IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

For Your Safety
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.

Prevent Accidents
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your air conditioner, follow basic precautions, including the following:

  • Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen. This information can be found on the serial plate, which is located on the side of the cabinet and behind the grille.
  • If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to clean both sides of the glass first. If the window is a triple-track type with a screen panel included, remove the screen completely before installation.
  • Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to the separate installation instructions provided with this manual. Save this manual and the installation instructions for possible future use in removing or reinstalling this unit.
  • When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins on front and rear coils.

Electrical Information
The complete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner is stated on the serial plate. Refer to the rating when checking the electrical requirements.

  • Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire hazards, proper grounding is important.
    The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.

  • Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper receptacle.

  • Do not run air conditioner without outside protective cover in place. This could result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.

  • Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

WARNING

Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug. Do not remove any prong from the power cord.

  • When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power and circuit breaker are turned off.

FOR FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANT

  • Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

  • Do not pierce or burn.

  • Be aware that the refrigerants may not contain an odour.

  • Compliance with national gas regulations shall be observed.

  • Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.

  • The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources (for example: open flames, an operating gas appliance) and ignition sourcesor (for example an operating electric heater) close to the appliance. The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating ignition sources (for example: open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).

  • The appliance shall be stored so as to prevent mechanical damage from occurring.

  • A warning that the appliance shall be stored in a well-ventilated area where the room size corresponds to the room area as specified for operation.

  • Any person who is involved with working on or breaking into a refrigerant circuit should hold a current valid certificate from an industry-accredited assessment authority, which authorizes their competence to handle refrigerants safely in accordance with an industry-recognized assessment specification.

  • Servicing shall only be performed as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Maintenance and repair requiring the assistance of other skilled personnel shall be carried out under the supervision of the person competent in the use of flammable refrigerants.

  • DO NOT modify the length of the power cord or use an extension cord to power the unit.

  • DO NOT share a single outlet with other electrical appliances. Improper power supply can cause fire or electrical shock.

  • Please follow the instruction carefully to handle, install, clear, and service the air conditioner to avoid any damage or hazard. Flammable Refrigerant R32 is used within air conditioner. When maintaining or disposing of the air conditioner, the refrigerant (R32 or R290) shall be recovered properly, shall not discharge to air directly.

  • No any open fire or device-like switch which may generate spark/arcing shall be around air conditioner to avoid causing ignition of the flammable refrigerant used. Please follow the instruction carefully to store or maintain the air conditioner to prevent mechanical damage from occurring.

  • Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.

  • Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also take into account the effects of aging or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.

  • Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the search for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used. The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for all refrigerant systems. Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect refrigerant leaks but, in the case of FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need re-calibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed, and the appropriate percentage of gas
    (25% maximum) is confirmed. Leak detection fluids are also suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work.

  • NOTE Examples of leak detection fluids are

    • bubble method,
    • fluorescent method agents.
    • If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished.
    • If a leakage of refrigerant is found contact local manufacter to replace unit.

ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Now that you have mastered the operating procedure, here are more features in your control that you should become familiar with.

NOTE The “Cool” circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. The fan will continue to run during this time.

CARE AND CLEANING

  • There is a 2-Second delay for the compressor shutting down when selecting FAN ONLY. This is to cover the possibility of having to roll through to select another mode.
  • The control will maintain the set temperature within 2 degrees Fahrenheit, between 60°F and 90°F degrees.
  • After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to the same setting once power is restored.
  • The unit should be operated in a temperature range of indoor side 60°F -90°F (16°C – 32°C), outdoor side 64°F -109°F (18°C – 43°C). Performance may be reduced outside of these operating temperatures.

EXHAUST CONTROL

This Exhaust Control allows the air conditioner to either recirculate inside air (CLOSED) or exhaust air to the outside
(OPEN).
The CLOSED position is used when maximum cooling is desired. It may also be used for air recirculation without cooling when the air conditioner is set in any FAN position.
The OPEN position removes stale air from the room and exhausts it to the outside. Fresh air is drawn in through normal passages in the home.

WAY LOUVERS

The 4-Way air directional louvers allow you to direct the air flow Up or Down and Left or Right throughout the room as needed.

CARE AND CLEANING
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.

Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.

  • Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.
  • Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is thoroughly dry before replacing
  • Or instead of washing, you may vacuum the filter clean.

ENERGY SAVING IDEAS

Cabinet Cleaning

  • Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
  • Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.
  • Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
  • Plug in air conditioner.

Winter Storage
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from the window according to the installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it to the original carton.

NOTE: To prevent rust or electrical connections from being damaged, store air conditioner in an upright position and a dry place.

Energy Saving Ideas

  • Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
  • The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory operation.
  • Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.
  • Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape up the chimney and into the duct work.
  • Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day.
  • Clean the air filter as recommended in the section “Care and Cleaning”.
  • Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm air out and cool air in.
  • External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air conditioner’s work load.
  • Operate heat-producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.
