HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazards from this appliance.
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.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The air conditioner should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
See the Installation Instructions and Electrical Requirements section for specific electrical connection requirements.

WARNING!
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
RISK OF FIRE. Could cause serious injury or death.

• DO NOT use an extension cord with this Window Air Conditioner.
• DO NOT use surge protectors or multi-outlet adaptors with this Window Air Conditioner.

Cool Mode
Use the Cool mode at Low, Med, High or Auto Fan Speed for cooling. Use the Temperature Increase ▲ / Decrease ▼ pads to set the desired temperature between 64°F and 86°F in 1°F increments.
An electronic thermostat is used to maintain the room temperature. The compressor will cycle on
and off to keep the room at a 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.
NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on while set to a Cool setting or if turned from a fan setting to a Cool setting, it may take approximately 3 minutes for the compressor to start and cooling to begin.

Cooling Descriptions
For Normal Cooling—Select the Cool mode and High or Med fan with a middle set temperature.

Mode off: Automatically turns off at the expiration of given duration or after receiving STOP/CANCEL command from Server.

Fan Only Mode
Use the Fan Only Mode at Low, Med or High fan speed to provide air circulation and filtering without cooling. Since fan-only settings do not provide cooling, a Set temperature cannot be entered. The room temperature will appear
in the display.
NOTE: Auto Fan Speed cannot be used when in the Fan Only Mode.

Auto Fan Speed
Set to Auto fan speed for the fan speed to automatically set to the speed needed to provide optimum comfort settings with the set temperature.
If the room needs more cooling, the fan speed
will automatically increase. If the room needs less cooling, the fan speed will automatically decrease.
NOTE: Auto Fan Speed cannot be used when in the Fan Only Mode.

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:
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.

Outdoor Coils
The coils on the outdoor side of the air conditioner should be checked regularly. If they are clogged with dirt or soot, they may be professionally cleaned.

How to Insert the Batteries in the Remote Control

1. Remove the battery cover by sliding it according to the arrow direction.
2. Insert new batteries, making sure that the (+) and (–) of the battery are installed correctly.
3. Reattach the cover by sliding it back into position.

NOTES:

• Use 2 “AAA” (1.5 volt) alkaline batteries. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control if the system is not going to be used for a long time.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc) batteries.

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 hazards. 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. 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.

Caution:
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not change the plug on the power cord of this air conditioner.
Aluminum house wiring may present special problems—consult a qualified electrician.

PARTS iNCLuDED

WiNDOW REQuiREMENTS

• These instructions are for a standard double-hung window. You will need to modify them for other types of windows.
• The air conditioner can be installed without the accordion panels if needed to fit in a narrow window. See the window opening dimensions.
• All supporting parts must be secured to firm wood, masonry or metal.
• The electrical outlet must be within reach of the power cord.

STORM WiNDOW REQuiREMENTS
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.

WOOD PiECES

• Width: 2”
• 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 1/2” higher than the top of the storm window frame or the vinyl frame.
  Attach securely with nails or screws provided by the installer.

PREPARE THE AiR CONDiTiONER
Hold the accordion panel in one hand and gently pull back to free the open end.

Slide the free end of the accordion panel into the side panel rails. Slide the panel down. Be sure to leave enough space to slip the top and bottom of the frame into the rails on the cabinet.
NOTE: There is a right and a left accordion panel. Be sure to use the proper panel for each side.

Slide the left and right accordion panels into the top and bottom mounting rails.

PREPARE THE WiNDOW
Cut the window sash seal to the proper length. Peel off the backing and attach the seal to the underside of the window sash. iNSTALL THE AiR CONDiTiONER iN
THE WiNDOW
Place the air conditioner on the sill with the bottom mounting rail against its back edge. Center it and close the window securely behind the top mounting rail. It should be level or slightly tilted to the outside. Use a level; about a 1/3 bubble will be the correct case slant to the outside.

Extend the left and right accordion panels to the vertical window sashes and attach 3 screws through the holes in the upper panels, as appropriate.
Install the frame locking brackets between the bottom of the accordion panel and the window sill. Attach with 2 screws. NOTE: To prevent the window sill from splitting, drive the pilot holes before driving the screws.

iNSTALL SuPPORT BRACKET AND fOAM TOP WiNDOW gASKET

CAuTiON:
To prevent broken glass or damage to windows, on vinyl or other similarly constructed windows, attach the window locking bracket to the window side jamb with one screw.

Cut the foam top window gasket to the window width.
Stuff the foam between the glass and the window
to prevent air and insects from getting into the room.
NOTE: If the gasket supplied does not fit your window, obtain the appropriate material locally to provide a proper installation seal.
