18. NEVER mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries with this product.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The appliance must be connected to a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug connected to the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED APPLIANCE RATED LESS THAN 15A AND INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120V SUPPLY CIRCUIT
The appliance is for use on a nominal 120V circuit and should be connected to a grounding outlet that looks like the one illustrated below. The use of a temporary adaptor is not recommended.

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.

WARNING: Test LCDI before each use.
To test the plug:

1. Plug power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Press RESET (on some units a green light will turn on).
3. Press the TEST button, the circuit should trip and cut all power to the air conditioner(on some units green light may turn off).
4. Press the RESET button for use. You will hear a click and the A/C is ready for use.
5. The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to trip when the TEST button is pressed and the unit fails to reset.

NOTES

• The RESET button must be engaged for proper use.
• Do not use the power supply cord as an ON/OFF switch. The power supply cord is designed as a protective device.

CAUTION: 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.

WARNING – RISK OF FIRE
It is important the plug fits tightly into the wall outlet.
If the plug does not fit securely and appears loose, it should not be used. Have a licensed electrician replace the receptacle.

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

1. Safety Lock and 5/8in Screws
2. Top Rail and 3/8in Screws
3. Frame Assembly (Left)
4. Safety Lock and 5/8in Screw
5. Frame Assembly (Right)
6. Air Conditioner unit
7. Window Sash Seal Foam

PREPARE THE AIR CONDITIONER.

1. Install the top rail on the AC.
   Install the Top Rail on the AC with (4) 3/8”.
   For safety reasons, all 4 screws MUST be securely fastened.

2. Pull out the window panels.
   Pull out both the the left and right window panels approximately half way, as shown.

3. Install the window panels.
   Insert the right window panel into the slot on the top right side of the air conditioner and slide down.
   Repeat on the left side.

4. Fasten the panels to the AC.
   Stretch the wind screen outward and insert the upper and lower frame strips of the Panels into the AC slot.

5. Before continuing with installation, check to make sure the following steps have been taken.

   • A. The upper and lower frame strips of the Panels are inserted into the slots.
   • B. Top Rail is securely fastened on the AC with 4 Screws.
   • C. The window panels are installed in the slots, on the side of the AC.

INSULATE THE WINDOW.

1. Cut the adhesive foam seal to the width of the window. Apply it to the underside of the window sash.
   You should cut the foam to be the entire width of your window from the left to the right side.

2. Insert the foam insulation strips.
   In order to reduce the noise generated during the operation of the air conditioner, use the foam insulation strips to fill in any gaps.
   If your window already has a liner or insulation strip, you can skip the above steps.

LIFT THE AC INTO THE WINDOW.

1. Lift the assembled AC into the window frame with the help of another person.
   To avoid injury or property damage, two people should lift the assembled AC into the window frame. Make sure someone is holding the back of the unit. It may be helpful to rest the unit on the inside window sill, before properly positioning the air conditioner.

2. Properly position the bottom flange, BEHIND the inside window sill.
   Properly position the bottom flange behind the inside window sill and into the bottom horizontal channel of the window frame as shown. The front of the bottom bar should be pressing up against the back edge of the sill.
   The air conditioner should be tilted back about 3 to 4 degrees downward to the outside. This is to make sure the condensation drains from the exterior of the unit. After proper installation, condensate should not drain from the overflow drain hole during normal use.A storm window can prevent the air conditioner form tilting outside at the correct angle to drain properly. If a storm window can not be removed, a board can be cut and fastened to the window sill .
   CAUTION: If a storm window blocks the AC, Please install according to the figure above.

3. Close the window down onto the AC, and pull the panels to the side of the window.
   Once the AC is centered and the bottom flange is successfully positioned, close the window down onto the AC, behind the top rail. See diagram above. Pull the panels to the side of the window.

SECURE THE AC.

1. DRIVE LOCKING SCREWS.
   Follow the above instructions and drive the screws.

COMPLETE INSTALLATION BY SEALING GAPS.

1. Cut the non-adhesive foam seal to fit the width of your window.
   Make sure you are cutting the non-adhesive foam. Measure and cut the foam to fit the entire width of the window. Insert the foam between the gap of the upper and lower sashes of the window to seal it.

AIR CONDITIONER FEATURES

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
CAUTION: Please always wait 3 minutes when turning unit off then on again, and when changing from cool to fan and back to cool. This prevents compressor from overheating & possible circuit breaker tripping.

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

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 top of the filter and gently pull up and out.
• Wash the filter using dishwashing liquid and warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure the filter is thoroughly dry before replacing. Instead of washing, you may vacuum the filter clean.

NOTE: Never use hot water over 104°F (40°C) to clean the air filter. Never attempt to operate the unit without the air filter.

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.
• Turn off the unit and disconnect power cord. Remove foam seal from between windows, and unscrew safety sash lock. Remove screws installed through frame and frame lock.
