use of an extension cord.  
However, if you must use an extension cord,  
it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed,

one hand while pulling the power cord plug  
with the other hand. If this is not done, the  
adapter ground terminal is very likely to break  
with repeated use.  
However, if you must use an adapter, where  
local codes permit, a temporary connection may  
be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall  
outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at  
most local hardware stores.  
If the adapter ground terminal breaks,  
DO NOT USE the air conditioner until a  
proper ground has been established.  
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned  
with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide  
proper polarity in the connection of the power  
cord.  
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet  
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the  
cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall  
outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should  
have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to  
make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

A thermostat is used to maintain the room  
temperature. The compressor will cycle on and off  
to keep the room at the set level of comfort. Set the  
thermostat at a lower number and the indoor air  
will become cooler. Set the thermostat at a higher  
number and the indoor air will become warmer.  
For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling–Select the COOL  
mode and LOW fan with a middle set temperature.  
NOTE: If you switch from a COOL setting to OFF or to a  
fan setting, wait at least 3 minutes before switching  
back to a COOL setting.  
NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on  
while set to COOL, it will take approximately 3 minutes  
for the compressor to start and cooling to begin.

Use the FAN at HIGH, MED, or LOW to provide air  
circulation and filtering without cooling. Since fan

Preparing to install the air conditioner.  
Read these instructions completely and carefully.  
Before You Begin  
NOTE TO INSTALLER: Leave these instructions with  
CAUTION:  
the air conditioner after installation is completed.  
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or  
remove the third (ground) prong from the  
power cord.  
NOTE TO CONSUMER: Keep this Owner’s Manual  
and Installation Instructions for future use.  
OpeagIructions  
Do not change the plug on the power cord  
of this air conditioner.  
IMPORTANT NOTES:  
For personal safety, this air conditioner must be  
properly grounded.  
Aluminum house wiring may present  
special problems—consult a qualified  
electrician.  
It is important to have the wall outlet and circuit  
checked by a qualified electrician if there is any  
doubt as to whether a proper ground exists.  
Follow National Electric Codes (NEC) and/or local  
codes and ordinances.  
laIructions  
Electrical Requirements  
Some models require 115/120-volt a.c.,  
60 Hz grounded outlet protected with  
a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.  
Some models require 230/208-volt a.c.,  
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.  
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.

Troubleshooting Tips: Save time and money! Review the chart below first and you may not need to call for service.  
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.  
SafeyIructions  
Power failure.  
If power failure occurs, turn the air conditioner OFF.  
When power is restored, wait 3 minutes to restart the  
air conditioner to prevent tripping of the compressor  
overload.  
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 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 Operating Instructions section.  
OpeagIructions  
The room may have been hot.  
Cold air is escaping.  
When the air conditioner is first turned on you need to  
allow time for the room to cool down.  
Check for open furnace floor registers and cold  
air returns.  
Set the air conditioner’s vent to the closed position.  
See “Air conditioner freezing up” below.  
Cooling coils have iced up.  
Air conditioner

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.  
laIructions  
The remote control is

The batteries are inserted  
incorrectly.  
Check the position of the batteries. They should be  
inserted in the opposite (+) and (–) direction.  
ips  
The batteries may be dead.  
Replace the batteries.  
This is normal.  
Water drips outside  
Water drips indoors  
Excessively hot and  
humid weather.  
The air conditioner is not

Moisture is removed from  
indoor air and drains into  
rear of a cabinet where a fan  
blows it against the outdoor  
condenser coil.
