For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.
DONOT use an adapterplug with this appliance.
The power cord of fllis appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) ping which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall
outlet m minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard flom this appliance.
Power cord includes a cmTent intenupmr
device. A rest and reset button is provided on
the plug case. The device should be tesmd on a
periodic basis by first pressing the rESrbutton
and then tile RESErbutton. If the TESTbutmn

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
(_ Some models require a 115/120-volt a.c.,
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 a.c.,
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.
Do not install this air conditioner in a
window if the type C bolts do not contact
the window sill. See the Window Installation
Instructions in this manual.
TOOLS YOU WILL NEED
Phillips head screwdriver Adjustable wrench
Pencil Ruler or tape measure
Level Scissors or knife
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. If the TEST button
does not trip or if the RESET button will not stay

Through-the-Wall Installation InstructionsmOptional
The case may be installed through-the-wall
in both existing and new construction.
Read completely, then follow step-by-step.
NOTE: Obtain all materials locally for
mounting the air conditioner through-
the-wall.
[] IMPORTANT (cont.)
[] Secure with 14 wood screws anchored at
least an inch into the wall support structure.
NOTE: Drill pilot holes, if necessary, for
proper installation. If the frame is oversized,
use shims to prevent case distortion.
[] IMPORTANT
Through-the-wall installation is not
appropriate if any of the side or top louvers
in the case will be obstructed by the wall.
All side and top louvers in the case must
project on the outdoor side of the wall.
The room side of the case must project
into the room far enough to maximize the
balance of the unit.
The case must be installed level from side-
to-side and with a slight tilt from front to
rear. Use a level; no more than a 1/2 bubble
will be the correct case slant to the outside.
[]
[]
Lintel angle is required to support bricks or
blocks above opening.
Flashing is required and should extend the
length of the opening to ensure no inside
cavity leakage occurs.
Remove the air conditioner from the case.

Make certain that a wall receptacle is
available close to the hole location or make
arrangements to install a receptacle.
