Situations when the appliance will be disconnected occasionally; Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly discourage the use of an adapter plug. However, if you wish to use an adapter, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may
be made. Use UL-listed adapter, available from most local hardware stores. The large slot in the adapter must be aligned with the large slot in the receptacle to assure a proper polarity connection.

The customer should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
Disconnect the power cord from the adapter, using one hand on each. Otherwise, the adapter ground terminal might break. Do not use the appliance with a broken adapter plug.
Situations when the appliance will be disconnected often; Do not use an adapter plug in these situations. Unplugging the power cord frequently can lead to an eventual breakage of the ground terminal. The wall power outlet should be replaced by a three-slot (grounding) outlet instead.

PLANNING INSTALLATION

How to install the unit

To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the unit is installed securely and firmly.
Install the unit out of direct sunlight.
There should be no obstacles, such as a fence or wall, within 20″ from the back of the cabinet because it will prevent heat radiation of the condenser. Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.
Install the unit slightly tilted so the back is slightly lower than the front (about 1/4″). This will force condensed water to flow to the outside.
Install the unit with the bottom between 30″~ 60″ above the floor level.

CAUTION: DO NOT cover or block any of the side and top louvres. All side louvres of the cabinet must remain exposed to the outside of the structure and unobstructed.

Window requirements

This unit is designed for installation in standard double-hung windows with actual opening widths from 21″ to 35″.
The top and bottom window sashes must open sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of 12″ from the bottom of the upper sash to the inside sill.

Storm window requirements

Windows that include a storm window frame may prevent the air conditioner from tilting down toward the outside to drain properly. For proper drainage, attach a 1″ x 2″ piece
of wood to the inner sill, trimmed to a length that fits inside the window frame. The top of the wood shim must be at least 3/4″ higher than the top of the storm window frame. Attach the wood securely to the sill with nails or screws.
If necessary, attach another 1″ x 2″ wood strip flush against the back of the inner sill. This will raise the L bracket, as shown in the drawing.
