Introduction
Before Operating Your Unit
Make sure the wiring is adequate for your unit.
If you have fuses, they should be of the time delay type. Before you install or relocate this unit, be sure that
the amperage rating of the circuit breaker or time delay fuse does not exceed the amp rating listed in figure 1.
DO NOT use an extension cord.
The cord provided will carry the proper amount of electrical power to the unit; an extension cord will not.
Make sure that the receptacle is compatible with the wall plug provided.
This insuresproper grounding. If you have a two-prong receptacle you will need to have the circuit replaced
by a certified electricianwith a grounded circuit that meets all national and local codes and ordinances. You
must use the three-prong plug furnished with the air conditioner.

For the Best Cooling Performance and Energy Efficiency
Keep the filter clean
Make sure that your air conditioner isalways in top performing condition by cleaning the filter regularly.
Instructions for removing and cleaning the filter can be found on page 7.
Provide good airflow
Make sure that the airflow to and from the unit is clear. Your air conditioner puts the air out at the top of
the unit, and takes in air atthe bottom. Airflow iscritical for good operation. It isjust as importanton the
outside of the building that the airflow around the unit exterior is not blocked.
Unit Placement
If your air conditioner can be placed in a window or a wall that is shaded by a tree or another building,the
unitwill operate even moreefficiently. Using drapes or blinds on the sunny side of the dwelling will also
add to your unit's efficiency.
/nsu/ation
Good insulation will be a big help in maintaining desirable comfort levels. Doors should haveweather
stripping. Be sure to caulk around doors and windows.

How to Install the Unit
1.To prevent vibration and excess noise,
make sure the unitis installed securely
and firmly
2. Install the unitwhere the sunlight does not
shinedirectly on the unit.
3.The outside of the cabinet must extend
outward for at least 12"and there should
be no obstacles, such as a fence or wall,
within 20"from the back of the cabinet, as
itwill prevent heat radiation of the
condenser.
Restriction ofoutside air will greatly reduce
the cooling efficiencyof theair conditioner.

Fence
CAUTION: All side louvers of the cabinet must remain exposed and unobstructed to the outside ofthe
structure.
4. Install the unitwith a rear, downward slope, so the back is slightly lower than the front
