Air conditioners are designed for use in a doubb hung window or
through the wall installation only. {As applicabb in your model)
WhiJe installing unit be sure to tih air conditioner 5 degrees outward to
have the water drip outside the house.
Install the unit on the north side,as that is normally the shaded side. This
will enhance the operation of your unit.
The window has to be strong for installation. Extra brackets and/or
support may be required depending on your window. (Brackets and
supports not included in all models.)
Measure the window before installing, if the window is too big for the
unit you may require professional installation.
Use the correct ebctric voltage and proper ampere for the unit to run
effectively.
Only let a certified ebctrician modify your electricaJ outbt.
Use a dedicated line for the operation of your air conditioner to avoid
the possibiJity of an ebctrical surge.
• When installing your air conditioner, make sure to seal all areas where
there is a possibility of air bakage.
e The airflow should not be blocked, either inside by curtains, drapes or
furniture,or outside by shrubs or bushes.
o Do not needlessly usean electrical light or other appliances that
produce heat.
Keep the vent closed on the air conditioner when in the cooling function.
o Keep the blinds and drapes drawn on all other windows.
o WhiJe cooking,use an exhaust fan in the kitchen to remove the excess
heat.
• Always use the correct BTUsize air conditioner to cool the room to
attain optimum efficiency. S

1,Thermostat
This allows you to adjust the temperature of the
air--the lower the setting,the cooler the air
temperature. With this you can set the
temperature to your desired comfort level. You
can set the temperature between 61°F and 86°
F.
2.Fan Speed
With this you can control the fan speed aswell
as the A/C (cooling) speed.
You have 3 levels of A/C Speed to set at your
desired level. LO will circulate air at the lowest
velocity, MED at medium velocity and HIGH
will circulate at the maximum, velocity.You have
3 levels of Fan Speed to set at your desired
comfort level: HIGH, MED and LOW.
3. Function
Your air conditioner has 4 Functions.
a) COOL
Here the air conditioner will operate the

7.Slide Out Chassis
Your air conditioner becomes more versatile
with this feature. You have the option to install
the unit in a window or the wall.
8. Window Install Kit
This kit enables you to installthe air conditioner
in a double hung window. Extrabrackets or
support may be needed, depending on your
window.
9.Remote Control
This fully functional wireless remote allows you
to operate your air conditioner from a distance.
You need not get up to change the settings or
the functions, or to turn the unit on or off.
10.LED Display Electronic Control Panel

Control Panel lets you set the temperature to
the exact temperature you desire.
11 .Electrostatic Filter (not all models)
Being constructed of high efficiency purifying
substance, active carbon fabric, electrostatic
fabric, electrostatic active carbon net and other
materials, this air conditioner purifies the air
effectively. Its wavy structure increases the
capability to filter dust and smoke effectively.
Due to the retention of active carbon, it has
a high purifying speedcapable of strong airflow.
12. How The Unit Drains
On humid days with the air conditioner in use,
moisture may collect on the pan or the bottom
of the air conditioner. If the unit ispositioned
properly, the moisture will gather towards the
back of the unit.Thiswill not affectthe operation
of the unit and the moisture will evaporate in
time. Occasionaly the moisture will flow over
the back of the pan, but this will not affect the
operation of the unit. Never drift holes in the
pan under any circumstance.

Nor aJ Operating Sounds
The following sounds are normally heard during the operation of an air conditioner.
, Cool airflow movement as dictated bythe set fan speed.
*Water sounds. This is normal since your air conditioner also acts as a dehumidifier.
Thus you will hear water sounds from water drops falling on the condenser.
oAs the refrigerant flows through the inner sealed tubing, a rushing noise may be
Occur.
*Rattling or vibrating noises may be heard due to poor wall or window installation.
*High pitch compressor sound may be heard.
Operating Instwctions
The following are the operating instructions of your electronic air conditioner.

Measure the width between the
window moldings to ensure the Instant
Mount will fit the window frame,
Instant Mount models are designed
for windows wide (for details see
page 15)
The instant Mount kit supplied with
unitis designed for mounting in most
double-hung windows without
storm windows.For installation in
window frame with storm window,
modify sill by adding wood strips(not
included) to inner and outer sills, This
raises the unit and eliminates
interference of storm window frame.
Storm window installation
If storm window frame does not allow
adequate clearance below sill (1/2 _
required), remove storm window
frame or create clearance by adding a
wood strip (at least 1 1/2' wide) along
entire width of sill. Fasten wood strip
to sill with at least three countersunk
wood screws (noi supplied wiih kit)_
This provides a smooth surface for

Install sash bracket on fop of indoor window sash
with one wood screw 31/32' to prevent raising of
window from the outside. Screw the anchor directly
into the side of window frame. For hard wood or
metal window frames, drill a pilot hole to start the screw.
Important:Be careful not to drill the pilot hole too deep.
Add a piece of tape lo the drill bit as a depth gauge.
Also stay clear of glass. Be careful no1to damage the
function of the window.
Cut window seal gasket to width of window. Stuff window
seal strip between the outdoor window glass and the top of
the indoor sash. This will stop air leakage which reduces
efficiency.
RETURN
CHASSISTO THE
OUTER CASE
Find someone to help you replace
the chassis in outer case. Replace
front panel and grille,
Caution:
For security purposes, reinstall screws
at cabinet's sides, removed in step
one.
IMPORTANT:
Because the window sash helps keep
the unit in window, make certain the
window sash contacts the outer case
before reinstalling the chassis.

Wall |nsta|latians: slide-outchassisonly
Note: Removethe 2 shipping screwson the top of the air conditioner
that hold the chassisto the outer shell casing. Once removed,
thesedo not have to be re-instalbd. To ensure that your air
conditioner is properly installed in the wall, it is recommended
that it be installed by a certified technicianwho is familiar with
through the wall installations.
1) Using wood, 1" or more in thickness,build a wooden frame to fit the
casing/cabinet dimensions of the unit which you have purchased.
2) Measure the outside width and the height of the frame to determine the
cutout dimensions necessary for the opening in the wall. The depth of the
frame will depend on the depth of the wall. Thefinished frame must be set
in the inside wall. The frame has to be squared and leveled. Rememberthe
frame has to be nailed securely tothe wall studs. (See Fig. # 19)
Fig. # 19
3) Now to install, insert the casing into the wall opening. (Removethe
chassisout first following steps 1 - 6in Slide-out chassissection).
Make surethat the cabinet is at least 1/2" inch inside the room. Also the
side louvers should not be Blocked. This is to have proper air circulation in
and around the compressor. (SeeFig. # 20)
