Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.

Prevent Accidents
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your air conditioner,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen. This information
can be found on the serial plate, which is located on the side of the cabinet and behind the
grille.
If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to clean both
sides of the glass first. If the window is a triple-track type with a screen panel included,
remove the screen completely before installation.
Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to the
separate installation instructions provided with this manual. Save this manual and the
installation instructions for possible future use in removing or reinstalling this unit.
When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins on front
and rear coils.
The complete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner is stated on the serial plate.
Refer to the rating when checking the electrical requirements.
Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire hazards,
proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding
plug for protection against shock hazards.
Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If the wall
receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse
or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper receptacle.
Do not run air conditioner without outside protective cover in place. This could result in
mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

Provide occasional ventilation during use. Do not direct airflow at fireplaces or other heat related sources as this could cause flare ups or make
units run excessively.
Do not climb on or place objects on outdoor part of the unit.
Do not hang objects off the unit.
Do not place containers with liquids on the unit.
Turn off the air conditioner at the power source when it will not be used for an extended period of time.
Periodically check the condition of the unit’s installation accessories for any damage.
Do not apply heavy pressure to the radiator fins of the unit.
Operate the unit with air filter in place.
Do not block or cover the intake grille, discharge area and outlet ports.
Ensure that any electrical/electronic equipment is one yard away from the unit.
Do not use or store flammable gases near the unit.
Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can occur when handling sharp metal edges.
Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner. Exposure to water can destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock.
When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power and circuit breaker are turned off.

Energy Saving Ideas
Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with
shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and
satisfactory operation.
Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that faces
north is best because it is shaded most of the day.
Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape up
the chimney and into the duct work.
Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day.
Clean the air filter as recommended in the section “Care and Cleaning”.
Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm air out
and cool air in.
External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air
conditioner’s work load.
Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers
during the coolest part of the day.

Care and Cleaning
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug
the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is
necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation
of frost on the cooling coils.
Remove filter by sliding out from the right side.
Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter
thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is
thoroughly dry before replacing.
Or instead of washing, you may vacuum the filter clean.
Cabinet Cleaning
Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The
cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth
dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.
Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls.
Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
Plug in air conditioner.
Winter Storage
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from
the window according to the installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return
it to the original carton.

ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Now that you have mastered the operating procedure, here are more features in your control that you should become familiar with.
The "Cool" circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly.
This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. The fan will continue
to run during this time.
The control will maintain the set temperature within 2 degrees Fahrenheit, between 60F and 90F degrees.
There is a 2-Second delay for the compressor shutting down when selecting FAN ONLY. This is to cover the possibility of having
to roll through to select another mode.
After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to the same setting once power is restored.
AUGER WHEELS
(8-WAY)
Air Directional Louvers
Air directional louvers control air flow direction. Your air conditioner has the louver
type described below.
Auger Type
The louvers will allow you to direct the air flow Up or Down and Left or Right
throughout the room as needed. Rotate the Auger Wheels until the desired
Left/Right direction is obtained. Pivot horizontal louvers until the desired
Up/Down direction is obtained.

OCCURRENCE SOLUTION
Wall plug disconnected. Push plug firmly into wall outlet.
Plug Current Device Tripped. Press the RESET button.
House fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped. Replace fuse with time delay type or reset circuit breaker.
Control is OFF. Turn Control ON and set to desired setting.
