with this Window Air Conditioner.
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.
Eco Mode
Controls the fan.
ON—The fan will cycle on and off with the compressor.
This may result in wider variations of room temperature
and humidity. NOTE: the fan may continue to run

Care and Cleaning
Grille and Case
Turn the air conditioner off and remove the plug from the
wall outlet before cleaning.
To clean, use water and a mild detergent. Do not use
bleach or abrasives.
Air Filter
The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and
cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if necessary.

the top upper corners of the inlet grille until the grille is in
a 45º position. Remove the filter.
Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the
filter dry before replacing it. Do not clean the filter in a
dishwasher.
CAUTION
DO NOT operate the air conditioner
without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce
performance.
Outdoor Coils
The coils on the outdoor side of the air conditioner should
be checked regularly. If they are clogged with dirt or soot,
they may be professionally cleaned.
How to Insert the Battery in the Remote Control
1. Remove the screw on the back of the battery cover.

1. WINDOW REQUIREMENTS
• These instructions are for a standard
double-hung window. You will need to modify
them for other types of windows.
• The air conditioner can be installed without the
side curtain panels if needed to fit in a narrow
window. See the window opening dimensions.

wood, masonry or metal.
• The electrical outlet must be within reach of
the power cord.
• Follow the dimensions in the table and
illustration for your model.
2. STORM WINDOW REQUIREMENTS
A storm window frame will not allow the air
conditioner to tilt toward the outside, and will
keep it from draining properly. To adjust for this,
attach a piece of wood to the sill.

the fuse or reset the breaker.
Power Failure. The unit will automatically restart in the setting 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 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.
Indoor airflow is restricted. Make sure there are not curtains, blinds or furniture
blocking the front of the air conditioner.
The temp control may not be set
properly.
Turn the temperature control to a higher number.
The air filter is dirty. Clean the filter at least every 30 days. See 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. 6HH³$LUFRQGLWLRQHUIUHH]LQJXS´EHORZ
Air conditioner freezing up Ice blocks the air flow and stops
the air conditioner from cooling
the room.
Set the mode control to High Fan or High Cool with the
temperature setting as high as it can be set.
Water drips outside Hot, humid weather. This is normal.
Water drips inside The air conditioner is not tilted to
the outside.
For proper disposal, make sure the air conditioner
slants slightly from the case front to the rear.
Water collects in base pan Moisture removed from air and
drain into base pan.
This is normal for a short period in areas with little
humidity; normal for a longer period in very humid
areas.
