WARNING!
Foryour safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock
or personal injurjz
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
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 ser\,ice
cords that have become flayed 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 OFFand unplug your air
conditioner before making any repairs
or cleaning.
NOTE: Westronglyrecommendthatanyservicing
be performedbya qualified individual
For your safety...do not store or use
combustible mamrials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the x,icinity
of this or any other appliance.
All air conditioners contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed
prior m product disposal. If you are getting
rid of an old product with refiigerants, check
with the company handling disposal about
what to do.
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
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.
DONOT use anadapterplug 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 fiom this appliance.
Power cord includes a current intermpmr
dex,ice. A test and reset button is prox,ided on
the plug case. The dex,ice should be tested on a
periodic basis by first pressing the TESTbutton
and then the RESErbutton while plugged into
the outlet. If the TESTbutton does not trip
or if the RESETbutmn will not stay engaged,
discontinue use of the air conditioner and
contact a qualified ser\,ice technician.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly _ounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encounmred,
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 indix,idual electrical
outlet which has a voltage rating that matches
the rating plate.
This pro\,ides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from
overheamd wires.
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical
Requirements section fbr specific electrical
connection requirements.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read these instructions completely
and carefully.
IMPORTANT - Savethese
instructions for local inspector's use.
• IMPORTANT - Observeall
governing codes and ordinances.
•Note to Installer- Be sure to leave these
instructions with the Consumer.
•Note to Consumer- Keep these
instructions for future reference.
• Skill level - Installation of this appliance
requires basic mechanical skills.
• Completion time- Approximately 1 hour
• We recommend that two people install

_ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
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.

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: Except for the V-support
assemblies (included), obtain all materials
locally for mounting the air conditioner
through-the-wall.
ITI 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.
L/_.tJ 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.
15
ITI 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.
Install the V-supports. See the INSTALL
THE CASE IN THE WINDOW section in the
Window Installation Instructions.
121FINISH 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.
