ENERGY SAVING TIPS
FOR YOUR SAFETY: Read these instructions carefully before operating the unit.
Your Danby appliance is designed to be highly efficient in energy
savings. Follow these recommendations for greater efficiency.
1) Select a thermostat setting that suits your comfort needs and leave at
that chosen setting.
2) The air filter is very efficient in removing airborne particles. Keep the air
filter clean at all times. (usually cleaned every 2 weeks depending on
indoor air quality).
3) Use drapes, curtains or shades to keep direct sunlight from penetrating
and heating the room, but do not allow drapes or curtains to obstruct
the air flow around the unit.
4) Start your air conditioner before the outdoor air becomes hot and
uncomfortable, to avoid an initial period of discomfort while the unit is
cooling off the room.
5) When outdoor temperatures are 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.

is recommended that you have someone assist you during the
installation of this unit.
TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION:
• Screw Drivers: Phillips and flat head.
• Power Drill: 1/8” (3.2mm) diameter drill bit.

Installation Instructions
Fig. 1
INSTALLATION
HARDWARE
LOCATION A) This room air conditioner is designed to fit easily into a single or double
hung window. However, since window designs vary, it may be
necessary to make some modifications for safe, proper installation.
B) Make sure window and frame are structurally sound and free from dry
and rotted wood.
C) For maximum efficiency, install the air conditioner on a side of the
house or building which favours more shade than sunlight. If the unit is
in direct sunlight, it is advisable to provide an awning over the unit.
D) Provide sufficient clearance around the cabinet to allow for ample air
circulation through the unit (See Fig. 2). The rear of the unit should be
outdoors and not in a garage nor inside a building. Keep unit as far
away as possible from obstacles/obstructions and at least 30” above
the floor or ground. Curtains and other objects within a room should be
prevented from blocking the air flow.
E) Be certain the proper electrical outlet is within reach of the installation.
Use only a single outlet circuit rated at 15 amps. All wiring should be in
accordance with local and national electrical codes.
F) DO NOT install unit where leakage of combustible gas is suspected.
Your air conditioner may fail to operate in air containing oils (including
machine oils), sulfide gas, near hot springs, etc.
NOTE: Your unit is designed to evaporate condensation under normal
conditions. However, under extreme humidity conditions, excess conden-
sation may cause basepan to overflow to the outside. The unit should be
installed where condensation run-off cannot drip on pedestrains or neigh-
boring properties.

Installation Instructions
3) Completing the Installation (cont’d)
• Carefully place the air conditioner into the window with the “L” shaped
mounting bracket (on top) positioned in front of the upper window sash.
The bottom of the cabinet should be positioned on the “recessed” portion
of the window frame. Pull the window down until it rests just behind the
front flange of the (top) “L” shaped mounting bracket (See Fig. 5).
• Expand the shutter frames (fully) on each side and secure the top of the
frames to the window sash using one 3/4” screw on each side and one in
the “L” shaped mounting bracket (Fig. 5).
• Secure the shutter clamp on each side of the (lower) shutter and secure
to window sill using one 3/4” screw on each side (Fig. 5).
• Place the second foam sealing strip to fit the opening between the inside
and outside windows, then attach the safety lock to the outside window
frame using one 3/4” screw (See Fig. 6).
PLEASE NOTE: Window applications come in a variety of different styles.
Therefore, it may be necessary to modify or improvise your particular
installation.
