Usage
Being
exposed
to direct airflow for an extended
period
of time could be hazardous to
your
health. Do not
expose occupants, pets,
or
plants
to direct airflow for extended
periods
of time.
Due to the
possibility
of
oxygen
deficiency,
ventilate the room when
using together
with stoves or other
heating
devices.
Do not use this air conditioner for
non-specified special purposes
(e.g. preserving
precision
devices,

How to Install the Unit
To
prevent
vibration and
noise,
make sure the unit
is installed
securely
and
firmly.
Install the unit where the
sunlight
does not shine
directly
on the unit.
The outside of the cabinet must extend outward
and there should be no
obstacles,
such as a fence
or
wall,
within 20" from the back of the cabinet
because it will
prevent
heat radiation of the
condenser.
Restriction of outside air will
greatly
reduce the
cooling
efficiency
of the air conditioner.
CAUTION: All side louvers of the cabinet must remain
exposed
to the outside of the structure.
Install the unit a little slanted so the back is
slightly
lower than the front
(about 1/4").
This will force condensed water to flow to the outside.
Install the unit with the bottom about 30"~60" above the floor level.

you may
feel a
slight
resistance. This is normal.
FOAM SEAL AND WINDOW LOCK
?
Cut the foam seal
(ITEM F)
to the window width.

prevent
air and insects from
getting
into
the
room,
as shown in FIG.7.
?
Install the L bracket to
prevent

being
raised which
may
result in unit
falling.
NOTE: If window sash has a metal surface. use sheet
metal screws instead of the
provided
wood screws.
Obtain sheet metal screws at local hardware store.
IF AIR CONDITIONER IS BLOCKED
BY STORM WINDOW FRAME
?
If storm window
presents
interference,
fasten a
2"(51mm)
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 unit can be installed without interference
from the the storm window frame. See FIG. 8.
Top
of wood
strip
should be
approximately
3/4"(19mm)
higher
than the storm window frame to
help
condensation to drain
properly
to the outside.
?
Install a second wood
strip (approximately
6"(152mm)
long
by 11/2"(38mm)
wide and same
thickness as first

IMPORTANT
(PLEASE
READ
CAREFULLY)
FOR THE USER'S PERSONAL
SAFETY,
THIS
APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED
The
power
cord of this
appliance
is
equipped
with a
three-prong (grounding) plug.
Use this with a standard
three-slot
(grounding)
wall
power
outlet
(FIG. 10)
to
minimize the hazard of electric shock. The customer
should have the wall
receptacle
and circuit checked
by
a
qualified
electrician to make sure the
receptacle
is
properly
grounded.
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD
(GROUND)
PRONG FROM THE POWER PLUG.
A. SITUATIONS WHEN THE APPLIANCE WILL BE
DISCONNECTED OCCASIONALLY:
Because of
potential safety
hazards,
we
strongly
discourage
the use of an
adapter
plug.
However,
if
you
wish to use an
adapter,
a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION
may
be made. Use UL-listed
adapter,
available from most local hardware stores
(FIG. 11).
The
large
slot in the
adapter
must be
aligned
with the
large
slot in the
receptacle
to assure a
proper polarity
connection.
CAUTION:
Attaching
the
adapter
ground
terminal to
the wall
receptacle
cover screw does not
ground
the
appliance
unless the cover
screw is
metal,
and not
insulated,
and the
wall
receptacle
is
grounded through
the
house
wiring.
The customer should have
the circuit checked
by
a
qualified
electrician
to make sure the
receptacle
is
properly
grounded.
Disconnect the
power
cord from the
adapter,
using
one
hand on each.
Otherwise,
the
adapter
ground
terminal
might
break. DO NOT USE the
appliance
with a
broken
adapter
plug.
B. SITUATIONS WHEN THE APPLIANCE WILL BE
DISCONNECTED OFTEN.
Do not use an
adapter
plug
in these situations.
Unplugging
the
power
cord
frequently
can lead to an
eventual
breakage
of the
ground
terminal. The wall
power
outlet should be
replaced by
a three-slot
(grounding)
outlet instead.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of
potential safety
hazards,
we
strongly
discourage
the use of an extension cord.
However,
if
you
wish to use an extension
cord,
use a CSA
certified/UL-listed 3-wire
(grounding)
extension
cord,
rated at
15A,
125V.

Common Problems and Solutions
Common
Issues
Before
calling
for
service,
please
review the
following
list of common
problems
and solutions.
The air
conditioner
is
operating normally
when:
?
You hear a
pinging
noise. This is caused
by
water
being
picked up by
the condenser on
rainy days
or in
highly
humid conditions. This feature is
designed
to
help
remove moisture in the air and
improve
cooling
efficiency.
?
You hear the thermostat click. This is caused
by
the
compressor cycle
starting
and
stopping.
?
You see water
dripping
from the rear of the unit. Water
may
be collected in the base
pan
in
highly
humid
conditions or on
rainy days.
This water overflows and
drips
from the rear of the unit.
?
You hear the fan
running
while the
compressor
is silent or fan mode. This is a normal
operational
feature.
