The refrigerants used for air conditioners are environmentally friendly
hydrocarbons R32. It is combustible and odorless. Moreover, it can burn
and explode under certain condition. However, there will be no risk of
burning and explosion if you comply with the following table to install
your air conditioner in a room with an appropriate area and use it
correctly.
Compared with ordinary refrigerants, Refrigerant R32 is environmentally
friendly and do not destroy the ozone sphere and that its value of
greenhouse effect is also very low.
• Please read the manual before installation, using, maintenance.
• Do not use means to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean, other
than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not pierce or burn the appliance.
• The appliance shall be stored in a room without continuously operating
sources (for example: open flames, an operating ignition gas appliance or
an operating electric heater.)
• Please ask qualified technician for help when maintenance is necessary.
At the time of maintenance, the maintenance personnel must strictly
comply with the Operation Manual provided by the corresponding
manufacturer and any non-professional is prohibited to maintain the air
conditioner.
• The handling, installation, storage, servicing and disposal must comply
with the provisions of gas-related national laws and regulations, and also
national wiring regulation.
• It is necessary to clear away the refrigerant in the system when
maintaining or scrapping an air conditioner.
Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Recommended Ground Method
Electrical Shock Hazard
Power Supply CordWiring Requirements
For your personal safety, this air conditioner must be grounded. This air
conditioner is equipped with a 3 prong power supply cord with a
grounded plug. To minimize the possibility of electrical shock, the cord
must be plugged into a 3 prong outlet and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances. If a 3 prong outlet is not available, it is
the CUS-tomer's responsibility to have a properly grounded 3 prong
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
It is the customer's responsibility:
● To contact a qualified electrician
● To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest
edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

LCDI Power Cord and Plug
This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (L eakage Current
Detection and Interruption) power cord that is required by UL. This
power supply cord contains state- of-the art electronics that sense
leakage current. If the cord is damaged and leakage occurs, power will
be disconnected from the unit.
The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if the plug
is functioning properly. To test the plug:
1. Plug power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet
2. Press RESET (on some units a green light will turn on).
3. Press the TEST Button, the circuit should trip and cut all power to the
air conditioner (on some units a green light may turn off.
4. Press the RESET button for use. You will hear a click and the AC is not
ready for use.
NOTES:
● The RESET button must be engaged for proper use.
The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to trip when the TEST
button is pressed and the unit fails to reset.
● Do not use the power supply cord as an ON/OFF switch. The power
supply cord is designed as a protection device.
● A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power
supply cord.
NOTES:
Your units power cord and
plug may differ from the

B. Slide the free end of the panel into the cabinet as shown in Figures 4.
Slide the panel down. Be sure to leave enough space to slip the top and
bottom of the frame into the rails on the cabinet.
C. Once the panel has been installed on the side of the cabinet, make
sure it sits securely inside the frame channel by making slight
adjustments. Slide the top and bottom ends of the frame into the top
and bottom rails of the cabinet. Figure 5.
D. Slide the panel all the way in and repeat on the other side.

AIR CONDITIONER USE
99FIG. 14
●Turn AC off, and disconnect power cord.
●Remove sash seal from between windows, and unscrew safety lock.
●Remove screws installed through frame and frame lock.
●Close (slide) side panels into frame.
●Keeping a firm grip on air conditioner, raise sash and carefully“rock" air
conditioner backward to drain any condensate water in base of unit. Be
careful not to spill any remaining water while lifting unit from
window. Store parts WITH air conditioner.
If Storm Window Frame must
remain, be sure the drain holes or
slots are not caulked or painted
shut. Accumulated Rain Water or
Condensation must be allowed to
drain out.
Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the best
possible results. This section explains proper air conditioner operation.
IMPORTANT:
●If you turn off the air conditioner, wait at least 3 minutes before
turning it back on. This prevents the air conditioner from blowing a fuse
or tripping a circuit breaker.
●Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode when
outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C).The inside evaporator coil will
freeze up, and the air conditioner will not operate property.
NOTE: In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will operate
at the previous settings when the power is restored.
