Recommended grounding method
This air conditioner must be grounded. This air conditioner is
equipped with a power supply cord having a grounded 3 prong
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, grounded 3 prong outlet, grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet
is not available, it is the customer's responsibility to have a
properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified electrical
installer.
It is the customer's responsibility:
I
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
I
To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 -
latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

Unpack the Air Conditioner
B
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
air conditioner.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
A. Test button
B. Reset button
Remove packaging materials
This room air conditioner is equipped with a power supply cord
required by UL. This power supply cord contains state-of-the-art
electronics that sense leakage current. If the cord is crushed, the
electronics detect leakage current and power will be
disconnected in a fraction of a second.
I
Remove and properly dispose of packaging materials.
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the air conditioner. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap
over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water
and dry.
I
I
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your air conditioner.
WARNING
Handle air conditioner gently.
1. Locate provided bag of pan-head screws.
2. Place the top channel on top of the air conditioner, lining up
the holes in top channel with the holes on top of air
conditioner.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
3. Using 3 - #10 x ³⁄₈" pan-head screws, attach top channel to
air conditioner.

A
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

To test your power supply cord:
1. Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Press RESET.
3. Press TEST (listen for click; Reset button will trip and pop
out).
4. Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will
latch and remain in). The power supply cord is ready for
operation.

The Reset button must be pushed in for proper operation.
I
The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to trip when
the test button is pressed or fails to reset.
I
I
Do not use the power supply cord as an off/on switch. The
power supply cord is designed as a protective device.
A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new
power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer
and must not be repaired.

The power supply cord contains no user serviceable parts.
Opening the tamper-resistant case voids all warranty and
performance claims.

AIR CONDITIONER USE
Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the
best possible results.
I
Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode
when outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C). The inside
evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not
operate properly.
This section explains proper air conditioner operation.
IMPORTANT:
I
If you turn off the air conditioner, wait at least 3 minutes
before turning it back on. This prevents the air conditioner
from blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.
NOTE: In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will
operate at the previous settings when the power is restored.

for your air conditioner properly. Call your local authorized dealer
for an annual checkup. Remember… the cost of this service call
is your responsibility.
4. Replace air filter by sliding filter back into either side of unit.
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean filter helps
remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important
for best cooling and operating efficiency. Check the filter every
2 weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.
Cleaning the Front Panel
1. Turn off air conditioner.

Repairing Paint Damage
Check once or twice a year for paint damage. This is very
important, especially in areas near oceans or where rust is a
problem. If needed, touch up with a good grade enamel paint.

NOTE: To reduce paint damage during the winter, install a heavy-
duty cover over air conditioner cabinet. For information on
ordering a heavy-duty cover, see “Accessories.”
Annual Maintenance
Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help ensure
steady, top performance throughout the year. Call your local
authorized dealer to schedule an annual checkup. The expense
of an annual inspection is your responsibility.

Unplug or relocate appliances that share the same circuit.
WARNING
An extension cord is being used. Do not use an extension
cord with this or any other appliance.
You are trying to restart the air conditioner too soon after
turning the unit off. Wait at least 3 minutes after turning the
unit off before trying to restart the air conditioner.

The power supply cord is unplugged. Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet. See “Electrical Requirements.”
NOTE: A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a
new power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer
and must not be repaired.
Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker of the wrong capacity

The power supply cord has tripped (Reset button has
popped out). Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset
button will latch and remain in) to resume operation.

The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The
use of more efficient components may cause the air
conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total
energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do
not emit the “blast” of cold air you may be accustomed to
from older units, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling
capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and
capacity rating (in BTU/hr.) marked on the air conditioner.
A household fuse has blown, or a circuit breaker has
tripped. Replace the fuse, or reset the circuit breaker. If the
problem continues, call an electrician. See “Electrical
Requirements.”

anywhere in the U.S.A.
Replacement air filters
Heavy-duty cover
A good, clean air filter is important for best cooling with least
energy consumption. Your air filter should be cleaned regularly.
See “Cleaning the Air Filter” for cleaning instructions. We suggest
you replace your air filter once a year.
For a new electrostatic air filter, order Part Number 1187197.
Airborne particles are attracted to an electrostatic air filter and
remain attached to it until they are rinsed away. For a new
antimicrobial air filter, order Part Number 1187389. In addition to
providing all the benefits of an electrostatic air filter, an
antimicrobial air filter also inhibits the growth of odor-causing
bacteria, fungi, mold and mildew on the filter. Both of these air
filters are sized to fit your air conditioner.
If you decide to leave your air conditioner installed during the
winter, a heavy-duty cover will help protect your air conditioner
and reduce drafts. The outdoor cover protects against cold drafts
through the unit's air passages and protects the cabinet from
snow, rain, sleet, rust, and dust.
For a heavy-duty outdoor cover sized to fit your air conditioner,
order Part Number 484069.
For a heavy-duty indoor cover sized to fit your air conditioner,
order Part Number 4392941.
