FEATURES
Your 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, to avoid an initial period of discomfort while the unit
is cooling the room.
5. When outdoor temperatures are cool enough, use the Fan Mode setting. This circulates indoor air, providing
some cooling comfort, and uses less electricity than operating on a Cooling setting.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
To avoid the possibility of personal
injury, disconnect power to the unit
before installing or servicing.
NOTE: Your RoomAir Conditioner is designed for easy
installation in a single or double-hung window. This unit
is NOTdesigned for vertical (slider type) windows and/or
through-the-wall applications.
Because the compressor is located on the controls side of the unit (left side), this side
will be heavier and more awkward to manipulate. Inadequate support on the control side
of the unit can result in personal injury and damage to your unit and property. Therefore,
it is recommended that you have someone assist you during the installation of this unit.

1. 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.
2. Make sure window and frame are structurally sound and free from dry and rotted wood.
3. 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.
4. 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. It should not be in a garage, or inside a building. Keep unit as far away as possi-
ble from obstacles/obstructions and at least 30 in. (76 cm) above the floor or ground. Curtains and other objects within
the room should be prevented from blocking the air flow.
5. Be certain that 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.
6. 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 con-
ditions, excess condensation may cause basepan to overflow to the outside. The unit should be installed where conden-
sation run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighbouring properties.
NOTE: It is normal for your unit to drip a small amount of water, especially on excessively humid days.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Assembly of the upper channel to the cabinet (factory installed on some units).
• “L” Shaped Top Channel: install the “L” shaped channel to the top of the cabinet as shown in Fig. 3, using four (4)
3/8 in. (9.5 mm) screws.
2. Assembly of the side curtains to the cabinet.
• Extend the shutter from the shutter frame and slide it into the shutter tabs on the side channel of the air conditioner,
as shown in Fig. 4.
• Slide the shutters into the top (“L” shaped) and bottom (“U” shaped) channels. The shutters are identified (on frame)
as left and right.
3. Completing the installation.
• Cut the foam (non adhesive) sealing strip to fit the area of the window sill that the air conditioner will rest on.
• 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 1/2 in.
(13 mm) screw on each side and one in the “L” shaped mounting bracket (Fig. 5).
• Secure the shutter clamp on each side of the lower part of the shutter, and secure to window sill using one 1/2 in.
(13 mm) 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 1/2 in. (13 mm) screw (See Fig. 6).
PLEASE NOTE: Window applications come in a variety of different styles. Therefore, it may be necessary to modify your
particular installation.
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Check that the air conditioner is tilted downwards to the outside, about 3° to 4°, as shown in Fig. 7. After proper installa-
tion, condensed water should not drain from the overflow drain hole during normal use. If you notice water leaking out,
check the angle of tilt, and make any necessary adjustments. However, on a very humid day, water leakage can occur –
this is normal.
Note: To achieve 3° to 4°, you must measure the H, see figure 7.
Measure the tilt angle from the cabinet’s edge. The distance H should be approximately 3/4 in. to 1 in. (19 mm - 2.5 cm)
for DAC060BEUWDB and DAC080BEUWDB. The distance H should be approximately 1 in. to 1 3/8 in. (2.5 cm - 3.5 cm)
for DAC120BEUWDB. Fig. 7 Measure the tilt angle from the cabinet’s edge

4. Installing the Energy Efficient Foam Insert
• After the unit is installed in the window, measure the width of the side curtain.
• If necessary, cut the foam insert down to the width of the side curtain.
• Slide the foam insert into the side curtain.
• Repeat for the other side. (See below)
NOTE: Apply the supplied weather-stripping where needed (cracks and spaces between the foam insert, window
kit and window frame).

POWER: Turns unit On/Off. NOTE: The unit will automatically launch the Energy Saver function when it is in Cool, Dry and
Auto modes.
IONIZER: The ionizer function will cause the air filter inside the unit to be negatively charged. Dust particles in the air are
naturally positively charged and will be drawn to the negatively charged air filter, ensuring your home remains as dust free as
possible.
ENERGY SAVER: Automatically cycles the fan on and off while the compressor is not in use. This function is available in Cool,
Dry, and Auto modes (onlyAuto-Cool and Auto-Fan modes). The fan will continue to run for 3 minutes after the compressor
shuts off. The fan then cycles on for 2 minutes at 10 minute intervals,until the room temperature is above the set temperature.
At this point, the compressor turns back on and cooling restarts.
CHECK FILTER / RESET FILTER: The adjacent indicator light will illuminate as a reminder to clean the air conditioner filter
(see page 12). Once the filter has been cleaned and replaced, depress the Check Filter button in order to resume operation.
SLEEP MODE: In this mode, the selected temperature will increase (when in cooling mode) by 1°C / 2°F one half-hour after
Sleep mode has been selected. The temperature will then increase by another 1°C / 2°F after an additional half hour. This new
temperature will be maintained for 6 hours before returning to the originally selected temperature. This ends the Sleep mode
and the unit will continue to operate as originally programmed. The Sleep mode program can be cancelled at any time during
operation by pressing the Sleep button again.
AUTO-TIMER: Used to initiate theAuto On/ Auto Off timer.
When the air conditioner is off (Auto-On feature):
1) Press the Auto-Timer button once and the adjacent Auto-On indicator light will illuminate.
2) Use the Temp/Timer control cursors to select a delayed ON time of up to 24 hours.
3) Select the appropriate mode under which you want the unit to operate (Auto-Cool-Dry-Fan Only).
4) Select the fan speed setting.
5) The time you selected will appear in the LED display.
When the air conditioner is on (Auto-Off feature):
1) Press the Auto-Timer button twice and the adjacent Auto-Off indicator light will illuminate.
2) Use the Temp/Timer control cursors to select a delayed OFF time of up to 24 hours.
3) The time you selected will appear in the LED display. TheAuto-On and Auto-Off timer features can operate during the same
program by defining the Auto-Off parameters immediately after the Auto-On parameters.TheAuto-Timer may be cancelled at
any time by turning the unit On/Off.
For example, if you want to turn the unit on one hour later, to operate for one hour and then stop, set Auto-On “1” and Auto-Off
“2”.
Note: This is a “one-shot” timer. It does not continue to cycle on and off. It will turn the unit on (if set by the user) ONE time.
It will turn the unit off (if set by the user) ONE time. If you require the unit to turn on/off again automatically, then you must set
the timer again.
