Electrical Specifications  
1. All wiring must comply with local and national  
electrical codes and must be installed by a  
qualified electrician. If you have any questions  
regarding the following instructions, contact a  
qualified electrician.  
2. Check available power supply and resolve any  
wiring problems BEFORE installing and  
operating this unit.  
3. This 115V air conditioner uses 10.1 or less  
(depending on model) nameplate amps and may  
be used in any properly wired, general purpose  
household receptacle. See Table 1 for  
specifications for individual branch circuit.  
4. For your safety and protection, this unit is  
grounded through the power cord plug when  
plugged into a matching wall outlet. If  
you are not sure whether your wall outlet is  
properly grounded, please consult a  
qualified electrician.  
5. The wall outlet (3-pin) must match the plug (3-  
pin) on the service cord supplied with the unit.  
DO NOT use plug adapters. See Table 2 for  
receptacle and fuse information. DO NOT USE  
"REGULAR" EXTENSION CORDS WITH THIS  
UNIT. If it is necessary to use an extension cord  
to connect your air conditioner, use an approved  
"air conditioner" extension cord only. (available at  
most local hardware stores)

Energy-Saving Tips  
Your Room Air Conditioner is designed to be  
highly efficient in energy savings.  
Follow these recommendations for greater efficiency.  
4. Start your air conditioner before outdoor air  
becomes hot and uncomfortable. This avoids an  
initial period of discomfort while unit is cooling  
off the room.  
1. Select thermostat setting that suits your  
comfort needs and leave thermostat at that  
chosen setting.  
2. The filter is very efficient in removing airborne  
particles. Keep air filter clean. Normally, filter  
should be cleaned every 2 weeks. More  
frequent cleaning may be necessary depending  
on indoor air quality.  
5. When outdoor temperatures are cool enough,  
use HIGH or LOW FAN only. This circulates  
indoor air, providing some cooling comfort, and  
utilizes less electricity than when operating on a  
cooling setting.  
3. Use drapes, curtains, or shades to keep  
direct sunlight from heating room, but DO NOT  
obstruct the air conditioner. Allow air to circulate  
around the unit without obstruction.

unit is NOT designed for vertical (slider type)  
windows and/or through-the-wall applications.  
Fig. 1  
NOTE: Save the shipping carton and packing  
materials for future storage or transport of the unit.  
Remove from carton, the plastic bag containing the  
installation hardware kit necessary for the installation  
of your air conditioner. Please check the contents of  
hardware kit against the corresponding model check  
list, prior to installation of the unit. See Fig. 1

CAUTION  
Your unit is designed to evaporate condensation  
under normal conditions. However, under  
extreme humidity conditions, excess condensation  
may cause basepan to overflow to the outside.  
The Unit should be installed where condensation  
run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighboring  
properties.  
Because the compressor is located towards the  
rear of the unit, this side will be heavier and more  
awkward to manipulate. Therefore, it is  
recommended to have someone assist you  
during the installation of this unit.

D. Provide sufficient clearance around the cabinet to  
allow for ample air circulation through the unit.  
See Fig. 2. The rear of the unit should be  
outdoors and not in a garage nor inside a  
building. Keep unit as far away as possible from  
obstacles/obstructions and at least 30" (76.2 cm)  
above the floor or ground. Curtains and other  
objects within a room should be prevented from  
blocking the air flow.  
E. Be certain the proper electrical outlet is within  
reach of the installation. Use only a single  
outlet circuit rated at 15 amps. All wiring should  
be in accordance with local and national  
electrical codes.  
F. DO NOT USE "REGULAR" EXTENSION CORDS  
WITH THIS UNIT. If it is necessary to use an  
extension cord to connect your air conditioner,  
use an approved "air conditioner" extension cord  
only. (available at most local hardware stores)  
G. DO NOT install unit where leakage of combustible  
gas is suspected. Your air conditioner may fail to  
operate in air containing oils (including machine  
oils), sulfide gas, near hot springs, etc...

Care and Maintenance  
End-of-Season Care  
1. Operate the fan alone for half a day to dry out the  
inside of the unit.  
When cleaning the air conditioner, be sure to  
turn the POWER OFF and disconnect the power  
cord from the electrical outlet.  
2. Turn off power and remove plug from wall socket.  
3. Clean filter.  
1. DO NOT use gasoline, benzine, thinner or other  
chemicals on the air conditioner as these  
substances may cause damage to the paint finish  
and deformation of plastic parts.  
4. Store (covered) air conditioner in a dry location.  
2. Never attempt to pour water directly on unit as  
this will cause deterioration of the electrical  
insulation.  
CAUTION  
When installing and/or removing the air  
conditionner from the window, ensure that  
caution is taken to prevent the unit from falling  
backward. It is recommended that installtion  
or removal of the airconditioner is done with  
assitance to prevent injury to persons or  
damage to the unit or property.  
Air Filter Removal:  
The air filter is located behind the air intake front  
grill. To remove the air filter, grasp the sides of the  
front grill and pull forward to open and access the  
filter.  
To reinstall the air filter, reverse the above  
procedures. The air filter may be vacuumed or  
washed by-hand in warm water. Dry thoroughly  
before installing.  
Cleaning Air Filter  
1. Use a vacuum cleaner with soft brush  
attachment.  
2. Wash the filter in lukewarm water below 40°C  
(104°F): To get better results, wash with soapy  
water or a neutral cleaning agent.  
3. Rinse the filter with clean water and  
dry thoroughly before re-installing.  
IMPORTANT  
DO NOT forget to install the air filter. If the air  
conditioner is left to operate without the air filter,  
dust is not removed from the room air and may  
result in machine failure.  
When the air inlet grill and cabinet are dirty, wipe  
with lukewarm water (below 40°C / 104°F). Use of  
a mild detergent is recommended.

No power to unit.  
Check connection of power cord to  
power source.  
Check fuse or circuit breaker.  
Inefficient or no cooling.  
Dirty air filter.  
Clean or replace air filter.  
Unit size inappropriate  
for application.  
Check with dealer to determine proper unit  
capacity for application.  
Blocked air flow.  
Remove obstruction from grill or  
outdoor louvers.  
Power interruption, settings  
changed too quickly, or  
Turn the unit off and wait 5 minutes before  
attempting to re-start.  
compressor overload tripped.  
Noisy unit.  
Odors.  
Loose parts.  
Tighten loose parts.  
Inadequate support.  
Provide additional support to unit.  
Formation of mold, mildew, or  
algae on wet surfaces.  
Clean unit thoroughly.  
Place algaecide tablet in base pan.  
Water dripping outside.  
Water dripping inside.  
Hot and humid weather.  
Condensation run-off is normal under these  
conditions.  
Unit is not properly angled to  
allow water to drain outside.  
Unit must be installed on an angle for proper  
condensation run-off. Check the unit and  
make any adjustments.  
Ice or frost build-up.  
Low outside temperature.  
Unit air filter is dirty.  
When outdoor temperature is approximately  
65°F or below, frost may form when unit is in  
cooling mode. Switch unit to FAN (only)  
operation until frost melts.
