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 customer’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.

LCDI Power Cord and Plug
This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) power cord and plug as required by US National Electric Code 440.65. This cord consists of a length of shielded flexible cord with no termination on the load side and a LCDI attachment plug on the line side.
The LCDI power cord and plug will remove the supply source via electrical disconnect (circuit trip) if the nominal current leakage between the cord shield and either load conductor exceeds a predetermined value. The cord will remain deenergized until the device has been manually reset. This is intended to reduce the risk of a fire in the power cord or combustible materials nearby. The cord shields are not grounded and they must be considered a shock hazards if exposed. The cord shield must not be connected to ground or to any exposed metal.
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 rese.
• 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.

NOTES: Your units power cord and plug may differ from the one shown.

• Store the air conditioner in the product box when not in use for an extended period of time.

How to Install
NOTE: Top Rail and Sliding Panels at each side are offset to provide the proper pitch to the rear of (5/16″). This is necessary for proper condensed water utilization and drainage. If you are not using the Side Panels forany reason, this pitch to the rear must be maintained!

1. Place unit on floor, a bench or a table. There is a Left and Right Window Filler Panelbe 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.
   • Hold the Accordion Panel in one hand and gently pull back the center to free the open end. See Fig.2.
   • Slide the free end of the panel into the cabinet as shown in Fi.3. 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.• Once the panel has been installed on the side of the cabinet, make sure it sits securely inside the frame channel by making slight adjustments. Slide the top and bottom ends of the frame into the top and bottom rails of the cabinet. See Fig.4.
   • Slide the panel all the way in and repeat on the other side.

2. Keep a firm grip on the air conditioner, carefully place the unit into the window opening so the bottom of the air conditioner frame is against the window sill (Fig.5). Carefully close the window behindthe top rail of the unit. (Suggest to keep a down- ward oblique, to let accumulated rain water to drain out, from back side of the unit bottom.)

3. Extend the side panels out against the window frame (Fig.6).

4. Place the frame lock between the frame extensions and the window sill as shown (Fig.7). Drive 3/4″ (19 mm) locking screws through the frame lock and into the sill (Fig.8).
   NOTE: To prevent window sill from splitting, drill 1/8″ (3 mm) pilot holes before driving screws.

5. Drive 1/2″ (12.7mm) locking screws throughframe holes into window sash (Fig.9 Fig10).

6. To secure lower sash in place, attach right angle sash lock with 3/4″ (19 mm) screw as shown (Fig.11).

7. Cut foam seal and insert in the space between the upper and lower sashes (Fig.12).

If AC is Blocked by Storm Window
Add wood as shown in Fig.13, or remove stormwindow before air conditioner is installed.If Storm Window Frame must remain, be sure the drain holes or slots are not caulked or painted shut. Accumulated Rain Water or Condensation must be allowed to drain out.
Removing AC From Window

• Turn AC off, and disconnect power cord.
• Remove sash seal from between windows, and unscrew safety lock.
• Remove screws installed through frame and frame lock.
• Close (slide) side panels into frame.
• Keeping a firm grip on air conditioner, raise sash and carefully “rock” air conditioner backward to drain any condensate water in base of unit. Be careful not to spill any remaining water while lifting unit from window. Store parts with air conditioner.

Air Conditioner Use
Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the best possible results.
