•AIR FLOW AROUND UNIT
Check in door grill and outdoor louvers for air flow obstructions. Do not block air flow to and from unit. The
outdoor coil should be checked and periodically cleaned for debris that 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.
•DRAIN HOLE AND WATER DRIPPING OUTSIDE
Locate drain hole at the rear or on the bottom of unit. Water in base pan is picked up by the fan blade and
thrown onto the warm outdoor coil where it evaporates. The air conditioner must be installed level or tilted
slightly to the outside for proper water disposal. On exceptionally hot and humid days the air conditioner
may permit excess water to pass thru rear drain hole or overflow. This should be considered normal.
•HOW TO INSTALL THE DRAIN CAP
Install the drain cap like Fig. of the right side.
There are two kinds of method to install the drain cap.
The first method is that the shape of hole like
It is good for the household.
The second method is that the shape of hole is like
It is good for the shop.
•DOOR VENT
The door vent for the room air ventilation is lever type.
If the door vent lever moves to the left, then close the
vent and moves to the rght, then open the vent.

•AIR FILTER
Clean the air filter, which removes dust inside the room.
It should be washed at least once every week during operation.
1. Remove the Air Filter from the front grill by pulling to right.
2. Clean Air Filter with a vacuum cleaner or lukewarm, soapy water.
3. Shake it when clean to remove moisture completely. Reinstall.
•CLEANING THE AIR CONDITIONER
1. At least once a year, remove cabinet and thoroughly clean air
conditioner. Have the unit inspected by an authorized service
man to ensure unit is functioning properly.
2. Wash air conditioner with lukewarm, soapy water as needed.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. If using concentrated liquid detergent, dilute in warm water first.
4. Front grill may be wiped off with a cloth dampened in a mild
detergent solution.
5. Cabinet may be washed with mild soap or detergent and
lukewarm water, then polished with liquid wax for appliances.
6. Condenser and Evaporator coils should be cleaned at the beginning of each cooling season. Use a soft
brush or vacuum cleaner to clean them, making sure that the Condenser and Evaporator coils are not
damaged.
7. Do not use abrasive cleaners. These items scrach, crack and discolor surfaces.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
To avoid death or personal injury due to electrical shock, turn fan control OFF and unplug power cord
before cleaning or performing maintenance. After cleaning or performing maintenance, reconnect power.
NOTE
A dirty Air Filter reduces air flow and the cooling capacity.
Do not operate unit without Air Filter.
NOTE

•ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong(grounding) plug for protection against possible shock
hazards. If a 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.
•USE OF EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards under certain condition, we strongly recommend against the use of an
extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it will be a UL
listed 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord rated has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot
receptacle that will plug into the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be 125V/13A
minimum for DWC-126R and 250V/10A minimum for DWA-146R.
