READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
All wiring must comply with local and national
codes and must be installed by a qualified
electrician. Check the available power supply and
resolve any wiring problems before installing and
operating this appliance.
This 115 V appliance may be used in any properly
wired, general purpose household receptacle.
The rating plate located on the right side of the
appliance just above the power cord contains
electrical and other technical data.
This appliance is not designed for “through the
wall” installation.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. Grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an
escape wire for the electrical current.
This appliance has a cord that has a grounding
wire with a 3-prong plug. The power cord must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or service agent
if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Do not connect your appliance to extension
cords or together with another appliance in the
same wall outlet. Do not splice the power cord.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the
third ground prong from the power cord. Do not
use extension cords or ungrounded (two prongs)
adapters.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similar qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

LOCATION
This air conditioner is designed for easy installation
in single or double hung windows. Since window
designs vary, it may be necessary to make some
modifications for safe installation.
This air conditioner is not designed for vertical,
slider type windows or “through the wall”
installation.
Ensure that the window and frame are structurally
sound and free from dry or rotted wood.
Install the air conditioner in a window on a side
of the building which favors more shade than
sunlight. If the appliance must be in direct sunlight,
it is advisable to provide a shade awning over the
appliance to ensure efficient functioning.
Do not install the appliance where leakage of
combustible gas is suspected.
This appliance is designed to evaporate
condensation under normal conditions. Under
extremely hot or humid conditions, excess
condensation may overflow to the outside. The
appliance should be installed where condensation
cannot drip on pedestrians or neighboring
properties.
Provide sufficient clearance around the appliance
to allow ample air circulation. The rear of the
appliance should be outdoors, it should not be in
a garage or another room. Keep the appliance
away from obstacles and at least 76 cm (30 inches)
above the ground. Ensure that curtains and other
obstructions do not block air flow to the appliance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
Cut the regular foam seal to fit the area of the
window sill that the air conditioner will rest on.
Place the air conditioner into the window with the
“L” shaped mounting bracket positioned in front of
the upper sash. The bottom of the cabinet should be
positioned on the recessed portion of the window
frame. Pull the upper window sash down until it
rests just behind the front flange of the “L” shaped
mounting bracket.
Expand the side curtains on each side and secure
the top of the frames to the window sash using one
13 mm (1/2 inch) screw on each side of the “L”
shaped mounting bracket.
Attach the clamps on the lower part of each curtain
to the window sill using one 13 mm (1/2 inch)
screw on each side of the cabinet.
Place the adhesive foam seal into the opening
between the inside and outside windows and
attached the safety lock to the outside window frame
using two 13 mm (1/2 inch) screws.

Check the Tilt Angle
The air conditioner should be tilted downward
towards the outside approximately 3° to 4°. This
tilt will encourage any condensed water to drain
to the outside. If any condensed water leaks to the
inside of the house, check the tilt angle and adjust
as necessary.
Measure the tilt angle from the front of the cabinet’s
edge. The difference in height between the front and
the back of the appliance, labeled “A” on the image
below, should be approximately 19 mm - 2.5 cm
(3/4 inch - 1 inch).
A
Install the Foam Inserts
The foam inserts can block any cracks or spaces
in the side curtains and help maintain the energy
efficiency of the appliance.
After the appliance is installed in the window,
measure the width of the side curtains from the side
of the appliance to the edge of the curtain.
If necessary, cut the foam insert to the correct size
and then slide the foam insert into the slots in the
side curtain. The supplied weather stripping can
be used to block any other cracks or spaces as
required.

set temperature based on the current temperature
where you are located to reach the most
comfortable condition and temperature.
Press the Follow Me button to activate the Follow
Me function. The remote will display the current
temperature at its location. The remote will send
a signal to the air conditioner every 3 minutes, so
long as you remain within range of the appliance.
The Follow Me light on the control panel of the
appliance will illuminate for 5 seconds every three
minutes to indicate that it has received a signal
from the remote. If the appliance does not receive a
signal from the remote during any 7 minute interval,
it will beep to indicate that the Follow Me mode has
ended.
The maximum distance for the Follow Me feature is
8 meters (26 feet). This feature is available in Cool
and Auto modes.
Sleep Function
The Sleep Function can be used to conserve energy
during sleeping hours.
When selected, the set temperature will increase
by 1°C/2°F every half hour for one full hour. The
appliance will hold the new set temperature for
6 hours before automatically returning to normal
operation.
The Sleep Function can be canceled at any time by
pressing the Sleep Button.
Energy Saver Function
The Energy Saver Function will automatically cycle
the fan on and off when the compressor is not in
use to minimize how often the compressor needs to
turn on. This function is available in Cool, Dry, Auto
Cool and Auto Fan modes.
The fan will continue to run for 3 minutes after the
compressor turns off. The fan will then cycle on for
2 minutes in 10 minute intervals until the ambient
temperature is above the set temperature, at which
point the compressor will turn on and cooling will
resume.
Ionizer Function
The Ionizer Function is a form of air purification that
negatively charges the air. Dust particles, pollen
and other particles in the air cannot pass through
the filter when they are negatively charged. This
ensures that the maximum amount of dust and dirt
are removed from the air. Additionally, the ionizer
function helps to remove unwanted odors from the
air.
