Power Supply Cord
Recommended Ground Method
For your personal safety, this air conditioner must be grounded. This air
conditioner is equipped with a 3 prong power supply cord with a grounded plug.
To minimize the possibility of electrical shock, the cord must be plugged into
a 3 prong outlet and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. If a 3 prong outlet is not available, it is the cus- tomer’s
responsibility to have a properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
It is the customer’s responsibility:
- To contact a qualified electrician
- To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 – latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:
- National Fire Protection Association
- One Battervmarch Park
- Quincy, Massachusetts 02269
LCDI Power Cord and Plug
This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and
Interruption) power cord that is required by UL. This power supply cord
contains state-of-the-art electronics that sense leakage current. If the cord
is damaged and leakage occurs, power will be disconnected from the unit.
The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if the plug is
functioning properly. To test the plug:
- Plug power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet
- Press RESET (on some units a green light will turn on).
- Press the TEST Button, the circuit should trip and cut all power to the air conditioner (on some units a green light may turn off.
- Press the RESET button for use. You will hear a click and the A/C is not ready for use.
NOTES:
- The RESET button must be engaged for proper use.
- The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to trip when the TEST button is pressed and the unit fails to reset.
- Do not use the power supply cord as an ON/OFF switch. The power supply cord is designed as a protection device.
- A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord.
- The power supply cord contains new user serviceable parts. Opening the tamper-resistant case voids all warranty and performance claims.
NOTE: Your units power cord and plug may differ from the one shown.

- The lower sash ( the lower part of the window that moves up and down) must allow for vertical clearance when open.
- All supporting parts must be secured to firm wood, masonry, or metal.
- The electrical outlet must be within reach of the power cord.
TOOLS NEEDED:
- Phillips Screw Driver
- Drill (If pilot holes are needed)
CAUTION
When handling unit, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal edges and
aluminum fins on front and rear coils. Besure that, there will be a 3 tilt
angle downward to the unit back side, after finish the unit installation.
NOTE: Save the product packaging and installation instructions for future reference. Store the air conditioner in the product box when not in use for an extended period of time.
NOTE:This is necessary for proper condensed water utilization and
drainage. If you are not using the Side Panels for any reason, this pitch to
the rear muse be maintained!
Remove the air conditioner from the box and place on a hard flat surface, as
floor, a bench or a table. There is a Left and Right Window Filler Panel – be
sure to use the proper panel for each side. When installed the flange for
securing the panel in place to the window sill will be facing into the room.
INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – WINDOW MOUNTING
REMOVE FRONT PANEL AND CHASSIS
- Pull down the front panel and remove the filter.
- Lift the front panel upwards to remove and place to the side.

- Once the panel has been installed on the side of the cabinet, make sure it sits securely inside theframe channel by making slight adjustments. Slide the top and bottom ends of the frame into the top and bottom rails of the cabinet. Slide the panel all the way for both sides.
- Use two or more people, place the air conditioner into the window opening so the bottom of the air conditioner frame is against the window sill. Tilt the back of the unit slightly download to allow accumulated rain water to drain out.
- Fasten cabinet bottom to window sill using two 1/2” screws. Pre-drill holes if needed.
Install Support Brackets
-
Hold each support bracket flush against the outside of the window sill. Tighten each bracket to the bottom of the cabinet as shown. Mark the brackets at top lever of the window sill and then remove.
-
Assemble the sill angle brackets to the support brackets at the marked position with long bolt and locknut as shown. Hand tighten, but not all the way for any changes that may need to be made later during installation.
-

Storm Window Requirements
A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to tilt properly which
in turn will keep it from draining properly. To adjust for this, attach a
board or piece of wood to the sill. The board or wood piece should have a
depth of at least 1/2″. Make sure the board or piece of wood is approximately
1/2″ higher than the storm window frame. This will allow the air conditioner
to tilt enough for proper drainage.

All side and top louvers in the case must project on the outdoor side of the wall. The room side of the case must project into the room farenough to maximize the balance of the unit. The case must be installed level from side to side and with a slight tilt from front to rear. Use a level, no morethan a 1/2 bubble will be correct slant to the outside. Lintel angle is required to support bricks or blocks above the opening.Flashing is required and should extend the length of the opening to ensure no inside cavity leakage occurs.
NOTE: The allowed maximum wall thickness is less than 8 9/10”. Otherwise, the wall will block the air inlet of outdoor side, it will effect the normal operation of the unit.
- Build a wooden frame into the wall opening and make sure fasten it securely, which is suitable to the WALL OPENING REQUIREMENT.
- Remove the air conditioner from the carton box and take off the chassis as window mounting installation.
- Place the cabinet into the wooden frame, and lock the cabinet by the top rail hole and bottom chassis hole with 1” long wood screws as shown, from inside to outside.
- Assemble the two Support Brackets with Sill Angle brackets to the cabinet against to the wooden frame as window mounting installation instructions.
- Assemble the chassis into the cabinet and fasten or lock it, as window mounting installation instructions.

CARE AND CLEANING
Clean your air conditioner to keep it looking new and to minimize dust build up.
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once every month to see if it
needs cleaning. Trapped particles and dust can build up in the filter and may
decrease airflow as well as cause the cooling coils to accumulate frost. To
clean the air filter:
- Remove the filter by pulling down on the indents of the filter door on the front of the unit. (See FIG. 15)
- Wash the filter using liquid dish soap and warm water. Rinse the filter thoroughly. Gently shake the filter to remove excess water.
- Let the filter dry completely before placing it into the air conditioner.
- If you do not wish to wash the filter, you may vacuum the filter to remove the dust and other particles
Wear and Tear
To minimize wear and tear on the air conditioner, always wait at least 3
minutes before changing modes. This will help prevent the compressor from
overheating and the circuit breaker from tripping.
Cabinet Cleaning
To clean the air conditioner cabinet:
- Unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or a fire hazard. The cabinet and front panel of the air conditioner may be dusted with an oil- free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth 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.
Winter Storage
To store the air conditioner when it is not in use for an extended period of
time, remove it care- fully from the window according to the installation
instructions and cover it with plastic or place it in the original box.
