Safety
Instructions
Important Safety
Instructions
Read all instructions before using this air conditioner.
For Your Safety
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.
Prevent Accidents
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your air
conditioner, follow basic precautions, including the following:
• Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen.
•If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to
clean both sides of the glass first. If the window is a triple-track type with a
screen panel included, you may want to remove the screen completely before
installation.
•Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to
the separate installation instructions provided with this manual. Save this
manual. Save this manual and installation instructions for possible future use in
removing or reinstalling this unit.
•When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins
on front and rear coils.
Electrical Information
The complete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner is stated on the
serial plate. Refer to the rating when checking the electrical requirements.
•Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire
hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.
• Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If
the wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or
protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician
install the proper receptacle.
•Do not run air conditioner with outside protective cover in place. This could
result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
Energy Saving Ideas •The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and
satisfactory operation.
•Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that
faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.
•Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with
shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
•Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape
up the chimney and into the duct work.
•Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the
day.
•Clean the air filter as recommended in the section “Care and Cleaning.”
• Proper insulation and water stripping in your home will help keep warm air out
and cool air in.
• External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air
conditioner’s work load.
•Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and
dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.
Avoid fire hazard or
electric shock. Do not use an extension
cord or an adaptor plug. Do not remove
any prong from the power cord.

Product
Information
How and Why Your room air conditioner provides the following functions to make hot weather
living more comfortable:
• Cools and circulates room air.
•Lowers humidity by removing excess moisture. High moisture levels may
cause the air conditioner to drip excess moisture outside.
• Filters out summertime dust, dirt, and some airborne impurities.
The air conditioner performs these functions by drawing room air through a filter
which traps dust and dirt particles. The air then passes over a cooling coil which
refrigerates the air and removes excess moisture. The same air is then returned to
the room — cooler, drier and cleaner. Moisture removed from the room air is carried
to the outside and evaporated. This moisture may form ice on the inside coil if the
outside temperature is below 65 degrees. Setting the air conditioner on HI, FAN
ONLY will defrost the coil.
Your air conditioner is designed to be easy to operate and to provide plenty of
cooling power. Your air conditioner is also more efficient than (most) older models
and may run longer to cool the room, but will use less energy due to igher energy
efficiency ratings.
Capacity and
Running Time
Proper unit size is important in deciding the desired comfort for the area you want
to cool. The proper size is determined by the number of square feet in the area to
be cooled.
Whenever the heat or humidity load is above normal the air conditioner must run
longer and more often to keep the desired temperature you have selected. Under
heavy heat load conditions the air conditioner may need to run constantly to keep
the temperature you want. Allow some time to cool the room if the air conditioner
was recently turned on. Using the “AUTO START” feature will allow you to start
cooling the room prior to returning home.
At times using the HI Fan setting to circulate the room air may make it comfortable
even though you do not have the air conditioner set to cool the air. This will
decrease your cost to use.
Normal Sounds High Pitched Chatter
Today’s high efficient
compressors may have a
high pitched chatter during
the cooling cycle.
Vibration
Unit may vibrate and make
noise because of poor wall
or window construction or
incorrect installation.
Pinging or Swishing
Droplets of water hitting
condenser during normal
operation may cause
“pinging or swishing”
sounds.
Gurgle/Hiss
“Gurgling or hissing”
noise may be heard due to refrigerant
passing through evaporation during normal
operation.
Sound of Rushing Air
At the front of the unit,
you may hear the sound
of rushing air being moved
by the fan.
Thermostat Clicking
Sound
As cooling systems cycle on
and off, you may hear a
“clicking” sound.

ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Now that you have mastered the operating procedure, here are more features in your control that you should become familiar
with.
•Remote control works exactly like the control panel, follow the same instructions.
•The “Cool “ circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents
overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. The fan will continue to run during this time.
• The control will maintain the set temperature within 2 degrees Fahrenheit, between 60F and 90F degrees.
•Any sudden power failure will cause the letters “PF” to flash in the display. Touching any pad twice will restore the unit to
the previous function chosen.
Fresh Air Vent Control
The Fresh Air Vent allows the air conditioner to recirculate inside air (OFF), draw
air into the room (FRESH AIR) or exhaust stale air to the outside (VENT). See Figures
1, 2 & 3 for this operation.
•The “OFF” position is used when MAXIMUM cooling is desired. It may also be
for room air re-circulation without cooling when the selector switch is set to the
FAN position, this will also filter the room air.
•The FRESH AIR position allows outside air to be drawn into the room to refresh
the inside room air.
•The VENT position removes stale air from the room and exhausts it to the
outside.
•Any vent position can be used with any fan selection.

Maintenance
Routine Maintenance Winter Storage
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from
the window according to the installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return
it to the original carton. NOTE: To prevent rust or electrical connections from
being damaged, store air conditioner in an upright position and a dry place.
A winter cover can be purchased from your dealer. The cover will protect the air
conditioner when it is left in place through the winter.
Before performing any service, unplug the power cord from
the electrical outlet.
After servicing, reverse the following procedures to reinstall the air conditioner.
Cleaning the Cabinet Front
Remove the front panel. Wash with warm, sudsy water. Rinse and dry with a soft
cloth. Never use solvents, cleaning fluids, abrasive cleaners or strong detergents. If
the packaging leaves a gum residue, remove with a cloth dipped in rubbing alcohol.
Repairing Paint Damage
Inspect weather-exposed parts (cabinet shell, mounting hardware, if used, etc.)
once or twice a year, especially in areas near oceans or where rust is a problem. If
needed, touch up with a good grade of exterior paint.
Cleaning Inside the Air Conditioner
No liquid should get into the motor, electrical control box, or
compressor electrical terminals.
1. Remove front panel.
2. With help and using the proper lifting methods to avoid personal injury, remove
the chassis from cabinet shell.* When removing the air conditioner from cabinet
shell or window, there may be water inside the base that may spill on the floor.
Be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins on the front and rear coils.
3. Liquids should not get into electrical parts. Warp the fan motor, electrical control
box, and electrical terminals in plastic. This will keep water or other liquid from
getting inside where it could damage the insulation and cause serious trouble.
4. Clean and hose out base, coils, and water pans. Clean at least once a year or
more often if the coils and pans collect dirt, sand, leaves, algae, or insects.
5. After cleaning, remove plastic protection. Wait 24 hours before starting the unit
again. This allows time for all areas to dry out.
NOTE: Water from rainfall or from normal use does not harm these components
since the water is not as forcefully driven into parts as a stream of water from a
garden hose.
*HANDLE NOTE: If the air conditioner has a chassis handle, it is NOT intended for lifting
the unit. It is for sliding the chassis WITHIN the cabinet shell only (to aid in cleaning,
maintenance, etc.).
