We strongly discourage the use of an adapter due to potential :safety h_ards.
For temporary connections, use only a UL-fisted adapter, available from most
local hardware stores. Ensure that the, large sbt in the adapter is aligned with
the large slot in the receptacle for a proper polarity connection.
To disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on each to avoid
damaging the ground terminal. Avoid frequently unplugging the p,ower cord as
this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage.

Proper clearance enhances the cooling efficiency of the unit and prevents heat
radiation of the condenser.
1. If a 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 by"the storm window frame.
2. See Figure. B. The top, of the wood strip should be approximately 3/4" higher
than the storm window frame (Storm Window Frame) or wood strip (Outdoors.)
to help condensation to drain properly to the outside
3. Install a second wood strip (approximately 6" long by 1 /2 wide and same
thickness as first strip,) in the center of the sill flush against the back off the
inner sil! This. wil! raise the L bracket as shown Figure, B,

Drain Pipe
In humid weather, excess water may
cause the Base Pan to overflow. To
drain the water, remove the Drain Cap
and secure tlhe Drain Pipe to the rear
hole of the Base Pan,
Press the drain pipe into the hole by
pushing down and away _o,m the fins
to avoid injury.
This air _nditioner is equipped with a
slinger fan. (See d_awin,g, below.)
The fan has an outer ring that runs in
the water that collects in the base pan
if it gets deep. That ._ndensate is then
picked up by the fan and expelled
through the condenser, making the air
conditioner more efficient.
CAUTION: Be careful when in.fling the drain pi_, Push arway from
the sharp fin area to avoid slipping injuring yourself.
Removal From Wind_
Turn the air _n,d[tioner off, disconnect the power _,rd, remove the L bracket, the
screws and Support Bracket insta]lied 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 ba_ward,
draining any condensate. Lift the air conditioner from the window and remove the
sash seal from between the windows.
Be sure to ,drain ALL condensate from the air conditioner. If you don't, litcould run
out while you carry the unit, making a mess and creating a slipping hazard. This
simple step will save you much cleaning and make a safer work environment.
