and in conformance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition, and all local codes and
ordinances.
LCDI Power Cord and Plug
This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) power cord and plug as
required by US National Electric Code 440.65. This cord consists of a length of shielded flexible cord with no termination
on the load side and a LCDI attachment plug on the line side.
The LCDI power cord and plug will remove the supply source via electrical disconnect (circuit trip) if the nominal current
leakage between the cord shield and either load conductor exceeds a predetermined value. The cord will remain de-
energized until the devise has been manually reset. This is intended to reduce the risk of a fire in the power cord or
combustible materials nearby. The cord shields are not grounded and they must be considered a shock hazards if
exposed. The cord shield must not be connected to ground or to any exposed metal.
The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if
the plug is functioning properly. To test the plug:
1. Plug power cord into a wall outlet
2. Press the TEST Button, the circuit should trip and cut all
power to the air conditioner
3. Press the RESET button for use
If a test is performed and the indicator light remains ON, the
current leakage has been detected. Do not use the air
conditioner or attempt to reset the LCDI Plug. Contact Customer
Service for troubleshooting recommendations.

INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Some assembly is required for your new air conditioner. Please read and follow these instructions carefully.
1. This air conditioner is designed to be installed in a
FIG. 1
standard double-hung window with a window width
between 23” and 36” (584 mm - 914 mm).
2. The air conditioner can be installed without the
accordion panels to fit in a narrow window opening.
See the window dimensions.
3. The Lower Sash (the lower part of the window that
moves up and down) must allow for 14.5” of vertical
clearance when open. (See FIG. 1).
4. All supporting parts must be secured to firm wood,
masonry, or metal.
5. The electrical outlet must be within reach of the power
cord.
NOTE: Save the product packaging and installation instruc-
tions for future reference. Store the air conditioner in the
product box when not in use for an extended period of time.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION (CONT.)
Storm Window Requirements
Accordion Panel Installation
A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to
tilt properly which in turn will keep it from draining properly.
To adjust for this, attach a board or piece of wood to the
sill. The board or wood piece should have a depth of at
least 1 1/2”. Make sure the board or piece of wood is ap-
proximately 1/2” higher than the storm window frame. This
will allow the air conditioner to tilt enough for proper drain-
age. (See FIG. 2).
Now that you have installed the top rail, you can now install
the accordion panels on each side.
1. Place the air conditioner on a hard flat surface.
2. Locate the accordion panels in the box.
3. Gently pull the free end of the accordion panel (See
FIG. 2). Do this for both panels.

Placing the Unit Inside a Window
1. Place the air conditioner on the sill with the bottom
mounting rail against its back edge. Center the air con-
ditioner and close the window securely behind the top
mounting rail. The air conditioner should be slightly
tilted to the outside area. Use a level; about a 1/3 bub-
ble will be the correct case slant to the outside. (See
FIG. 5 & FIG. 6)
5. Once the accordion panels are slid into place adjust
the top and bottom rails of the accordion panels into
the top and bottom rails of the air conditioner (See FIG.
4).

Operating Your Air Conditioner
USING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER
Manual Control Panel
1. Power: Turn on the unit by rotating the
MODE dial to the desired setting.
2. Cooling Mode: For maximum cooling set the
MODE dial to “HIGH COOL”. In HIGH COOL
mode, the fan will automatically go to high.
This will help circulate the cool air throughout
the room. The fan will operate on low in “LOW
COOL” mode
3. Fan Mode: For fan only modes, choose
either HIGH FAN or LOW FAN. The air
conditioner will not cool the room when in fan
mode.
4. Thermostat: Turn the TEMP dial to set the
desired room temperature. For maximum
cooling turn the TEMP dial to 7 (coolest).
5. Directional Louvers: To direct the airflow,
rotate the small vertical louver wheel next to
the air vent on the front of the air conditioner
LOUVER WHEEL
NOTE: To minimize wear and tear on the air
conditioner, always wait at least 3 minutes before
changing modes. This will help prevent the
compressor from overheating and the circuit
breaker from tripping.
Normal Operating Sounds
•
You may hear a pinging noise caused by water hitting
the condenser, on rainy days, or when the humidity is
high. This design feature helps remove moisture and
improve efficiency.
•
•
You may hear the thermostat click when the compres-
sor cycles on and off.
Water will collect in the base pan during rain or days of
high humidity. The water may overflow and drip from

Cabinet Cleaning
To clean the air conditioner cabinet:
CARE AND CLEANING
Clean your air conditioner to keep it looking new
and to minimize dust build up.
•
Unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or
a fire hazard. The cabinet and front panel of
the air conditioner may be dusted with an oil-
free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in
a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap.
Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth and wipe
dry.
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once
every month to see if it needs cleaning. Trapped
particles and dust can build up in the filter and
may decrease airflow as well as cause the
cooling coils to accumulate frost. To clean the air
filter:
•
•
Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on
the cabinet front.
Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth
before wiping around the controls. Excess
water in or around the controls may cause
damage to the air conditioner.
1. Remove the filter by sliding it out from the
front right side of the air conditioner. (See
FIG. 13)
2. Wash the filter using liquid dish soap and
warm water. Rinse the filter thoroughly. Gen-
tly shake the filter to remove excess water.
Winter Storage
3. Let the filter dry completely before placing it
into the air conditioner.
4. If you do not wish to wash the filter, you may
vacuum the filter to remove the dust and
other particles.
To store the air conditioner when it is not in use
for an extended period of time, remove it care-
fully from the window according to the installation
instructions and cover it with plastic or place it in
the original box.
