FOR YOUR SAFETY: Read these instructions carefully before operating the unit.
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.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 the FAN MODE only,
on HIGH, MED., or LOW setting. This circulates indoor air, providing some
cooling comfort, and utilizes less electricity than when operating on a cooling
setting.

Installation Instructions
CAUTION
Because the compressor is located on the controls side of the unit
(left side), this side will be heavier and more awkward to manipu-
late. Inadequate support on control side of the unit can result in

is recommended that you have someone assist you during the
installation of this unit.
TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION:
NOTE: Save the shipping carton and packing materials for future storage
or transportation. From carton, remove the plastic bag containing the
installation hardware kit necessary for the installation of your air
conditioner. Please check the contents of hardware kit against the corre-
sponding model check list, prior to installation of the unit. See Fig. 1.

injury, disconnect power to the unit

Installation Instructions

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 the basepan to overflow to the outside. The unit should
be installed where condensation run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or
neighboring properties.
