current and power will be disconnected in a fraction of a second.
To test your power supply cord:
1. Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
2. Press RESET.
3. Press TEST (listen for click; Reset button will trip and pop out).
4. Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will latch
and remain in).The power supply cord is ready for operation.
NOTES:
•The Reset button must be pushed in for proper operation.
•The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to trip when the
test button is pressed or fails to rest.
•Do not use the power supply cord as as an off/on switch. The
power supply cord is designed as a protective device.
•A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power
supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer and must not
be repaired.
•The power supply cord contains no use serviceable parts. Opening
the tamper-resistant case voids all warranty and performance claims.

Your Room Air Conditioner unit is designed to
be highly efficient and save energy. Follow these
recommendations for greater efficiency.
1. Select the thermostat setting that suits your
comfort needs and leave the thermostat at
that chosen setting.
2. The filter is very efficient in removing airborne
particles. Keep air filter clean. Normally, 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 and uncomfortable. This
avoids an initial period of discomfort while
the unit is cooling 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 hardware kit against
the corresponding model check list, prior to
installation of the unit. See lists below.(Fig.A)

Casement Window Installation
This air conditioner is designed to fit into most casement type
windows. As shipped from factory, unit will fit into a minimum
window opening 151/2" wide and 22"high. The preferred
method of installation is through a closed or stationary window.
Installation in an open window frame is also possible where
open window can be secured to outside of building or removed
completely.
1.Closed or stationary window: Install unit in stationary sash to
avoid crank handles or window latches. If unit is to be installed
in or next to a movable sash, it may be necessary to remove catch,
handle or both. Remove crank handle and secure window in closed
position. Remove glass panes and separating strips to a height
sufficient to mount unit.
2.Open window frame: Remove crank mechanism and catch handles.
Fold window sash back against exterior wall of building and secure,
or remove completely where possible.
3. Afiller panel will be required at side of unit when installed in
windows having width greater than 151/2". Filler panel should be
made from 3/4 " thick wood securely anchored to one side of
opening so that 15 1/2" wide opening is provided. Filler panel
should run full length of window. Paint to suit.
4. Install unit in same manner as described for sliding windows.
Installation in wood sliding or wood casement windows
1.For wood frame casement windows, it is necessary to construct a
frame, using at least 1 " thick wood with a 15 1/2" wide opening.
2.Paint frame and fasten it securely, sealing it into window opening.
3.Install unit into frame following procedures for metal sliding and
casement windows.
These installations are also typical, and since styles and sizes of
casement windows vary widely, it is advisable to have unit installed
by someone skilled in this type of installation. The dealer selling
these units can recommend or supply qualified people to install
your new unit.
Caution: Do not block air circulationto outside

se ha disenado para lograr un alto rendimiento y
ahorrar energ a el ctrica. Siga las siguientes
sugerencias para lograr un mayor rendimiento.
1. Ajuste el termostato a un nivel que le resulte
agradable y d jelo en el nivel seleccionado.
2. El filtro de aire es muy eficiente a la hora de eliminar
part culas que se desplazan por el aire. Mantenga
limpio el filtro de aire. Por lo general, el filtro deber
limpiarse una vez al mes. Es probable que sea
necesario limpiarlo con m s frecuencia dependiendo
de la calidad del aire exterior o interior.
3. Puede utilizar tapices, cortinas o pantallas para
evitar que la luz directa del sol caliente su habitaci n,
pero NO obstruya el aire acondicionado. Permita
que el aire circule alrededor de la unidad sin
obstrucciones.
4. Encienda el aire acondicionado antes de que la
temperatura exterior sea demasiado elevada y
desagradable. De esta manera evitar sufrir calor
mientras la unidad enfr a la habitaci n.
5. Cuando la temperatura exterior es lo suficientemente
fresca, utilice s lo HIGH FAN (ventilador al m ximo) o
LOW FAN (ventilador al m nimo). Esto hace que el aire
interior circule a una temperatura agradable y consume
menos energ a el ctrica que si hiciera funcionar la
unidad como enfriador de aire.
