ENGLISH
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 insures proper grounding. If you have a two-prong receptacle you will need to have the circuit replaced
by a certified electrician with 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 is always 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 unobstructed. Your air conditioner puts the air out on the
right side of the unit, and takes in air on the left side. Airflow is critical for good operation. It is just as
important on 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
unit will operate even more efficiently. Using drapes or blinds on the sunny side of the dwelling will also
add to your unit's efficiency.
Insulation
Good insulation will be a big help in maintaining desirable comfort levels. Doors should have weather
stripping. Be sure to caulk around doors and windows.
