A. Cabinet louvers

The electrical ratings for your air conditioner are listed on the
model and serial number label. The model and serial number
label is located either on the side or back of the air conditioner
cabinet or behind the front grille.
Specific electrical requirements are listed in the chart below.
Follow the requirements for the type of plug on the power supply
cord.
NOTES:
■Do not use the power supply cord as an off/on switch.
■A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new
power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer

This air conditioner must be grounded. This air conditioner is
equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding
plug. The cord must be plugged into a mating, grounded 3 prong
outlet, grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the customer’s
responsibility to have a properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed
by a qualified electrical installer.
It is the customer’s responsibility:

Wall Installation

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. The finished frame must be set in the inside wall. The
frame has to be squared and leveled. Remember the frame has
to be nailed securely to the wall studs.

3 Now to install, insert the unit into the wall opening. Make sure
that 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.
4 The cabinet should be tilted 1/4” outside so as to drain the
excess dehumidified water.
5 Properly insulate any opening between the casing and the
frame.
6 Use external wall brackets if needed.
7 If needed,install molding around room side of cabinet.
Seal small openings around window with gum-type sealer.

Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the
best possible results.
This section explains proper air conditioner operation.
IMPORTANT:
■If you turn off the air conditioner, wait at least 3 minutes before
turning it back on. This keeps the air conditioner from blowing a
fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.
■Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the Cool mode when
outside temperature is below 61°F (16°C). The inside evaporator
coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not operate
properly.
NOTE: In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will
operate at the previous settings when the power is restored.

important for best cooling and operating efficiency. Check the
filter every 2 weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.
NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the filter in
place.
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Remove the air filter by opening the front panel and removing

When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear
sounds such as:
■Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a pinging or
clicking sound. The water droplets help cool the condenser.
■Air movement from the fan.
■Clicks from the thermostat cycle.
■Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window construction.
■A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the modern
high-efficiency compressor cycling on and off.
ChangingAir Direction
4-Way Air Flow:The air directional louvers let you control the
direction of the airflow to the desired direction.The airflow can be
directed up-down,left-right.
Vent:The Fresh air vent allows the air conditioner to recirculat
inside air,draw fresh air into the room and exhaust stale air to the
outside.
