which could cause a possible fire
hazard from overheating wires.
The power cord on these models
has a 230/208-volt perpendicular,
tandem or large tandem type plug
under certain conditions, we
strongly recommend against use
of an adapter plug. However, if
you still elect to use an adapter,
where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION

two-prong wall outlet by use of a
UL
listed adapter (Fig. 2) available at
most local hardware stores.

BEFORE USE
The larger slot in the adapter must
be
aligned with the larger slot in the
wall
;utlet to provide ~roper poltity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter
ground terminal to wall outlet cover
screw does not ground the appliance
unless cover screw is metal, and not
insulated, and wall outlet is
grounded through house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, always
hold the adapter with one hand.
If this is not done, the adapter
ground terminal is very likely
to break with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground
terminal break, DO NOT USE
the appliance until a proper
ground has again been
established.
Use of extension cords
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord.
However, if you still elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutely
necessary that it be a UL listed
3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord and that the current
carrying rating of the cord in
amperes be equal to or greater
than the branch circuit size
shown on the rating nameplate
of the appliance.

thermostat will automatically control
the temperature of the indoor air.
The higher the number selected, the
cooler the indoor air will become.
Freezing up
Outside air
temperature
dropping
If you notice that your air conditioner
is not cooling as it should, it may be
that ice has formed on the cooling
coils. The ice blocks air flow and
stops the unit from cooling the room.
This “freezing up” is a temporary
condition that most often occurs at
night when the Thermostat is set at a
higher number and the Selector is set
on LO COOL.
To correct the condition, set the
Selector at HI FAN or HI COOL
and move the Thermostat to the
warmest setting.

Timer Control
When you turn the Timer Control
to the MANUAL setting, the air
conditioner starts immediately and
operates continuously if the
Selector Switch is at any setting
other than OFF.
When used with the Delay
SttiStop Switch, the Timer
Control turns the air conditioner on
or off at preset times.
To delay the start of the air
conditioner anywhere from
1 to 12 hours.
1. Set the Timer Control for the
number of hours you want to delay
the start of the air conditioning
operation.
2. Set the Delay SttiStop Switch at
DELAY START.
3. Turn the Selector Switch to the
desired setting.
To stop the air conditioning
operation from 1 to 12 hours later:
1.
Set the Timer Control for the
number of hours you want the air
conditioner to operate before
shutting off automatically.
2. Set the Delay SttiStop Switch at
DELAY STOP.
3. Turn the Selector Switch to the
desired setting.

ENERGY SAVER
This switch controls the fan
operation.
NORM setting allows continuous
fan
function, circulating air even when
the compressor has cycled off
~nd the
thermostat setting has been reached.
This setting is recommended
for
maximum comfort.
SAVE setting lets the fan cycle on
and off with the compressor during
cooling. The fan stops when the
thermostat setting is satisfied. This
setting results in longer off time
and wider variations of room
temperature and humidity. This
setting is normally used when the
room is unoccupied.
OPEN VENT CLOSE
I
I
(ON THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE
OF THE DISCHARGE GRILLE)
Ventilation Control
When you move the Ventilation
Control to CLOSE, the vent door is
closed and only the air inside the
room will be circulated and
conditioned. Moving the control to
OPEN opens the vent door,
allowing a small amount of indoor
air to be exhausted from the room.
However, cooling effectiveness is
reduced when this control is set at
OPEN, so we suggest you don’t
keep it there
Iong+specially in
hot, humid weather.
For normal cooling
1. Set the Selector Switch at HIGH
COOL.
2. Set the Thermostat Control at
the desired number (usually 5-7 is a
good starting position).
If room
temperature is not satisfactory after
a reasonable time, set the
Thermostat Control at a higher
number for a cooler room or at a
lower number for a warmer room.
3. Set the Energy Saver Switch at
NORM position
for continuous fan
operation or at SAVE position to
automatically cycle the fan on and
off with the compressor.
4. Set the Ventilation Control at
CLOSE except for brief periods
when you want to exhaust room air
to the outside.
For maximum cooling
1. Set the Selector Switch at
HIGH COOL.
2. Turn the Thermostat Control
to
10.
3. Set the Ventilation Control at
CLOSE.
4. Set the Energy Saver Switch at
the NORM position.
For quieter operation
1. Set the Selector Switch at LOW
COOL position.
2. Slide the Thermostat Control to
the desired number.
3. Set the Ventilation Control at
CLOSE.
4. Set the Energy Saver Switch at
NORM position.
Note: When the Energy Saver
Switch is at the SAVE position,
changes in the sound level may be
more noticeable than when it’s at
the NORM position.
For nighttime operation
During the cooler evening hours, W(
recommend that you set the Selecto
Switch at LOW COOL for quieter
operation and the Thermostat
Control at mid-range (5 or 6). Set
the Ventilation Control at CLOSE
and the Energy Saver Switch
tit
NORM or SAVE position.
For extreme temperatures
For greatest economy and best
performance, we suggest you
set the Selector Switch
at HIGH
COOL in extremely hot weather.
To adjust air direction
Up and down
UP-AND-DOWN
AIR DIRECTION
The up-and-down air direction
louvers are controlled by fingertip
pressure on the louvers. They
regulate air discharge upward,
downward, or straight out.

Ener~-Saving Tips
● Keep the air filter clean.
● For most efficient cooling,
keep the ventilation control in
the CLOSE position except
when you want to exhaust air,
smoke or odors from the room.
● Don t let the room get too
hot. Whenever possible, turn the
unit on before the room heats up.
When heat is “stored up” in
walls,
furniture, rugs and draperies, your
air conditioner takes longer to
produce the desired comfort
condition.
● Keep windows and doors
closed. Cool, dry
air escapes
when they’re open.
● Keep furnace floor registers and
cold air returns closed. Cold air
can easily escape through them.
● Don’t let drapes or furniture block
the
top or front of unit and restrict
air flow when it is operating.
● It’s best to operate your air
conditioner at high speed during
extremely hot weather.
● Keep the outdoor condenser
coil clean.
● Turn air conditioner off before
vacations or extended absences
from home.

c Thermostat Control may not be set high enough.
Move the knob to a higher number. Highest
setting should provide maximum cooling. When
Energy Saver Switch is set at SAVE, temperature
range in room will vary more.
● Air filter dirty, should be cleaned at least
every 30 days.
● Room may have been very hot when air
conditioner was first turned on. Allow time
for it to cool down.
Q Cold air may be escaping through open
furnace floor registers and cold air returns.
● Ventilation control may be set at OPEN position,
allowing hot outside air to enter
the room.
● Cooling coils have iced up. To melt ice, move
the Selector Switch to FAN ONLY and the
Thermostat Control to a lower number.
● Thermostat click, a metallic sound, may be heard
when compressor cycles on and off. This is normal.
● Fan runs continuously when Selector Switch
is in COOL or FAN position. This is normal.
When Energy Saver Switch is set at SAVE, fan
cycles on and off with compressor.
● Excess water may overflow in extremely hot
and humid weather. This is normal.
● Air conditioner must be installed level or tilted
slightly to the outside for proper water disposal.
● This is normal for a short period in areas with
little humidity; normal for a longer period in
very humid areas. Moisture removed from
indoor air drains to rear of cabinet where it is
picked up by a fan and thrown against the
outdoor condenser coil.
