RoomHeatPumps
Heatpumpsworkbymovingheatinsteadofcreatingit. Inthe
summer, the cool indoor coil absorbs heat from your room
andmovesitoutdoors,providingcooling. Inthewinter,heat
pumpsreversethisoperation. Byloweringthetemperature
of the outdoor coil below the outdoor temperature, the heat
pump absorbs the heat from outdoors and moves it inside
yourhouse. This heat transferringprocessisveryefficient.
Forexample,at45°Foutdoortemperature,aheatpumpcan
provide 2 ½ watts of heat for every watt of electricity it
consumes.
As outdoor temperatures drop, the heating capacity and
efficiencyoftheheatpumpdeclines. Attemperaturesbelow
45°F, it is likely that ice will form on the outdoor coil. Heat
pump units are designed to operate as a heat pump above
approximately 40°F. Below 40°F, these units switch auto-
matically from reverse cycle heat pump to auxiliary electric
heating. No defrost is required. There is no minimum
operatingtemperature.
NormalCareandMaintenance
Installing an air conditioner through a wall
requires extensive carpentry and/or mason-
ry experience. Thru-wall installations per-
formed by inexperienced or unqualified
individuals can result in costly damage to
home or result in equipment malfunction
that could cause property damage,
personal injury or death.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the
possiblity of electric shock hazard. If the wall
outlet you plan to use in only a 2-prong outlet, it
is your responsiblity to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Some models require 230/208-volt a.c.
protected with a time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. These models should be installed on
their own single branch circuit for best
performance and to prevent overloading house
or apartment wiring circuits, which could
cause a possible fire hazard from overheating
wires.
CAUTION
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not change the plug on the power cord of
this air conditioner.
Aluminum house wiring may present special
problems - consult a qualified electrician.
TOOLS YOU WILL NEED
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. 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.

•The air conditioner can be installed without the
accordion panels if needed to fit in a narrow
window. See the window opening dimensions.
•All supporting parts must be secured to firm
wood, masonry or metal.
•The electrical outlet must be within reach of the
power cord.
1 WINDOW REQUIREMENTS
•A storm window frame will not allow the air
conditioner to tilt toward the outside, and will
keep it from draining properly.
To adjust for this, attach a piece of wood to
the stool.
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 stool to make it 1/2" higher
than the top of the storm window frame.
Attach securely with nails or screws
provided by the installer.

However, in veryhumid conditions excessamountsof water
may drip off the unit chassis. If this proves to be a problem,
install the condensate drain cup included with the unit to
route excess water where it would not be a problem (see
illustrationbelow).
Toinstall,removetheunitchassisfromtheoutercase. Insert
the condensate drain cup through the recessed ½” hole on
the back center flange of the outer case. Once inserted,
place a ½” diameter hose or tube on the drain cup bottom
spout. The hose allows you to route where you want the
excesswater togo. Reinsert theunit chassis into the outer

In order to reinstall the chassis and re-
attach the air conditioner front cover, the
installed outercase must be square and
level from side to side. Use wood shims
between sides of case and finished open-
ing - especially where case is secured to
opening - to prevent warping or distorting.
Check installed case for distortion using
