Electrical Safety

Grounding: This room air conditioner must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

• The power cord has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. Plug it into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

• Call a qualified electrician if you don’t understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the air conditioner is properly grounded.
• If the wall outlet is not grounded, please contact an electrician to have it replaced with a properly grounded outlet.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Adapter Plug: We strongly advise against using an adapter plug.

Important: Test the power plug before each use:

1. Press the “reset “button.
2. Press the “test “button, unit should trip.
3. Press the “reset” button again for use.

Do not use it if the above test fails. In the event this device trips, the cause of the malfunction is to be corrected before further use of the device.

Tips

• Air Conditioners are designed for use in a double-hung window or through-the-wall installation only. (As applicable in your model)
  While installing the unit be sure to tilt the air conditioner 5 degrees outward to have the water drip outside the house.

• Install the unit on the north side as normally that is the shaded side. This will enhance the operation of your unit.

• The window has to be strong for installation. Extra brackets and or support may be required depending on your window.

• Measure the window before installing, if the window is too big for the unit you may require professional installation.

• Use the correct electric voltage and proper ampere for the unit to run effectively.

• Only let a certified electrician do any modifications to your electrical outlet.

Energy Saving Guide

• When installing your air conditioner make sure to seal all areas where there is a possibility of air leakage.
• Airflow should not be blocked inside either by curtains, drapes, or furniture or outside by shrubs or bushes.
• Do not needlessly use an electrical light or other appliances that produce heat.
• Keep the vent closed on the air conditioner when in the cooling function.
• Keep the blinds and the drapes drawn on all the other windows.
• While cooking use an exhaust fan in the kitchen to remove the excess heat produced.
• Always use the correct BTU size air conditioner to cool the room to attain optimum efficiency.

Installing Unit into A Window

Window Opening Requirements
The air conditioner is designed to fit into double or single-hung sash-type windows. Each of the units comes with an installation kit that provides adjustable mounting louvers, to fill the gaps between the sides of the unit, and the window frame. The chart below reflects the dimensions of the units with, and without installation kits. Measure your window opening width and compare it to the chart below to ensure that it meets the minimum and maximum window width requirements.

Wall Installations: slide-out chassis only
Note: Remove the 2 shipping screws on the top of the air conditioner that holds the chassis to the outer shell casing. Once removed, these do not have to be re-installed. To ensure that your air conditioner is properly installed in the wall, it is recommended that it be installed by a certified technician who is familiar with through-the-wall installations.

1. Using wood, 1″ or more in thickness, build a wooden frame to fit the casing/ cabinet dimensions of the unit that you have purchased.
2. Measure the outside width and the height of the frame to determine the cutout dimensions necessary for the opening in the wall. The depth of the frame will depend on the depth of the wall. The finished frame must be set on the inside wall. The frame has to be squared and leveled. Remember the frame has to be nailed securely to the wall studs. (See Fig. # 19)
3. Now to install, insert the casing into the wall opening. (Remove the chassisout first following steps 1 – 6 in Slide-out chassis section). Make sure that the cabinet is at least 1/2″ inch inside the room. Also, the side louvers should not be blocked. This is to have proper air circulation in and around the compressor.(SeeFig, # 20)
4. The casing should be tilted 1/4″ outside so as to drain the excess dehumidified water.
5. Properly insulate any opening between the casing and the frame.
6. Using the screw holes on the sides of the unit, which are for the window mounting kit and the screw hobs in the top mounting kit rail, attach the casing to the wood frame.
7. With the help of another person lift and put the chassis of the air conditioner into the casing.
8. Screw the security screw into place and snap on the grille.
9. If the filter was removed during this process, reinsert the filter.

CARE AND CLEANING

• Always unplug your air conditioner before c|eanlng.
• The air filter behind the inlet grille should be checked and cleaned at least once every 2 weeks (or as necessary) to maintain optimal performance of the air conditioner.

How to remove the air filter

1. The grille may be opened from the top for easy maintenance after installation.
2. Open the inlet grille by pulling off the exposed door on the top of the unit(based on the installation).
3. Pull the tab slightly to release the fifter. Pull the filter in the same direction as the opening.
4. Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. The water should be below 40°C(104°F).
5. Rinse off and gently shake off excess water from the filter. Let it dry before replacing it.
   • DO NOT use your air conditioner without the air filter in p|ace. dean the front panels or the cabinet DO NOT use harsh chemlca|s, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine, beach, concentrated detergents, solvents or meta| scouring pads. Some of these chemicals may dissolve, damage, and/or discolor your air conditioner. ways use a soft cloth dampened with water or mild soap and water solution to wipe the front if the cabinet. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
   • To store your air conditioner, after the season, remove the unit from the window as per the installation guide. Repack the unit in its original box and store away. If your unit is installed in a wall or you do not intend to remove it from the window then cover the outside with a winter cover.
   • This can Be purchased from the retailer where you purchased your air conditioner or from your local hardware store.
   • Before putting away your unit make sure any water left in the pan is removed and drained away. Water left in the pan could lead to Rusting or damage to the electrical connections.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• If the air conditioner does not operate:
  • Check if the unit is plugged in. The plug may have come loose.
  • Check if the unit is in “Off” mode.
• Air from air conditioner is warm:
  • The A/C setting may need to be raised.
• Ice formation on coo|ing colls:

  • Lower temperature setting. The temperature setting may be too cold.
  • Unit BTU may be too high for the room.
• The air conditioner working but the room not cooing:
  • The room may have appliances that produce heat. Use an exhaust fan to remove excess heat.
  • Redirect the airflow. Remove any obstacles.
  • All doors and windows need to be closed so cool air does not escape the room.
  • An air filter may need cleaning.
  • Unit BTU may be too low for the required cooling area.
  • On extremely hot & humid days air conditioners may take a little longer to cool.
  • The vent may be in the open position. The vent has to be closed for optimum cooling.
• The air conditioner is making noise when cooling:
  • You may hear sound of air movement, water, compressor clicking on and off or window vibrations. ReadOperating Guide – Normal Operating Sounds.
• Water in the air conditioner cabinet:
  • This is normal as your air conditioner not only cools but also dehumidifies the air. if there is water dripping inside the room, check the installation of the unit. The unit may need to be reinstalled.
