1. PREFACE
This SERVICE MANUAL provides various service information, including the mechanical and electrical
parts etc. This room air conditioner was manufactured and assembled under a strict quality control system.
The refrigerant is charged at the factory. Be sure to read the safety precautions prior to servicing the unit.
1.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. When servicing the unit, set the ROTARY SWITCH
or POWER SWITCH to OFF and unplug the power
cord.
2. Observe the original lead dress.
If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which
have been overheated or damaged by the short
circuit.
3. After servicing the unit, make an insulation resis-
tance test to protect the customer from being
exposed to shock hazards.
1.2
INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST
1. Unplug the power cord and connect a jumper
between 2 pins (black and white).
2. The grounding conductor (green) is to be open.
3. Measure the resistance value with an ohm meter
between the jumpered lead and each exposed
metallic part on the equipment at all the positions
(except OFF) of the ROTARY SWITCH.
4. The value should be over 1MΩ.

install one (such as a WATCO A-1) before venting
the FreonTM. Leave the valve in place after
servicing the system.
2. After discharging the unit completely, remove the
desired component, and unbraze the pinch-off
tubes.
3. Solder service valves into the pinch-off tube ports,
leaving the valves open.
4. Solder the pinch-off tubes with Service valves.
5. Evacuate as follows.
1) Connect the vacuum pump, as illustrated figure
18A.
2) Start the vacuum pump, slowly open manifold
valves A and B with two full turns
counterclockwise and leave the valves open.
The vacuum pump is now pulling through valves
A and B up to valve C by means of the manifold
and entire system.
3) Operate the vacuum pump for 20 to 30 minutes,
until 600 microns of vaccum is obtained. Close
valves A and B, and observe vacuum gauge for
a few minutes. A rise in pressure would
indicate a possible leak or moisture remaining in
the system. With valves A and B closed, stop
the vacuum pump.
4) Remove the hose from the vacuum pump and
place it on the charging cylinder. See figure
18B.
Open valve C.
Discharge the line at the manifold connection.
5) The system is now ready for final charging.
6. Recharge as follows :
1) Refrigeration cycle systems are charged from
the High-side. If the total charge cannot be put
in the High-side, the balance will be put in the
suction line through the access valve which you
installed as the system was opened.
2) Connect the charging cylinder as shown in figure
18B.
With valve C open, discharge the hose at the
manifold connection.
3) Open valve A and allow the proper charge to
enter the system. Valve B is still closed.
4) If more charge is required, the high-side will not
take it. Close valve A.
5) With the unit running, open valve B and add the
balance of the charge.
a. Do not add the liquid refrigerant to the Low-
side.
b. Watch the Low-side gauge; allow pressure to
rise to 30 lbs.
c. Turn off valve B and allow pressure to drop.
d. Repeat steps b. and c. until the balance of the
charge is in the system.
6) When satisfied the unit is operating correctly,
use the pinch-off tool with the unit still running
and clamp on to the pinch-off tube. Using a tube
cutter, cut the pinch-off tube about 2 inches from
the pinch-off tool. Use sil-fos solder and solder
pinch-off tube closed. Turn off the unit, allow it to
set for a while, and then test the leakage of the
pinch-off connection.
NOTES
If high vacuum equipment is used, just crack
valves A and B for a few minutes, then open
slowly with the two full turns counterclockwise.
This will keep oil from foaming and being
drawn into the vacuum pump.
2.4.3 CAPILLARY TUBE
1. Remove the cabinet. (Refer to section 2.1.2)
2. After discharging the refrigerant completely,
unbraze the interconnecting tube at the capillary
tube.(See caution above)
3. Remove the capillary tube.
4. Re-install the component by referring to notes.
CAUTION

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 SELECT THE BEST LOCATION
1.To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the unit
is installed securely and firmly.
2.Install the unit where the sunlight does not shine
directly on the unit.
3.The outside of the cabinet must extend outward for
at least 12" 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.
4.Install the unit a little slanted so the back is slightly
lower than the front (about 1/2"). This will help force
con-densed water to the outside.
5.Install the unit from the bottom about 30"~60"
above the floor level.
3.2 CHECK OF INSTALLATION
The setting conditions must be checked prior to
initial starting.
The undermentioned items are especially important
checking points when the installation is finished.
1. Grounding wire (Green or Green and Yellow) is
provided in the power cord. The green wire must
be grounded.
2. Connect to a single-outlet 15A circuit.
(or 20A circuit for Electric Heater Model)
3. To avoid vibration or noise, make sure the air
conditioner is installed securely.
4 Avoid placing furniture or draperies in front of the
air inlet and outlet.
3.3. HOW TO DRAIN
(When using drain pipe)
The air conditioner must be installed horizontally or
tilted slightly to the outside for proper water
drainage.
On exceptionally hot and humid days the air
conditioner may overflow conclensed water.
If the air conditioner is used in hot and a high
humidity zone, exchange the HOLE RUBBER
for the DRAIN PIPE.(See figure 20, figure 21.)
All side louvers of the cabinet must remain
exposed to the outside of the structure.

3.4 HOW TO INSTALL
SUGGESTED TOOL REQUIREMENTS
PREPARATION OF CHASSIS
1. Before installing the room air conditioner, please
install the knob. (If it is not fixed on the unit.)
2. Remove the screws which fasten the cabinet at
both sides and at the back.
3. Slide the unit from the cabinet by gripping the base
pan handle and pulling forward while
bracing the cabinet.
4. Slide the air conditioner into the case.
Reinstall the 2 screws removed earlier on each side
of the case.
CAUTION: The power cord must be connected to an independent
circuit. The green wire must be grounded.
5. Stuff the foam between the top of the unit and the
wall to prevent air and insects from getting into the
room.
6. Attach the front grille to the case by inserting the
tabs on the grille into the slots on the front of the
case. Push the grille in until it snaps into place.
When you detach the front grille from the case,
push the grille to your right side and pull it toward
you.
7. Lift the inlet grill and secure the front grille with a
screw. Lower the inlet grille into place.
(In case of some models, you can secure the front grille
from the right side or lower side.)

1. If you want to pull out the filter upward, open the
inlet grille slightly. Turn inside out the front grille.
Disassemble the inlet grille from the front grille
with separating the hinged part by inserting a "—"
type screw-driver tip.
Rotate the inlet grille 180 degrees and insert the
hooks into the lower holes of front grille.
Then, insert the filter (See Figure 30, 31)
2. Attach the front grille to the cabinet by inserting the
tabs on the grille into the tabs on the front of the
cabinet. Push the grille in until it snaps into place.
(See Figue 32)
3. Lift the inlet grille and secure it with a type A screw
through the front grille.
(See Figure 33)
4. If you want to pull out the filter downward, use the
reversible inlet grille without change.
(The grille is already assembled for that way.)
