About the Controls on the Air Conditioner
TURN THE AIR CONDITIONER OFF AND REMOVE THE PLUG FROM THE POWER OUTLET.
• TO CLEAN FILTER
The air filter will become dirty as it removes
dust from the inside air.
It should be washed at least every 2 weeks.
If the air filter remains full of dust, the air
flow will decrease and the cooling capacity
will be reduced, possibly damaging the unit.
1. Pull the inlet grille forward and pull out the
air filter. (Fig. 1)
2. Wash the air filter in warm 104°F (40°C) water.
Be sure to shake off all the water before
replacing the filter.
• CLEANING THE AIR CONDITIONER
The front grille and Inlet grille may be wiped with a
cloth dampened in a mild detergent solution. (Fig. 2)
The cabinet may be washed with mild soap or
detergent and lukewarm water, then polished with
Liquid Wax for Appliances.
To ensure continued peak efficiency, the condenser
coils(outside of unit) should be checked
periodically and cleaned if clogged with soot or
dirt from the atmosphere.
• HOW TO REMOVE THE FRONT GRILLE
1. Pull the inlet grille forward.
2. Remove the screw securing the Front Grille. (Fig. 3)
3. Push the grille up from the bottom and pull the top of the
grille away from the case to lift the top tabs out of their
slots. (Fig. 4)
Do not force open
or open too far

NOTE: All supporting parts should be secured to firm wood, masonry, or metal.
1. This unit is designed for installation in standard double hung windows with actual opening widths of
22" to 36". The upper and lower sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of 13"
from the bottom of the sash to the window stool.
2.If storm window presents interference, fasten a 2" wide wood strip (OUTER SILL) 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.
See Fig. 5-2. Top of 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 11/2" wide and same thickness as first strip) in
the center of the outer sill flush against the back off the inner sill. This will raise the Lbracket as
shown Fig. 5-2.
4. If the distance between STORM WINDOW FRAME and WOOD STRIP MOUNTED ON TOP OF
INNER SILL is more than 1", two of wood strip are not necessary.

b. Fasten the Lbracket using a (TYPE A) screw, as
shown in Fig. 12.
6. Window installation of room air conditioner is now
completed. See ELECTRICAL DATA for attaching

C. HOW TO SECURE THE DRAIN PIPE
In humid weather, excess water may cause the BASE
PAN to overflow. To drain the water, remove the
DRAIN CAP and secure the DRAIN PIPE to the rear
hole of the BASE PAN. (Fig. 13)
REMOVAL FROM WINDOW
Turn the air conditioner off, 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. Lift the air conditioner from the window and remove the sash seal from between the
windows.
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 15A, 125V.

Troubleshooting Tips save time and money!
Review the chart below first and you may not need to call for service.
Problem Possible Causes What To Do
■ The air conditioner is
unplugged.
■ The fuse is blown/circuit
breaker is tripped.
■ Power failure.
■ Airflow is restricted.
■ TEMP Control set too
higher number.
■ The air filter is dirty.
■ The room may have been
hot.
■ Cold air is escaping.
■ Cooling coils have iced up.
■ Ice blocks the air flow and
stops the air conditioner
from cooling the room.
•Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed
completely into the outlet.
•Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and
replace the fuse or reset the breaker.
•When power is restored, wait 3 minutes to restart the
air conditioner to prevent tripping of the compressor
overload.
•Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture
blocking the front of the air conditioner.
•Set TEMP Control to a lower number.
•Clean the filter at least every 2 weeks.
See the Care and Maintenance section.
•When the air conditioner is first turned on, you need
to allow time for the room to cool down.
