To assure that the electrical installation is adequate
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.

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.

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
