the unit maybe on a fuse or circuit breaker
with other devices. However, the maximum
amps of all devices on that fuse or circuit
breaker can not exceed the amps of the fuse
of circuit breaker.
If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating
of 115 volts and greater than 7.5 amps it
must have its own fuse or circuit breaker,
and no other device or unit should be
operated on the fuse or circuit breaker.

TIPS BEFOREINSTALLATION
Your RoomAir 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.
I_1_1r:l _ _
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.
F!Y
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)

Tabla 1

Su unidad de AireAcondicionado para Habitaciones
se ha dise_ado para Iograr un alto rendimiento y
ahorrar energfa electrica. Siga las siguientes
sugerencias para Iograr un mayor rendimiento.
I. Ajuste el termostato a un nivel que le resulte
agradable y d_jelo en el nivel seleccionado.
NOTA: conserve la caja de la unidad y los materiales
de empaque para almacenarla o transportarla en el
futuro. Antes de instalar la unidad compare el
contenido del juego de herrajes con la lista de control
del modelo correspondiente. Consulte las siguientes
listas (Fig. A).
2. El filtro de aire es muy eficiente a la hora de eliminar
parttculas que se desplazan pot el aire. Mantenga
limpio el filtro de aire. Por Io general, el filtro deberc_
limpiarse una vez al mes. Es probable que sea
necesario limpiarlo con m6s 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 habitaci6n,
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 evitarO sufrir calor
mientras la unidad enfrfa la habitaci6n.
5. Cuando la temperatura exterior es Io suficientemente
fresca, utilice s61oHIGH FAN (ventilador al m_ximo) o
LOW FAN (ventilador al mi nimo). Esto hace que el aire
interior circule a una temperatura agradable y consume
menos energfa el6ctrica que si hiciera funcionar la
unidad como enfriador de aire.
