unit.
DO NOT use plug adapters or extension cords.
See (Table 1) for receptacle and fuse information.
5. The rating plate on the unit contains electrical
and other technical data. The rating plate is
located on the front of the base pan. Make sure
to use the correct power supply according to the
rating plate of your air conditioner.
If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating
of 115 volts and up to and including 7.5 amps,
the unit maybe on a fuse or circuit breaker
with other devices. However, the maximum
amps on all devices for that fuse or circuit
breaker can not exceed the amps of the fuse
for the circuit breaker.
If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating
of 115 volts and greater than 7.5 amps it
must have its own fuse or circuit breaker,
and no other device or unit should be
operated on the fuse or circuit breaker.
If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating
of 230 volts, it must have its own fuse or
circuit breaker, and no other device or unit

Table 1
Your RoomAir Conditioner unit is designed to
be highly efficient and save energy. Follow these
recommendations for greater efficiency.
1. Select thermostat setting that suits your
comfort needs and leave the thermostat at
that chosen setting.
pr!'
2. The air filter is very efficient in removing airborne
particles. Keep the air filter clean. Typically, the filter
should be cleaned once a month. More
frequent cleaning may be necessary depending
on outdoor and indoor air quality.
3. Use drapes, curtains, or shades to keep direct
sunlight from heating your room, but DO NOT
obstruct the air conditioner. Allow three (3) inches
around unit to circulate.
4. Start your air conditioner before outdoor
air becomes hot/cold and uncomfortable. This
avoids an initial period of discomfort while
the unit is cooling or heating off the room.
5. When outdoor temperature is cool
enough, use HIGH or LOW FAN
only. This circulates indoor air, providing
some cooling comfort, and utilizes less
electricity than when operating on a
cooling setting.
Your RoomAir Conditioner was designed
for easy installation in a single or double-hung
window. NOTE: This unit is NOT designed for
vertical (slider type) windows.
To avoid installation/operating difficulties,
read the instructions thoroughly.
NOTE: Save the shipping carton and packing
materials for future storage or transport of the unit.
Please check the contents of the hardware kit against
the corresponding model check list, prior to
installation of the unit.

1.SelecttheBestLocation
A. Your room air conditioner was designed to
fit easily into a single or double hung window. However,
since window designs vary, it may be necessary to
make some modifications for safe and proper
installation.
E. Be certain the proper electrical outlet is within reach
of the installation. Use only a single outlet circuit rated
at proper current (see table 1 on page 4). All wiring
should be in accordance with local and national
electrical codes.
F. Your unit was designed to evaporate condensation
under normal conditions. However, under extreme
humidity conditions, excess condensation may cause
the basepan to overflow to the outside.
The unit should be installed where condensation
run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighboring
properties.
B. Make sure window and frame is structurally
sound and free from dry and rotted wood.
C. For maximum efficiency, install the air conditioner
on side of the house or building which favors more
shade than sunlight. If the unit is in direct sunlight,
it is advisable to provide an awning over the unit.
D. Provide sufficient clearance around the cabinet
to allow for ample air circulation through the unit.
See (Fig.B). The rear of the unit should be outdoors
and not in a garage nor inside of a building.
Keep unit as far away as possible from obstacles and
obstructions and at least 30" above the floor or
ground. Curtains and other objects within a room
should be prevented from blocking the air flow.

2. Preparation to Remove the
Air Conditioner Slide-Out Chassis
A. Remove total of (4) Philips screws securing
the chassis to the cabinet. There are (2) screws
on each side. The set of screws closest to the
front of the unit secure the front panel to the
cabinet. The set of screw closest to the rear of
the unit secure the cabinet to the chassis.
See (Fig. 1).
B. Remove the front panel assembly from the
cabinet by gently pulling it.
C. Grasp the pull handle at the front of the
slide-out chassis and carefully slide the
air conditioner out of the cabinet, See (Fig. 2).
Please seek assistance for this procedure.
Note: Screws must be reinstalled upon
completion of the window installation to
secure sfide-out chassis,
3. Assembly of the upper & lower channels to
the cabinet
A. " L" Shaped Top Channel: Stick the double
adhering seal to the " L" shaped top channel, and
then Install the "L" shaped top channel to the
cabinet as shown in (Fig. 3) using (5) 1/4" screws.
B. "n" Shaped Bottom Channel installed as shown
in (Fig. 3) using (4) 1/4" screws. On 10K models,
install screws from inside the cabinet.
NOTE: For 18K models, the bottom channel has
been factory-instafled, and their shapes may differ
from the others, but their functions are similar.
4. Assembly of the side shutters
(curtains) to the cabinet.
Slide the shutters into the top and bottom
channels as shown in (Fig. 4). The shutters are
identified (on each frame) as "left" & "right". Attach
the shutters to the cabinet using (4) 1/4" screws
on each side.

5. Installation of Mounting Brackets and
First Sealing Strip
NOTE: Windows come in a variety of different
styles. Therefore, it may be necessary to modify
or improve your particular installation.
A. Attach the bracket assembly to 90°angle support
brackets (Fig. 5) using (2) 1 1/2" bolts
Two bolts per bracket. Secure with the (2)
1/4" lock washers and (2) 1/4"nuts. DO NOT
immediately tighten these bolts as it may be
necessary to adjust the depth of the bracket
assembly, depending on the depth of your window sill.
See (Fig. 7).Install the two leveling screws into the
90°support brackets. Test the bracket assembly in the
window before cabinet installation. If the leveling
screws are distanced too far away from the wall to
provide stability, it may be necessary for you to fill
this area with a solid piece of wood. See (Fig. 8).
B. Measure the inside window sill width and find the
center as shown in (Fig. 6). Align the V-slot in each
bracket on these marks and mount the brackets to the
sill using 3/4" screws provided. Brackets should be
perpendicular to the inside window sill. See (Fig. 6).

C. For proper condensation run-off it will be necessary
to adjust the angle/pitch of the window brackets. This is
accomplished by adjusting the distance of the leveling
screw on the outer wall. The maximum anglelpitch
should not exceed more than 3/16". See (Fig. 7).
D. Cut the seal strip to fit the underside of the bottom
window sash. Remove the peel-off backing on the
seal and attach it to this sash. See (Fig. 9).

6. Installation of the cabinet
A. Align one hole in the bottom of the cabinet with one
hole in the bracket assembly. Secure the cabinet to the
bracket using (3) 1/4" screws provided. Repeat the
same procedure on the opposite side of the cabinet.
See (Fig. 10).
B. Ensure the "L" shaped mounting channel is
positioned in front of the sash. The "U" shaped
bottom channel of the cabinet should be positioned
in the track provided on the bracket assembly. Pull
the window down until it rests just behind the front
of the "L" shaped mounting channel. See (Fig. 11).
C. Check to make sure that the cabinet is slanted
slightly downward on the outside. If necessary,
re-adjust support bracket as shown in (Fig. 7).
7. Secure Shutters
A. Carefully slide the air conditioner back into the
cabinet.(Please seek assistance for this procedure).
B. Reinstall the slide-out-chassis security screws
(removed earlier) on both sides of the cabinet.
See (Fig. 12).
Secure the top of the frames to the window sash with
(2) 3/4" screws.
C. Now, secure bottom frame of shutters using one
shutter clamp and one 3/4" screw on each side(Fig. 12).
8. Reinstalling Front Panel Assembly
A. Position the front panel on the cabinet starting at the
top. The front panel lock tabs must be inserted into the
retaining slots in the cabinet. Repeat this procedure on
all sides.
