Your Room Air Conditioner unit is designed to
be highly efficient and save energy. Follow these
recommendations for greater efficiency.
1. Select thermostat setting that suits your
comfort needs and leave the thermostat at
that chosen setting.
2. The air filter is very efficient in removing airborne
particles. Keep the air filter clean. Typically, the filter
should be cleaned once a month. More
frequent cleaning may be necessary depending
on outdoor and indoor air quality.
3. Use drapes, curtains, or shades to keep
direct sunlight from heating your room, but
DO NOT obstruct the air conditioner. Allow air to
circulate around the unit without obstructions.
4. Start your air conditioner before outdoor
air becomes hot/cold and uncomfortable. This
avoids an initial period of discomfort while
the unit is cooling or heating off the room.
5. When outdoor temperature is cool
enough, use HIGH or LOW FAN
only. This circulates indoor air, providing
some cooling comfort, and utilizes less
electricity than when operating on a
cooling setting.
To avoid installation/operating difficulties,
read the instructions thoroughly.
NOTE: Save the shipping carton and packing
materials for future storage or transport of the unit.
Please check the contents of the hardware kit against
the corresponding model check list, prior to
installation of the unit.
See lists below.(Fig.A)

TIPS BEFORE INSTALLATION
WAC 8-24 USER MAN FINAL 3/2/05 12:13 PM Page 9

Because the compressor is located on the
controls side of the unit (right side), this side
will be heavier and more awkward to manipulate.
Inadequate support on control side of the unit
can result in personal injury and damage to your
unit and property. Therefore, it is recommended
to have someone assist you during the installation
of this unit.
E. Be certain the proper electrical outlet is within reach
of the installation. Use only a single outlet circuit rated
at proper current (see table 1 on page 4). All wiring
should be in accordance with local and national
electrical codes.
F. Your unit was designed to evaporate condensation
under normal conditions. However, under extreme
humidity conditions, excess condensation may cause
the basepan to overflow to the outside.
The unit should be installed where condensation
run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighboring
properties.
1. Select the Best Location
A. Your room air conditioner was designed to
fit easily into a single or double hung window. However,
since window designs vary, it may be necessary to
make some modifications for safe and proper
installation.
B. Make sure window and frame is structurally
sound and free from dry and rotted wood.
C. For maximum efficiency, install the air conditioner
on side of the house or building which favors more
shade than sunlight. If the unit is in direct sunlight,
it is advisable to provide an awning over the unit.
D. Provide sufficient clearance around the cabinet
to allow for ample air circulation through the unit.
See (Fig.B). The rear of the unit should be outdoors
and not in a garage nor inside of a building.
Keep unit as far away as possible from obstacles and
obstructions and at least 30" above the floor or
ground. Curtains and other objects within a room
should be prevented from blocking the air flow.

behind the air intake front grille.
To remove the air filter, open the air inlet
grille and take the air filter .
To reinstall the air filter, reverse the above
procedure.
DO NOT forget to install the air filter. If the air
conditioner is left to operate without the air filter,
dust is not removed from the room and may
cause your air conditioner to fail.
When the air filter inlet grille and cabinet are dirty,
wipe with lukewarm water (below 40 C/104 F).
Use of mild detergent is recommended.
Cleaning of Air Filter
1. Remove dust clogged in the filter by
tapping it or vacuum clean it.
2. Wash the filter well with lukewarm water below
40 C (104 F) while rubbing lightly: To get better
results, wash it with soapy water or a neutral
cleaning agent.
