UNIT SPECIFICATIONS
CAUTION: Do not leave a room air conditioner unattended in a room where people or
animals who cannot react to a failed unit are located. A failed unit can cause extreme
overheating and fire in an enclosed, unattended space.

READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE USING
1) All wiring must comply with local and
national electrical codes and must be installed
by a qualified electrician. If you have any
questions regarding the following instructions,
contact a qualified electrician.
2) Check available power supply and resolve
any wiring problems BEFORE installing and
operating this unit.
3) This 115V air conditioner uses 4.9 or less
nameplate amps and may be used in any
properly wired, general purpose household
receptacle. See Table 1 for specifications for
individual branch circuit.
4) For your safety and protection, this unit is
grounded through the power cord plug when
plugged into a matching wall outlet. If you are
not sure whether your wall outlet is properly
grounded, please consult a qualified electrician.
5) The wall outlet must match the 3-prong plug
on the service cord supplied with the unit. DO
NOT use plug adapters. See Table 2 for
receptacle and fuse information. If it is
necessary to use an extension cord to connect
your air conditioner, use an approved “air
conditioner” extension cord only (available
at most local hardware stores).
6) The rating plate on the unit contains
electrical and other technical data. The rating
plate is located on the right side of the unit,
above the power cord.

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 filter is very efficient in removing
airborne particles. Keep the air filter clean.
Normally, filters should be cleaned every 2
weeks. More frequent cleaning may be
necessary depending on indoor air quality.
3) Use drapes, curtains or shades to keep
direct sunlight from penetrating and heating
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.
