ture mark _, (the mid-point is a good starting posi-
tion). If the room temperature is not satisfactory after

NOTE: Before using the ventilation feature, make a ventilation kit.
First, pull down part @ to horizontal line with part ®.
TO CONTROL AIR DIRECTION
The direction of air can be controlled wherever you want to cool by adjusting the horizontal louver and
the vertical louver
• HORIZONTAL AIR-DIRECTION CONTROL
The horizontal air direction is adjusted by
rotating the vertical iouver right or left
• VERTICAL AIR-DIRECTION CONTROL
The vertical air direction is adjusted by rotating the horizontal
louver forward or backward.
• HORIZONTAL AiR-DIRECTION CONTROL(For R1404)
To control horizontal direction of air flow, set to the ON position
the air-swing switch and the air flow will be swept horizontally by
the automatic air-swing system.
If you want to stop the air flow from moving, switch off the air
swing switch at the desired position of the vane.
HOW TO SECURE THE DRAIN PIPE
In humid weather, excess water may cause the
BASE PAN tO overflow. To drain the water,
remove the DRAIN CAP and secure the DRAIN
PIPE to the rear hole of the BASE PAN. Drain pipe

AIR FILTER CLEANING
The air filter should be checked at least twice a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped
particles in the filter will build up and block the airflow. This reduces the cooling capacity and also
causes an accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.
1. Open the inlet grille upward by pulling out the bottom of the inlet grille.
2. Remove the air filter from the front grille assembly by pulling the air filter up slightly.
3. Wash the filter using lukewarm water below 40°C(104°F).
4. Gently shake the excess water from the filter completely. Replace the filter.
HOW TO USE THE REVERSIBLE INLET GRILLE
The grille is designed to clean the filter both upward and downward.
®
(a) (b) <c)
A. Before attaching the front grille to the cabinet, if you want to pull out the fil-
ter upward;
1. Open the inlet grille slightly (a).
2. Turn inside out the front grille (a).
3. Disassemble the inlet grille from the front grille with separating the hinged part by inserting a
straight type screw-driver tip (b).
4. Then, rotate the inlet grille 180 degrees and insert the hooks into bottom holes of the front grille.
5. Insert the filter and attach the front grille to the cabinet.
B. If you want to pull out the filter downward;
The grille is already designed that way.

2. Is the air filter clogged with dust?
3. Is the air flow from the outside(condensers) obstructed?
Leave a clearance of over 1 meter(3.28 feet) between the back of the air conditioner and the wall or
fence behind it.
4. Are the door or windows open, or is there any source of heat in the room?
NOTE: If it is difficult to find out the cause of the trouble, be sure to turn the air conditioner off and
contact the dealer.
• OFF-SEASON MAINTENANCE

I
SELECT THE BEST LOCATION
1. To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the
unit is installed securely and firmly
2. Install the unit where the sunlight does not
shine directly on tlhe unit.
3. The outside of the _binet must extend
outward for at least 12" and there should be
no obstacles, such as a fence or wall, within
20" from the back of the cabinet because it will
prevent heat radiation of the condenser.
Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce
the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.
CAUTION: All side louvers of the cabinet must
remain exposed to the outside of the structure.
WINDOW REQUIREMENTS
1, This unit is designed for installation in
standard double hung windows with actual
opening widths from 27" to 39",
The top and bottom window sash must open
sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of
16" from the bosom of the upper sash to the
window stool
INSTALLATION KITS CONTENTS
2. Install the unit a little slanted so the back is
slightly lower than the front(about i/2").
This will force condensed water to flow to the
outside,
3 Install the unit with the bottom about 30"_60"
above the floor level,

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
IMPORTANT
(PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)
FOR THE USER'S PERSONAL
SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED
Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
discourage the use of an adapter plug. However,
if you wish to use an adapter, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made. Use UL-listed
adapter, available from most local hardware
store(Fig. 14). The large slot in the adapter must
be aligned with the large slot in the receptacle to
assure a proper polarity connection.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a three-prong(grounding) plug. Use this with
a standard three-slot(grounding) wall power
outlet(Fig. 13) to minimize the hazard of electric
shock. The customer should have the wall
receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
PREFERREDMETHOD Fig. 13
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE
THIRD(GROUND) PRONG FROM THE
POWER PLUG.
A. SITUATIONS WHERE THE APPLIANCE
WILL BE DISCONNECTED ONLY
OCCASIONALLY:
TEMPORARYMETHOD _Fig. 14
Adapterplug-_ _1
I'_ Metalscrew
J Receptacle cover
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal
to the wall receptacle cover screw does not
ground the appliance unless the cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle
is grounded through the house wiring.
The customer should have the circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
Disconnect the power cord from the adapter,
using one hand on each. Otherwise, the adapter
ground terminal might break. DO NOT USE the
appliance with a broken adapter plug.
B. SITUATIONS WHERE THE APPLIANCE
WILL BE DISCONNECTED OFTEN.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations.
Unplugging the power cord frequently can lead to
an eventual breakage of the ground terminal.
The wall power outlet should be replaced by a
three-slot(grounding) outlet instead.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
discourage the use of an extension cord.
However, if you wish to use an extension cord,
use a CSA certified/UL-listed 3-wire(grounding)
extension cord, rated 15A, 125V.
