HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety,
this appliance must be properly grounded.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Power cord includes a current interrupter device. A
test and reset button is provided on the plug case. The
device should be tested on a periodic basis by first
pressing the TEST button and then the RESET button
while plugged into the outlet. If the TEST button does
not trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged,
discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a
qualified service technician.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The air conditioner should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a
fire hazard from overheated wires.
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical
Requirements section for specific electrical connection
requirements.

An electronic thermostat is used to maintain the room
temperature. The compressor will cycle on and off
to keep the room at the set level of comfort. Set the
thermostat at a lower number and the indoor air will
become cooler. Set the thermostat at a higher number
and the indoor air will become warmer.
NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on
while set to a Cool setting or if turned from a fan setting
to a Cool setting, it may take approximately 3 minutes for
the compressor to start and cooling to begin.
Cooling Descriptions
For Normal Cooling—Select the Cool mode and High
or Med fan with a middle set temperature.
For Maximum Cooling—Select the Cool mode and
High fan with a lower set temperature.
For Quieter and Nighttime Cooling—Select the Cool
mode and Low fan with a middle set temperature.
Energy Saver Mode
This mode optimizes the cooling power of your air
conditioner, thereby saving you energy. Once the set
point temperature has been reached, the fan will cycle
off to save energy. The fan will cycle back on periodically
to insure all cooling capacity in the system is used. This
mode is the default mode for the unit. Each time the
unit is powered off, it will restart in Energy Saver mode
ON. The first time the unit is turned on, the settings will
be 70° and Low fan. You can adjust the fan speed and
temperature to your personal comfort.
Energy Saver ON—Helps minimize electricity use. It
is normal for the fan to cycle off and then back on in
this mode. This on/off cycle can repeat multiple times.
Because the fan will cycle off, you may notice a variation
in room temperature and humidity.
Energy Saver OFF—When this mode is not engaged,
the fan will run continuously, and in Cool mode the
compressor will cycle on and off to maintain room
temperature.
Fan Only Mode

to provide air circulation and filtering without cooling.
Since fan-only settings do not provide cooling, a Set
temperature cannot be entered. The room temperature
will appear in the display.
NOTE: Auto Fan Speed cannot be used when in the Fan
Only Mode.
Auto Fan Speed
Set to Auto fan speed for the fan speed to automatically
set to the speed needed to provide optimum comfort
settings with the set temperature.
If the room needs more cooling, the fan speed will
automatically increase. If the room needs less cooling,
the fan speed will automatically decrease.
NOTE: Auto Fan Speed cannot be used when in the Fan

instructions when installing this air conditioner.
Installation Air Conditioner
Instructions
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Some models require a 115/120-volt AC,
60-Hz grounded outlet protected with a
15-amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the
possibility of electric shock hazard. If the wall outlet
you plan to use is only a 2-prong outlet, it is your
responsibility to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Some models require 230/208-volt AC,
protected with a time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker. These models should be installed
on their own single branch circuit for best
performance and to prevent overloading
house or apartment wiring circuits, which
could cause a possible fire hazard from
overheating wires.
CAUTION
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
Do not change the plug on the power cord
of this air conditioner.
Aluminum house wiring may present special
problems—consult a qualified electrician.
TOOLS YOU WILL NEED
Phillips-head screwdriver
Ruler or tape measurePencil
Level Scissors or knife
Flat-blade screwdriver
Power cord includes a current interrupter device. A
test and reset button is provided on the plug case.
The device should be tested on a periodic basis
by first pressing the TEST button and then the
RESET button while plugged into the outlet. If the
TEST button does not trip or if the RESET button
will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the
air conditioner and contact a qualified service
technician.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Troubleshooting Tips... Before you call for service
Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.
Problem Possible Causes What To Do
Air conditioner does
not start
The air conditioner is
unplugged.
•Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed completely into
the outlet.
The fuse is blown/circuit
breaker is tripped.
•Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse
or reset the breaker.
Power failure. •The unit will automatically re-start in the settings last used after
the power is restored.
•There is a protective time delay (approximately 3 minutes) to
prevent tripping of the compressor overload. For this reason, the
unit may not start normal cooling for 3 minutes after it is turned
back on.
The current interrupter device
is tripped.
•Press the RESET button located on the power cord plug.
•If the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of
the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician.
Air conditioner does
not cool as it should
Airflow is restricted. •Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the
front of the air conditioner.
The temp control may not be
set correctly.
•On models with touch pads: In the Cool mode, press the
DecreaseźSDG
•On models with control knobs, turn the temperature knob to a
higher number.
The air filter is dirty. •Clean the filter at least every 30 days. See the Care and
Cleaning section.
The room may have been hot. •When the air conditioner is first turned on, you need to allow
time for the room to cool down.
Cold air is escaping. •Check for open furnace registers and cold air returns.
Cooling coils have iced up. •See “Air conditioner freezing up” below.
Air conditioner
freezing up
Ice blocks the air flow and
stops the air conditioner from
cooling the room.
•On models with control knobs, set the mode control at High
Fan or High Cool with the Temp at 1 or 2.
•On models with touch pads, set the controls at High Fan or
High Cool and set the thermostat to a higher temperature.
The remote control is
not working
The batteries are inserted
incorrectly.
•Check the position of the batteries. They should be inserted in
the opposite (+) and (–) direction.
The batteries may be dead. •Replace the batteries.
Water drips outside Hot, humid weather. •This is normal.
Water drips indoors The air conditioner is not tilted
to the outside.
•For proper water disposal, make sure the air conditioner slants
slightly from the case front to the rear.
