INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Your air conditioner will install into standard double
hung windows with actual clear opening widths of
22 to 36 inches (558mm to 914mm) (FIG. 1).
Lower sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear
vertical opening of 13 inches (330mm). Side louvers
and the rear of the air conditioner must have clear
air space to allow enough airflow through the
condenser for heat removal. The rear of the unit
must be outdoors, not inside a building or garage.
ELECTRICAL SERVICE
Check your available electrical service. The power
supply available must be the same as that shown on
the unit nameplate (found on left side of cabinet).
All models are equipped with a 3-prong service plug to
provide proper service and safe positive grounding. Do
not change plug in any way. Do not use an adapter
plug. If your present wall outlet does not match your
plug, call a qualified electrician to make the necessary
corrections. SAVE CARTON and this OWNER'S
MANUAL for future reference. The carton is the best
way to store unit during winter or when not in use.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
Pick a location which will allow you to blow the cold air into
the area you want. Windows used for installation must be
strong enough to support the weight of the air conditioner.
Good installation with special attention to the proper position
of the unit will lessen the chance that service will be needed.
If air conditioner is blocked by a storm window frame, see
step 9 on page 7 before beginning to install.
HOW TO INSTALL
SIDE CURTAINS
Insert the side curtains into the upper and lower
guides of the air conditioner. Fasten the curtains to
the unit with screws (ITEM A), as shown in FIG. 2.
FOAM STRIP
Cut the adhesive-backed foam strip (ITEM D) to the
window width.
Remove the backing from the foam strip and attach the
foam strip to the underside of the bottom window. (FIG. 3)
LOCATING UNIT IN WINDOW
Open the window and mark center line with pencil
on the center of the inner sill, as shown in FIG. 4.
ATTACH L BRACKET
•Install the Lbrackets on the outer sill with the short
side of the bracket against the back of the inner
sill. Install one Lbracket 8" to each side of center
line. See FIG. 5.
•The bracket helps to hold unit securely in place.
Be sure to place bracket edge flush against back
of inner sill. See FIG. 5.
•lf air conditioner is blocked by storm window
frame, see step 9.
DRAINAGE
First, be sure to insert the drain pipe into base pan
before installation.
The air conditioner must be installed with a slight tilt
downward (see FIG. 8) for proper water drainage.
The air conditioner will drain the excess condensed
water through the drain pipe.

INSTALLATION
INSTALL THE AIR CONDITIONER IN THE
WINDOW
•Carefully lift the air conditioner and slide it into the open
window. Make sure the bottom guide of the air
conditioner drops into the notches of the Lbrackets.
•When the air conditioner drops into the Lbrackets, the
air conditioner will be centered in window opening as
shown in FIG. 7.
•While steadying the air conditioner, carefully bring the
window sash down behind the upper guide of the air
conditioner, as shown in FIG. 8.
SECURE THE GUIDE PANELS
Extend the guide panels (ITEM F) to fill the window
opening using 4 screws (ITEM B) to secure them, as
shown in FIG. 9.
INSTALL THE SASH SEAL AND SASH LOCK
•Cut the foam seal (ITEM E) to the window width.
Stuff the foam seal between the glass and the window to
prevent air and insects from getting into the room, as
shown in FIG. 9.
•Fasten the remaining Lbracket on either side of the
window using screw (ITEM A). See FIG. 9 inset.
Installing this bracket prevents window from being raised
which may result in unit falling.
•Remove the screws that secure the cabinet and base
pan in the right side.
•Attach the support bracket (ITEM H) in the inner window
sill with a screw (ITEM B), as shown Fig. 10.
IF AIR CONDITIONER IS BLOCKED BY STORM
WINDOW FRAME
•If storm window presents interference, fasten a 2" wide
wood strip to the inner window sill across the full width of
the sill. The wood strip should be thick enough to raise
the height of the window sill so that the unit can be
installed without interference from the the storm window
frame. See FIG. 11.
Top of wood strip should be approximately 3/4" higher
than the storm window frame to help condensation to
drain properly to the outside.
•Install a second wood strip (approximately 6" long by
11/2" wide and same thickness as first strip) in the center
of the outer sill flush against the back of the inner sill.
Screw the Lbrackets into this strip.
This will raise the Lbracket as shown in FIG. 11.
REMOVAL FROM WINDOW
Turn the air conditioner off, and disconnect the power
cord. Remove the Lbracket and the screws installed
through the top and bottom of the guide panels, and save
for reinstallation later. Close the guide panels. Keeping a
firm grip on the air conditioner, raise the sash, and
carefully tilt the air conditioner backward, draining any
condensate water. Lift the air conditioner from the window
and remove the sash seal from between the windows.
•Air conditioners covered in this manual pose an
excessive weight hazard. Two or more people are
needed to move and install the unit.
To prevent injury or strain, use proper lifting and
carrying techniques when moving unit.
•When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid
cuts from sharp metal fins on front and rear coils.
•Make sure air conditioner does not fall during removal.

OPERATION
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.
•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.
NORMAL SOUNDS
FIG. 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 is the
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 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.
At times using the HIGH 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.
Fan
You may hear air
movement from the
fan.
Condenser
You may hear
droplets of water
hitting the condenser,
causing a pinging or
clicking sound.
Unit Vibration
The unit may vibrate
and make noise
because of poor wall
or window
construction.
Compressor
The modern high efficiency
compressor may have a high
pitched hum or pulsating
noise that cycles on and off.

USING THE AIR CONDITIONER
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons, read the important
SAFETY instructions section before operating this
appliance.
To begin operating the air conditioner after
installation, follow these steps:
1. Plug in the air conditioner. (To prevent electrical
hazards, do not use an extension cord or an
adapter plug.)
2. Set the TEMP control to the lowest number.
3. Set the MODE control to the COOL.
4. Adjust the louvers for comfortable air flow with
control tab.
5. Once the room has cooled, adjust the TEMP and
FAN SPEED control to the setting you find most
comfortable.
NOTE : If the air conditioner is turned off, wait 3
minutes before restarting. This allows pressure
inside the compressor to equalize. Failure to wait 3
minutes before restarting may cause inefficient
operation.
If you move the TEMP control to a warmer, then
immediately back to a cooler setting, the
compressor will shut off, although the fan will
continue to run. Wait 3 minutes before restarting.
Review the DISPLAY section for other settings.
