Important Safety Information
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 230 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is not intended for use by persons,
including children, with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
Do not install the appliance where leakage of
combustible gas is suspected.
POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS
The power supply cord contains a current device
that senses damage to the power cord. To test the
power supply cord:
1. Press the TEST button on the power supply cord.
The RESET button will click and pop out.
2. Press the RESET button until it clicks into place.
3. The power supply cord is now supplying
electricity to the appliance.
Do not use this device to turn the appliance on or
off. Ensure that the RESET button is pushed in for
correct operation. The power supply cord must be
replaced if it fails to reset when the TEST button is
pushed.
2
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.

DIMENSIONS
This appliance is 42 inches (106.7 cm) wide, 16
inches (40.8 cm) high and 23.9 inches (60.6 cm)
deep.
WALL SLEEVE
All wall sleeves used to install the air conditioner
must be in good structural condition and have a
rear grille that securely attaches to the sleeve or the
flange of the sleeve to secure the appliance.
Install the wall sleeve according to the wall sleeve
installation instructions. When installing the sleeve
make certain there is nothing within 20 inches (50.8
cm) of the back of the appliance that would interfere
with heat radiation and exhaust air flow.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove the front panel. Pull out from the bottom
to release it from the tabs and then lift up.
2. Remove the shipping screw from the vent door.
3. Rotate the vent control lever to either open or
close the vent door. When the vent control lever
is set to “close”, only the air inside the room is
circulated. When the vent control lever is set to
“open”, outdoor air will be drawn into the room.
This can reduce heating or cooling efficiency.
4. Lift the appliance and slide it into the wall sleeve
until it is set firmly against the front wall of the
sleeve and secure with four screws through the
flange holes.
5. Reinstall the front panel. Place the tabs over the
top rail and push inward at the bottom until the
panel snaps into place.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WALL THERMOSTAT TERMINAL
Note: Using a wall thermostat is optional.
Important: Only trained, qualified personnel
should access the electrical panel on the appliance
and install electrical accessories. Contact a local
electrical contractor, dealer or distributor for
assistance.
Thermostat Wire Routing
Thermostat wire is field supplied. Recommended
wire gauge is 18 to 20 gauge solid thermostat wire.
Note: It is recommended that extra wires are run
to the appliance in case any are damaged during
installation. Thermostat wire should always be
routed around or under, never through the wall
sleeve. The wire should be routed behind the front
panel to the easily accessible terminal connector.
Pull the dip switch to the DOWN(OFF) position.
Insert the wire connector of the wall thermostat
into the relevant terminal according to the different
shapes as shown.
A: Dip switch
B: Terminal

Caution: Failure to follow this caution may result
in equipment damage or improper operation.
Improper wiring may damage the electronics.
Common busing is not permitted. Damage or erratic
operation may result.

FRONT DESK CONTROL
Note: Using the front desk control is optional.
The controller can handle a switch signal from
FC(L) and FC(N) input, called front desk control.
Input must be 24VAC. If the system does not receive
a 24VAC signal it will turn off; otherwise the
appliance runs in normal control.
The dip switch can control the front desk control
feature. If the dip switch is in the down position,
the appliance will turn off, otherwise it will run as
normal.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
• Use 4-way terminal for heat pump connection
only.
• Wall thermostat must be heating changeover
4-way valve.
• For thermostats that have only one fan speed
output (on or auto) the fan speed is determined
by how the terminal connector is wired. If
low fan is desired, wire the G output from the
thermostat to (LOW-FAN) on the appliance’s
terminal block. If high fan is desired, wire the
G output from the thermostat to (HI-FAN) on the
appliance’s terminal block.
• The range of set temperature of wall thermostat
must be in consonance with the range of dip
switch setting.
• Wall thermostat must be set the type properly in
consonance with the appliance type; heat pump
or no heat pump.
• If the wall thermostat has only one electrical
heater output, connect the two terminals of
HEAT 1 and HEAT 2, the appliance can operate
two electrical heaters (only if the appliance has
two electrical heaters). Otherwise operate one
electrical heater.
• Do not remove the control panel.
• If the appliance is being controlled by a wall
mounted thermostat, place the provided cover
over the control panel as per the below.
Note: When the display shows “LC” it means the
buttons on the control panel are not available and
the appliance should be controlled by the wall
mounted thermostat that it is connected to.

AIR FILTER
The air filter should be cleaned approximately every
2 weeks. The air filter may require more frequent
cleaning if there is significant dander or fur in the
air.
The air filter is located behind the front intake grill.
Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment
to remove any large debris or dust build up from the
air filter.
Wash the filter in lukewarm, soapy water, below
40°C (104°F), or use a neutral cleaning agent.
Rinse the filter with clean water and dry thoroughly
before reinstalling in the appliance.
Note: Do not operate the appliance without the air
filter installed.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
To avoid possible electric shock, ensure that the
appliance is unplugged before performing any
cleaning or maintenance.
The outside of the appliance can be wiped clean
with a soft cloth or with a lukewarm, damp cloth if
necessary.
Do not use gasoline, benzene, thinner or any
other chemicals to clean this appliance as these
substances can cause damage to the finish and
deformation of plastic parts.
Never pour water directly onto the appliance as this
will cause deterioration of electrical components
and wiring insulation.
