Electrical Requirements
Electrical Grounding Instructions
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding
plug for protection against possible shock hazards. Ifa two-
prong wall receptacle is encountered, the customer is
required to contact a qualified electrician and have the two-
prong wall receptacle replaced with a properly grounded
three-prong wall receptacle in accordance with the National
Electrical Code.
Room air conditioners are designed to operate according to
requirements on the nameplate and as shown in Figure 1.
Fuse or circuit breaker ratings must be according to the
fuse instruction label and as shown in Figure 1. Do not plug
models marked "Use on Single Outlet Circuit Only" into a
circuit with another appliance or light fixture.
I_k WARNING
To avoid death, personal injury or property
damage due to electrical shock, this unit
must be grounded. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the round
grounding prong from the plug. Do not
use a two-prong adapter.
[-- _ WARNING
To avoid death, personal injury or property
damage due to electrical shock, do not
use an extension cord. Do not pinch the
power cord. Do not remove the warning
tag from the power cord.
Safety Features
This room air conditioner is equipped with an electronic
control to improve comfort and ensure reliability.
CompressorLockout
To extend the life of the compressor a three minute time
delay will occur when:
• Electrical power is first supplied to the unit
• The thermostat isturned down immediately after the
compressor stops running.
• The Fan Control isquicklyturned from FAN ONLY to
COOLING mode or vice versa.
Low Voltage Protection
This unit isequipped with "brownout" protection. Incase of
an extreme brownout, the Amana control will interrupt
power to the unit to prevent compressor failure. When the
line voltage reaches at least 180 VAC, the control will re-
energize your unit.
Note: A compressor lockout will occur after the unit is
re-energized.

Operation
Vent Control
Open or close the vent by sliding thevent control leverto the
appropriate setting.
EXHAUST- This setting opens the vent to move indoor air
out.
Note: To conserve energy, the unit should be set to the
FAN ONL Ymode when using this setting.
CLOSED - In this position the vent is closed and room air
is recirculated and filtered. This position should be used for
all normal cooling operations (see underlined cooling op-
tions on control panel).
ENERGYSAVER (HIGH, MED and LOW)-
ENERGY SAVER mode provides the most
energy efficient use of your room air condi-
tioner. I n ENERGY SAVER mode, thefan stopswhen the
compressor stops cooling. This feature can be used with
SMART COOL or cooling with any fan speed.
Amana's new air sampling system works to maintain set
temperaturewithin 1.5°Fwhile in ENERGY SAVER mode.
Approximately every 5 minutes the fan will turn on and
"sample" the room airto determine ifcooling is needed. If
the room is cool enough, the fan will cycle off. If the room
needs further cooling, the compressor will start along with
the fan until the set temperature is reached.
ENERGY SAVER has a soft start fan feature. This feature
starts the fan in low speed to reduce noise.
FAN ONLY - FAN ONLY circulates room airat the set fan speed without cooling. This
feature can be turned off bypressing the FAN
ONLY, the SMART COOL, orthe ENERGY SAVER button.
Indoor temperature is displayed in FAN ONLY mode.
Unit Control
Control Panel
OFF - Completely shuts off the unit.
SMART COOL- SMART COOL adjusts the
fan speed of the unit to achieve the selected
temperature. The SMART COOL feature
uses computer logic to cool the room quickly
and quietly. The fan speed starts on high, automatically
switches to medium, and finally goes to low as the room
temperature nears the set temperature.
___ LOW FAN, MED FAN, HIGH FAN
-These three buttons are used to
select either a low, medium or
high fan speed to cool. If FAN ONLY is selected these
buttons change fan speed without cooling. Selecting the
fan speed starts normal cooling.

General Information
Changing Air Flow Direction
•Adjust horizontal baffles for directing air up or down
• Adjust vertical baffles with handle to direct air left or
right
1. Once a year, remove chassis from outer case and
thoroughly clean air conditioner.
2. Wash air conditionerwith warm, soapywateras needed.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.

CONTROL
Air Flow Around Unit
Checkindoorgrilleand outdoor louvers for air flow obstruc-
tions. Do not block airflowto and from unit. The outdoorcoil
should be checked and periodically cleaned for debris that
Oceanside or Corrosive Environment
Salt air or a corrosive environment may greatly reduce the
life of the unit. After cleaning, sand and repaint any
scratches or blisters on painted surfaces, tn humid areas
where algae formation is common, place an algaecide
tablet in outdoor side of unit base pan.
Air Filter

access to the air filter. The filter can be removed two ways:
METHOD ONE:
Grasp the filter handle and slide the filter to the left until
it clears the unit.
LOUVEF INDOOR

may collect and block unit air flow. If air flow is obstructed
or deflected back into unit, the compressor may cycle on
and off rapidly, causing early compressor failure.
