Appropriate power cord accessory kit is determined by the voltage, and amperage of the branch circuit. The unit does not come with a power cord (or hard wire kit). An accessory power cord must be ordered to connect the unit to the outlet. If the unit is to be hard wired, an accessory hard wire kit must be ordered. IMPORTANT: For 265V units, if a power cord is selected, it must plug into the 265V subbase accessory. Cord-connected Units The 240V field supplied outlet must match the plug for the standard 208/230V units and be within reach of the service cord. The standard cord-connected 265V units require an accessory electrical subbase for operation. Power Cord Protection The power cord for 230/208v units provide power cord fire protection. Unit power automatically disconnects when unsafe conditions are detected. Power to the unit can be restored by pressing the reset button on plug head. Upon completion of unit installation for 230/208V models, an operational check should be performed using the TEST/RESET buttons on the plug head. NOTE: The 265V models do not incorporate this feature as they require use of the electrical subbase accessory. Our sub base accessory is being developed

POSSIBLE CAUSES UNIT DOES NOT START Unit may have become unplugged Fuse may have blown Circuit breaker may have been tripped Unit may be off Unit may be in a protection mode.
UNIT NOT COOLING/HEATING ROOM Unit air discharge section is blocked Temperature setting is not high or low enough Note: Setpoint limits may not allow the unit to heat or cool the room to the temperature desired. Check section on dipswitch settings. Unit air filters are dirty. Room is excessively hot or cold when unit is started. Vent door left open. Unit may be in a protection mode. Compressor is in time delay.
DISPLAY HAS STRANGE NUMBERS/ CHARACTERS ON IT UNIT MAKING NOISES
WATER DRIPPING OUTSIDE
WATER DRIPPING INSIDE Wall sleeve is not installed level
ICE OR FROST FORMS ON INDOOR COIL
Low outdoor temperature Dirty filters
COMPRESSOR PROTECTION Power may have cycled, so compressor is in a restart protection.

SOLUTONS Check that plug is plugged securely in wall receptacle. Note: Plug has a test/reset button on it. Make sure that the plug has not tripped. Replace the fuse. See Note 1. Reset circuit breaker. See Note 1. Turn unit on (bottom right button on keypad). Make sure that curtains, blinds or furniture are not restricting or blocking unit airflow. Reset to a lower or higher temperature setting. Remove and clean filters. Allow sufficient amount of time for unit to heat or cool the room. Start heating or cooling early before outdoor temperature, cooking heat or gatherings of people make room uncomfortable. Close vent door. Check dipswitch settings for desired comfort. Wait approximately 3 minutes for compressor to start.
The unit may be in a protection mode. The unit may be set for (instead of ).
Clicking, gurgling and whooshing noises are normal during operation of unit.
If a drain kit has not been installed, condensation runoff during very hot and humid weather is normal. See Note 2.If a drain kit has been installed and is connected to a drain system, check gaskets and fittings around drain for leaks and plugs.
Wall sleeve must be installed level for proper drainage of condensation .Check that installation is level and make any necessary adjustments. When outdoor temperature is approximately 55 or below, frost may form on the indoor coil when unit is in Cooling mode. Switch unit to FAN operation until ice or frost melts. Remove and clean filters.
Random Compressor restart-Whenever the unit is plugged in, or power has been restarted, a random compressor restart will occur. After a power outage, the compressor will restart after approximately 3 minutes. Compressor Protection- To prevent short cycling of the compressor, there is a random startup delay of 3 minutes and a minimum compressor run time of 3 minutes.

ELECTRIC HEATING FAILURE

Clean the evaporator once every three months by professional people.

NOTES: 1.If circuit breaker is tripped or fuse is blown more than once, contact a qualified electrician. 2.If unit is installed where condensation drainage could drip in an undesirable location, an accessory drain kit
should be installed and connected to drain system.
