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.

ensuring that the double set of screw holes are
at the bottom and that the fins of the grille are
pointed away from the appliance.
3. Align the top of the grille with the top of the
appliance. The overhang on each side is equal.
4. If the appliance has not be pre-drilled, carefully
drill 4 1/8” holes through the grille and into the
side flange of the appliance approximately 1
1/2” - 2” from the top and bottom. Be careful
not to drill into the copper heat exchanger coils.
5. Install 4 #8 self tapping screws to attach the
grille to the appliance.
6. Insert the appliance into the sleeve.
7. Install the long seal between the wall sleeve and
the appliance. A flat bladed screwdriver or putty
knife is recommended.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This Class B digital apparatus complies with the
Canadian ICES-003 standard. CAN ICES-3 (B)
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Changes or modifications not approved by the
party responsible for FCC compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This appliance complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference.
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
REMOTE CONTROL BATTERIES
The remote control requires two AAA alkaline
batteries (included). Batteries should be replaced
when:
a) No sound is heard when attempting to program
the appliance.
b) The appliance does not respond to a command
issued by the remote control.
Battery replacement:
1. Slide the rear cover on the remote in the
direction of the arrow.
2. Insert two AAA batteries following the same
orientation depicted inside the battery chamber
(+/-).
3. Reinstall the rear cover.
4. If the remote control will not be used for
extended periods of time, the batteries should be

Notes:
• Protect the remote control from high
temperatures, and keep it away from radiation
exposure.
• Keep the control panel receiver out of direct
sunlight.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or
rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh,etc) batteries.
• The remote operates within a range of 8 meters
(26 ft.) from the receiver located inside the main
appliance. Any obstruction between the receiver
and remote may cause signal interference,
limiting the ability to program the main unit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FUNCTION INSTRUCTION
Operating Modes
There are four operating modes to choose from.
Press the Mode Button repeatedly to choose the
desired mode. The adjacent indicator light will
illuminate to show which mode has been selected.

grill. Grasp the filter by the center and pull up
and out.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush
attachment to remove any large debris or dust
build up from the air filter.
