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 wall outlet.
• Press the TEST Button, the circuit should trip and cut all power to the air conditioner.
• Press the RESET button for use.

If a test is performed and the indicator light remains ON, the current leakage has been detected. Do not use the air conditioner or attempt to reset the LCDI Plug. Contact  Customer Service for troubleshooting recommendations.

Installation & Assembly Instructions

Some assembly is required for your new air conditioner. Please read and follow these instructions carefully.

• This air conditioner is designed to be installed in a standard double-hung window with a window width between 23″ and 34″ (584mm-863 mm).
• The air conditioner can be installed without the accordion panels to fit in a narrow window opening. See the window dimensions.
• The Lower Sash (the lower part of the window that moves up and down) must allow for 14.5″ of vertical dearance when open. (See Fig.1).
• All supporting parts must be secured to firm wood, masonry, or metal.
• The electrical outlet must be within reach of the power cord.
• The air conditioner should be tilted about 3° for better drainage of condensate and rainwater.

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.

Top Rail Assembly
The top rail must be assembled prior to installing the air conditioner in the window.
Tools Needed: Phillips Head Screw Driver
Attaching the Top Rail to the Air Conditioner

• Remove the air conditioner from the box and place on a hard and flat surface.
• Remove top rail from the top of the packaging material as shown in Fig.A.
• Align the hole in the top rail with those in the top of the unit as shown in Fig.B.
• Secure the top rail to the unit with the 3/8″ screws as shown in Fig.C.

Caution
When handling the unit, be careful to avoid cuts from the sharp metal edges and aluminum fins on the front and rear coils. NOTE: For safety reasons, all 4 screws must be used to attach the top rail.

Accordion Panel Installation
Now that you have installed the top rail, you can now install the accordion panels on each side.

• Place the air conditioner on a hard flat surface.
• Locate the accordion panels in the box.
• Gently pull the free end of the accordion panel (See Fig.2). Do this for both panels.
• Slide the free end of the accordion panel into the side panel of the air conditioner (See Fig.3). Do this for each side.
• Once the accordion panels are slid into place adjust the top and bottom rails of the accordion panels into the top and bottom rails of the air conditioner (See Fig.4).

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 1-1/2″. 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. (See Fig.5). Placing the Unit Inside a Window

• Place the air conditioner on the sill with the bottommounting rail against its back edge. Center the air conditioner and close the window securely behind the top mounting rail. The air conditioner should be 3° slightly tilted to the outside area. Use a level, about a 1/3 bubble will be the correct case slant to the outside. (See FIG.6 & FIG.7) (It is suggested to keep a downward angle to let accumulated rain water drain out from the back side of the unit bottom.)
• Once the air conditioner is placed, extend both the left and right accordion panels to the width of the window.

Frame Lock, Sash Lock, and Foam Seal Installation
Mounting Hardware
Tools Needed:
Phillips Head Screw Driver
Drill (if plot holes are needed)

• Place the frame lock between the extended accordionpanels and the window sill as show in Fig.9. Screw a 3/4″ (19mm) locking screw through the frame lock anc into the window sill. (Fig.10)
• Drive 1/2″ screws into the top of the accordion panel frame and the top rail to securely attach the window air conditioner to the lower sash. (See Fig.11 Fig.12)
• To secure the lower sash into place, use the sash lock and a 3/4″ screw as shown below. (See Fig.13)
• For added insulation, cut the supplied insulation foam to the width of the window.
  Insert the foam between the window sashes to prevent air and objects from getting into the room. (See Fig.14)

Removing the Air Conditioner from the Window

• Turn the air conditioner off and unplug the power cord.
• Remove the sash seal from between windows, and unscrew sash lock.
• Remove the screws installed through the frame and frame lock.
