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 a shielded flexible cord with no termination on the load side and an 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 de-energized 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 shock hazards if exposed. The cord shield must not be connected to the 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 duo:

1. Plug the power cord into a wall outlet
2. Press the TEST Button, the circuit should trip and cut all power to the air conditioner
3. 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.

1. This air conditioner is designed to be installed in a standard double-hung window with a window width between 23″ and 36″ (584 mm – 914 mm).
2. The air conditioner can be installed without the accordion panels to fit in a narrow window opening. See the window dimensions.
3. The Lower Sash (the lower part of the window that moves up and down) must allow for 14.5″ of vertical clearance when open. (See FIG. 1).
4. All supporting parts must be secured to firm wood, masonry, or metal.
5. The electrical outlet must be within reach of the power cord.

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 Screw Driver

Top
Rail| 1

Attaching the Top Rail to the Air Conditioner

1. Remove the air conditioner from the box and place it on a hard flat surface.
2. Remove the top rail from the top of the packaging material as shown in FIG. A
3. Align the hole in the top rail with those in the top of the unit as shown in FIG. B
4. 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.

1. Place the air conditioner on a hard flat surface.
2. Locate the accordion panels in the box.
3. Gently pull the free end of the accordion panel (See FIG. 2). Do this for both panels.
4. Slide the free end of the accordion panel into the side panel of the air conditioner (See FIG. 3). Do this for each side.
5. 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 ap- proximately 1/2″ higher than the storm window frame. This will allow the air conditioner to tilt enough for proper drain-age. (See FIG. 5).

Placing the Unit Inside a Window

1. Place the air conditioner on the sill with the bottom mounting rail against its back edge. Center the air conditioner and dose the window securely behind the top mounting rail. The air conditioner should be 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) (Suggest keeping a downward oblique, to let accumulated rainwater drain out, from the backside of the unit bottom.)
2. 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

Toots Needed:
Phillips Screw Driver
Drill (if plot holes are needed)

1. Place the frame lock between the extended accordion panels and the window sill as show in FIG. 9. Screw a 3/4″ (19 mm) locking screw through the frame lock and into the window sill (FIG. 10).
2. 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. 11/12)
3. To secure the lower sash into place, use the sash lock and a 3/4″ screw as shown below (See FIG. 13)
4. 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

1. Turn the air conditioner off, and disconnect the power cord.
2. Remove the sash seal from between windows, and unscrew sash lock.
3. Remove the screws installed through the frame and frame lock.
4. Close (slide) the side panels into frame.
5. Keeping a firm grip on air conditioner, raise the 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.
6. Store parts WITH the air conditioner in the box

USING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER

Manual Control Panel

Operating Your Air Conditioner

1. Power: Turn on the unit by rotating the MODE dial to the desired setting.
2. Cooling Mode: For maximum cooling set the MODE dial to ” “. In HIGH COOL mode, the fan will automatically go to high. This will help circulate the cool air throughout the room. The fan will operate on low in ” ” mode.
3. Fan Mode: For fan only modes, choose either ” ” or ” “. The air conditioner will not cool the room when in fan mode.
4. Thermostat: Turn the TEMP dial to set the desired room temperature. For maximum cooling turn the TEMP dial to 7 (Max Cool).
5. Directional Louvers: To direct the airflow, horizontal wheel to control the horizontal direction, air deflector to control the vertical direction.

NOTE: To minimize wear and tear on the air conditioner, always wait at least 3 minutes before changing modes. This will help prevent the compressor from overheating and the circuit breaker from tripping.

Normal Operating Sounds

• You may hear a pinging noise caused by water hitting the condenser, on rainy days, or when the humidity is high. This design feature helps remove moisture and improve efficiency.
• You may hear the thermostat click when the compres-sor cycles on and off.
• Water will collect in the base pan during rain or days of high humidity. The water may overflow and drip from the outside part of the unit.
• The fan may run even when the compressor is not on.

CARE AND CLEANING

Clean your air conditioner to keep it looking new and to minimize dust build up.

Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once every month to see if it needs cleaning. Trapped particles and dust can build up in the filter and may decrease airflow as well as cause the cooling coils to accumulate frost. To clean the air filter:

1. Remove the filter by sliding it out from the front right side of the air conditioner. (See FIG. 15)
2. Wash the filter using liquid dish soap and warm water. Rinse the filter thoroughly. Gen-tly shake the filter to remove excess water.
3. Let the filter dry completely before placing it into the air conditioner.
4. If you do not wish to wash the filter, you may vacuum the filter to remove the dust and other particles.

Cabinet Cleaning
To clean the air conditioner cabinet:

• Unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or a fire hazard. The cabinet and front panel of the air conditioner may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap. Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth 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.

Winter Storage
To store the air conditioner when it is not in use for an extended period of time, remove it care-fully from the window according to the installation instructions and cover it with plastic or place it in the original box.
