IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock
or personal injury.
■ Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
■This air conditioner must be properly
installed in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
■Never unplug your air conditioner by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly
and pull straight out from the receptacle.
■ Replace immediately all electric service
cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. A damaged power supply cord
must be replaced with a new power supply
cord obtained from the manufacturer and
not repaired. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along its length
or at either the plug or connector end.
■ If the receptacle does not match the plug,
the receptacle must be changed out by a
qualified electrician.
■ Turn the unit
OFF and unplug your air
conditioner before making any repairs
or cleaning.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing
be performed by a qualified individual.
■ For your safety…do not store or use
combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
■ All air conditioners contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed
prior to product disposal. If you are getting
rid of an old product with refrigerants, check
with the company handling disposal about
what to do.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.

Through-the-Wall Installation Instructions—Optional
The case may be installed through-the-wall
in both existing and new construction.
Read completely, then follow step-by-step.
NOTE: Except for the V-support
assemblies (included), obtain all materials
locally for mounting the air conditioner
through-the-wall.
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.
For specific instruction, refer to the Window
Installation Instructions.
Make certain that a wall receptacle is
available close to the hole location or
make arrangements to install a receptacle.
Place the case in the wall opening and
place wood support strips between the case
bottom and the flashing on both sides of the
bottom rail. They should be the same height
as the bottom rail and the same length as
the wall opening.
1
FINISH THE WALL OPENING
Caulk all four sides on the outdoor side of
the case to prevent moisture from getting
through to the interior wall. Use of flashing
(drip rail) will further prevent water from
dripping inside the wall and down the
outside of the building.
Place the air conditioner into the case.
For specific instruction, refer to the Window
Installation Instructions.

INFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE DE SEGURIDAD.
LEA TODAS LAS INSTRUCCIONES ANTES DE USAR.
¡ADVERTENCIA!
Por su seguridad, se debe seguir la información en este manual para minimizar el riesgo de incendios,
descargas eléctricas o lesiones personales.
■ Use este electrodoméstico solamente para
el propósito determinado según se describe
en el Manual del propietario.
■Este acondicionador de aire debe instalarse
correctamente de acuerdo con las
Instrucciones de instalación antes de su uso.
■Nunca desenchufe su acondicionador de
aire tirando del cable eléctrico. Siempre
agarre firmemente el enchufe y tire de
él directamente hacia afuera.
■ Reemplace inmediatamente todos los
cables eléctricos que se hayan pelado o que
se hayan dañado de alguna otra manera.
Un cable de corriente dañado no debe
repararse, sino que debe ser sustituido por
uno nuevo que se adquiera del fabricante.
No use un cable eléctrico que muestre
evidencias de deterioro, o daños de abrasión
en su superficie en alguno de sus extremos.
■ Si el receptáculo no coincide con
el enchufe, un electricista calificado
debe reemplazar el receptáculo.
■ Apague la unidad y desenchufe
su acondicionador de aire antes de hacer
cualquier reparación o limpiar.
NOTA: Recomendamos enérgicamente que cualquier
servicio llevado a cabo en este equipo lo realice un
individuo calificado.
■ Por su seguridad… no almacene ni use
materiales combustibles, gasolina u otros
vapores o líquidos inflamables en la
proximidad de éste o algún otro
electrodoméstico.
■ Todos los acondicionadores de aire
contiene refrigerantes, los que por Ley
Federal deben ser removidos antes de
desecharlos. Si usted planea deshacerse de
algún producto que contenga refrigerantes,
póngase en contacto con la compañía que
se encarga de recoger su basura para que
le indiquen qué hacer.
PRECAUCIONES DE SEGURIDAD
Bajo ninguna circunstancia, corte o remueva
la tercera púa (tierra) del cable eléctrico. En pos
de la seguridad personal, este electrodoméstico
debe siempre conectarse a tierra.
NO use un enchufe adaptador con este
electrodoméstico.
El cable eléctrico de este electrodoméstico está
equipado con un enchufe de tres púas (tierra)
que combina con un tomacorriente estándar
de tres tomas de pared para minimizar
la posibilidad de una descarga eléctrica.
El cable eléctrico incluye un dispositivo para
interrupción de corriente. Se incluye un botón
de prueba y de reinicio en el dispositivo.
El dispositivo debe ponerse a prueba
periódicamente: primero se presiona el botón
de
TEST (prueba) y luego RESET (reinicio)
mientras se encuentra enchufado al
tomacorriente. Si el botón
TEST no se dispara
o si el botón
RESET no queda enganchado,
deje de utilizar el acondicionador de aire y
comuníquese con un técnico calificado.
Pida a un técnico que inspeccione
el tomacorriente y el circuito para cerciorarse
de que el tomacorriente está conectado a
tierra de la manera apropiada.
Donde exista un tomacorriente de dos tomas,
es su responsabilidad y obligación personal
hacer que dicho tomacorriente sea
reemplazado por uno de tres tomas con
conexión a tierra.
El acondicionador de aire debería siempre
estar conectado a un tomacorriente individual
con su circuito de voltaje correspondiente.
Esto proporciona el mayor rendimiento y
además evita que los circuitos del resto de
la casa se sobrecarguen, lo cual podría causar
incendios por el sobrecalentamiento
del cableado.
Ver las Instrucciones de instalación,
en la sección Requisitos Eléctricos para
los requisitos específicos de conexión.
