Care and cleaning of the air conditioner.  
Grille and Case  
Turn the air conditioner off and remove the plug from the wall  
outlet before cleaning.  
To clean, use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or  
abrasives.  
Air Filter  
The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned  
at least every 30 days or more often if necessary.  
To remove:  
Pull the tab on the right side of the unit until the filter is out.  
To remove:  
Open the inlet grille by pulling downward on the tabs at the top  
upper corners of the inlet grille until the grille is in a 45º position.  
Remove the filter.  
Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry  
before replacing it. Do not clean the filter in a dishwasher.  
CAUTION:  
DO NOT operate the air conditioner without  
a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS  
Some models require a 115/120-volt AC,  
60-Hz grounded outlet protected with a  
15-amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.  
The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the  
possibility of electric shock hazard. If the wall outlet  
you plan to use is only a 2-prong outlet, it is your  
responsibility to have it replaced with a properly  
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.  
Scissors or knife  
Power cord includes 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 while plugged into the outlet. 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.  
Some models require 230/208-volt AC,  
protected with a time-delay fuse or circuit  
breaker. These models should be installed  
on their own single branch circuit for best  
performance and to prevent overloading  
house or apartment wiring circuits, which  
could cause a possible fire hazard from  
overheating wires.

Top mounting rail  
A storm window frame will not allow the air  
conditioner to tilt toward the outside, and will keep it  
from draining properly.  
To adjust for this, attach a piece of wood to the sill.

WIDTH: 2s  
LENGTH: Long enough to fit inside the window  
frame.  
THICKNESS: To determine the thickness, place a  
piece of wood on the sill to make it 1/2s higher  
than the top of the storm window frame or the vinyl  
frame.

Troubleshooting Tips.  
Problem  
Possible Causes  
What To Do  
Air conditioner  
does not start  
The air conditioner  
is unplugged.  
Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed  
completely into the outlet.  
The fuse is blown/circuit  
breaker is tripped.  
Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace  
the fuse or reset the breaker.  
Power failure.  
The unit will automatically restart in the settings last  
used after the power is restored.  
There is a protective time delay (approximately  
3 minutes) to prevent tripping of the compressor  
overload. For this reason, the unit may not start  
normal cooling for 3 minutes after it is turned  
back on.  
The current interrupter  
device is tripped.  
Press the RESET button located on the power cord plug.  
If the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue  
use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified  
service technician.  
Air conditioner does  
not cool as it should  
Airflow is restricted.  
Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture  
blocking the front of the air conditioner.  
The temp control may  
not be set correctly.  
On models with touch pads: In the Cool mode, press the  
Decrease pad.  
• On models with control knobs, turn the temperature  
knob to a higher number.  
The air filter is dirty.  
Clean the filter at least every 30 days.  
See the Care and Cleaning section.  
The room may have been hot.  
When the air conditioner is first turned on, you need  
to allow time for the room to cool down.  
Cold air is escaping.  
Check for open furnace registers and cold air returns.  
Cooling coils have iced up.  
See “Air conditioner freezing up” below.  
Air conditioner  
freezing up  
Ice blocks the air flow  
and stops the air conditioner  
from cooling the room.  
On models with control knobs, set the mode control at  
High Fan or High Cool with the Temp at 1 or 2.  
• On models with touch pads, set the controls at High Fan  
or High Cool and set the thermostat to a higher  
temperature.  
The remote control  
is not working  
The batteries are inserted  
incorrectly.  
Check the position of the batteries. They should be  
inserted in the opposite (+) and (–) direction.  
The batteries may be dead.  
Hot, humid weather.  
Replace the batteries.  
Water drips outside  
Water drips indoors  
This is normal.  
The air conditioner is not  
tilted to the outside.  
For proper water disposal, make sure the air conditioner  
slants slightly from the case front to the rear.
