• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
  For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

• DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.

• The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

• The power cord includes a current interrupter device. A test and reset button is provided on the plug case. The device should be tested on a periodic basis by first pressing the TEST button and then the RESET button while plugged into the outlet. If the TEST button does not trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician.

• Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

• Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

• The air conditioner should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

• This provides the best performance and prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

• See the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, Electrical Requirements section for specific electrical connection requirements.

WARNING

• WOOD PIECES WIDTH: 2″
• LENGTH: Long enough to fit inside the window frame.
• THICKNESS: To determine the thickness, place a piece of wood on the sill to make it 1/2″ higher than the top of the storm window frame or the vinyl frame.
• Attach securely with nails or screws provided by the installer.

PREPARE THE AIR CONDITIONER

• Screw the top mounting rail with 4 Type A screws ( 10K 12K) or 3 Type A screws (8K) from the outside of the case.
• Apply the weather seals provided at the bottom,top, and sides of the window to seal the perimeter of the air conditioner.
• Slide the side curtains snap into side panel rails.
• Slide left and right-side curtain frames into top and bottom rails. Make sure that side curtains snap into side of the frames.

INSTALL THE AIR CONDITIONER IN THE WINDOW

• Mark the center of the window. Set the air conditioner in the window so that is it centered. Place the air conditioner so that front edge of the bottom mounting rail is against the back edge of the sill.

• Bring the window down so that the front edge of the top mounting is in front of the window.
  Make sure that the air conditioner is level or tilting slightly to the outside.

• Extend the curtain panels until they fill the window. Mark the location of the holes in each corner.
  Use the drill and 1/8″ drill bit to drill pilot holes. Use 4 type B screws to secure the side panels in place.

SECURE THE AIR CONDITIONER

• Loosen the screw on the right-hand side of the air conditioner near the bottom.
• Slide a side bracket over the screw so that the bracket is resting on the windowsill. Tighten the screw.
• Use a 1/8″ drill bit to drill a starter hole into the windowsill through the holes in the side bracket. Use 4 type B screws to attach the side bracket to the windowsill.
• Repeat the side bracket installation on the left side.

INSTALL WINDOW LOCKING BRACKET AND FOAM TOP WINDOW GASKET

Use Type B Screw to install the window lock bracket on top of the bottom window.

CAUTION

• To prevent broken glass or damage to windows, on vinyl or other similarly constructed windows, attach the window locking bracket to the window side jamb with one Type B screw.
• Cut the foam top window gasket to the window width.
• Stuff the foam between the glass and the window to prevent air and insects from getting into the room.

Note
If the gasket supplied does not fit your window, obtain the appropriate material locally to provide a proper installation seal.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Review the chart on the following page for Troubleshooting Tips. If issue persists, please call for further assistance.

conditioner plug is pushed completely into the outlet.
The fuse is blown/circuit breaker Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the is tripped fuse or reset the breaker.
Power failure| The unit will automatically restart in the setting last used after the power is restored.

There is a protective time delay (approximately 3 minutes) to prevent tripping of the compressor overload. For

this reason, the unit may not start normal cooling for 3 minutes after it is turned back on.

The current interrupter device is tripped| Press RESET button located on the power cord plug.

If the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician.

Air conditioner does not cool as it should| Indoor airflow is restricted| Make sure there are not curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the front of the air conditioner.
The temp control may not be set properly| Turn the temperature control to a higher number.
The air filter is dirty| Clean the filter at least every 30 days. See Care and Cleaning section.
The room may have been hot| When the air conditioner is first turned on, you need to allow time for the room to cool down.
Cold air is escaping| Check for open furnace registers and cold air returns.
Cooling coils have iced up| See “Air conditioner freezing up” below.
Air conditioner freezing up| Ice blocks the air flow and stops the air conditioner from cooling the room| On models with control knobs, set the mode control at High Fan or High Cool with the Temp at 1 or 2. May have lost refrigerant.
Water drips outside| Hot, humid weather| This is normal.
Water drips inside| The air conditioner is not tilted to the outside| For proper disposal, make sure the air conditioner slants slightly from the case front to the rear.
Water collects in base pan| Moisture removed from air and drain into base pan| This is normal for a short period in areas with little humidity; normal for a longer period in very humid areas.

Normal Operating Sounds

• You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown against the condenser on rainy days or when the humidity is high. This is normal, unit is equipped with a slinger blade which scoops up the water from the drain pan and throws it onto the coils for better efficiency.
• You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor cycles on and off.
• Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity or on rainy days. The water may overflow and drip from the outdoor side of the unit. The drain plug may be removed for quicker drainage.
• The fan may run even when the compressor does not.
• Drain plug may be removed for gravity drain but may reduce efficiency.
• DO NOT drill any holes.
