Tips before installation  
Your RoomAir Conditioner unit is designed to  
be highly efficient and save energy. Follow these  
!
!
CAUTION  
To avoid installation/operating difficulties,  
read the instructions thoroughly.  
recommendations for greater efficiency.  
1. Select thermostat setting that suits your  
comfort needs and leave the thermostat at  
that chosen setting.  
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.  
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.  
See lists below.(Fig.A)  
3. Use drapes, curtains, or shades to keep  
direct sunlight from heating your room, but  
DO NOT obstruct the air conditioner.Allow air to  
circulate around the unit without obstructions.

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.

Installation instructions  
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.

can result in personal injury and damage to your  
unit and property. Therefore, it is recommended  
to have someone assist you during the installation  
of this unit.  
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.  
1. Select the Best Location
