BeforetoOperation

1. Plug in the power cord properly.

2. Use a dedicated circuit. Overloading the line could create a fire hazard.

3. Do not use an extension cord. See page 10 for more details.

4. Do not start/stop operation by plugging/unplugging the power cord.

5. If the power cord is damaged and requires replacement, have an Authorized Servicer install an exact replacement part.

1. Being exposed to direct airflow for an extended period of time could be

hazardous to your health. Do not expose occupants, pets, or plants to direct

airflow for extended periods of time.

2. Due to the possibility of oxygen deficiency, ventilate the room when used together with stoves or other heating devices.

3. Do not use this air conditioner for non-specified special purposes (e.g.

preserving precision devices, food, pets, plants, and art objects). Such usage

could damage the items.

4. The air conditioner is a consumer comfort appliance, not a precision climate control system.

1. Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can occur when handling sharp metal edges.

2. Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner. Exposure to water can destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock.

3. When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power and breaker are turned off. The fan rotates at a very high speed during operation. There is a

possibility of injury if the unit's power is accidentally triggered on while

cleaning inner parts of the unit.

For repair and maintenance, contact an Authorized Service Center. See the

warranty page for details or call (800) 243-0000. Have your model number and

serial number available. They should be written on page 2 of this manual.

ElectricalSafety

Power cord may include a current interrupter device. A test and reset button is

provided on the plug case. The device should be tested on a periodic basis by first pressing the TEST button and then the RESET button. If the TEST button does not trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician.

Damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord obtained from the product manufacture and not repaired.

WARNING: This appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug. To minimize the risk of electric shock, use the plug with a standard three-slot grounding wall power outlet. If the power outlet does not include a grounding slot, have a qualified electrician replace the outlet before you use the room air

conditioner.

WARNING: Changing the outlet without making the appropriate wiring changes will create an unsafe condition that could result in fire or electrical shock. Refer all such work to a licensed and qualified

electrician.

Preferred method

TEST--_

RESET-- Ensure proper ground

exists before use

WARNING: Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the power

plug.

WARNING: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall

receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.

,_ WARNING: If you have any doubt whether the air conditioner is

properly grounded, have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician.

Owner's Manual 9

Electrical Safety

We strongly discourage the use of an adapter due to potential safety hazards.

For temporary connections, use only a UL-listed adapter, available from most local hardware stores. Ensure that the large slot in the adapter is aligned with

the large slot in the receptacle for a proper polarity connection. To disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on each to avoid

damaging the ground terminal. Avoid frequently unplugging the power cord as this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage.

WARNING: Never use the appliance with a broken adapter.

We strongly discourage the use of an extension cord due to potential safety

hazards. For temporary situations, use only CSA certified and UL listed 3-wire

grounded extension cords, rated 15 A, 125 V.

Installation

Clearance

Proper clearance enhances the cooling efficiency of the unit and prevents heat radiation of the condenser.

1. If a storm window presents interference, fasten a 2" wide wood strip to the inner window sill across the full width of the sill. The wood strip should be thick enough to raise the height of the window sill so that the unit can be installed without interference by the storm window frame.

2. See Figure. B.The top of the wood strip should be approximately 3/4"higher than the storm window frame (Storm Window Frame) or wood strip (Outdoors) to help condensation to drain properly to the outside.

3. Install a second wood strip (approximately 6" long by 11/2"wide and same thickness as first strip) in the center of the sill flush against the back off the

inner sill. This will raise the L bracket as shown Figure. B.

4. If the distance between Storm Window Frame and Wood Strip Mounted on Top of Inner Sill is more than 1", two of wood strips are not necessary.
