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 nodh is best
because it is shaded most of the day.
• Do not block air flow inside with blinds, cudains, or
furniture, or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or
other buildings.
•Close the floor and wall registers and the fireplace
damper 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 pad of the day.
• Clean the air filter as recommended in the
MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
• Proper insulation and weather 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 pad of the day.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
To avoid installation difficulties, read instructions
completely before starting. This publication contains
important information for the installation and
operation of your room air conditioner. Your air
conditioner will install into standard double hung
windows with actual clear opening widths of 26 to
39-3/8 inches (660mm to lOOOmm) (FIG. 1).
Lower sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear
vertical opening of 12 inches (305ram). However,
some window frame design variations require
modificationto the window for safe, proper

HOW AND WHY
Your room air conditioner provides the following
functions to make hot weather living more
comfodable:
•Cools and circulates room air.
•Lowers humidity by removing excess moisture.
•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.
Your air conditioner is designed to be easy to
operate and to provide plenty of cooling power.
NORMALSOUNDSRG. 12
Aside from the regular fan motor and compressor
sounds coming from your air conditioner, you will
once in a while hear a pinging sound. This isthe
result of moisture being picked up from the air in the
room and thrown against the air conditioner's fan.
This is normal and should not be cause for concern.
Also, do not be alarmed if you hear a slight hissing
or gurgling sound coming from your air conditioner
after it is off. These are normal coolant noises.
CAPACITY AND RUNNING TIME
Proper unitsize isimportant 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.
At times using the MED 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 of use.
Compressor
The modern high efficiency
compressor may have a high
pitched hum or pulsating
noise that cycles on andoff.
Fan
You may hear air
movement from
the fan.
Unit Vibration --
The unit may vibrate
and make noise
because of poor wall
or window construction.
Condenser--
You may hear
droplets of water
hitting the condenser
causing a pinging or
clicking sound.
FIG. 12
NOTE : In humid weather, excess water may cause
the BASE PAN to overflow and be splashed on the
louver.
