HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety,
this appliance must be properly grounded.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Power cord includes a current interrupter device. A test
and reset button is provided on the plug case. The device
should be tested on a periodic basis by first pressing the
TEST button and then the RESET button while plugged
into the outlet. If the TEST button does not trip or if the
RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the
air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The air conditioner should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a
fire hazard from overheated wires.

Troubleshooting Tips
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.
Problem Possible Cause What To Do
Air conditionerdoes not
start. The unit is unplugged. Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed completely into the outlet.
The fuse is blown/circuit breaker
is tripped. Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker.
Power Failure. The unit will automatically restart in the setting last
used after the power is restored.
There is a protective time delay (approximately
3 minutes) to prevent tripping of the compressor
overload. For this reason, the unit may not start normal
cooling for 3 minutes after it is turned back on.
The current interrupter device is
tripped. Press RESET button located on the power cord plug.
If the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue
use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified
service technician.
Air conditioner does not
cool as it should. Indoor airflow is restricted. Make sure there are not curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the front of the air conditioner.
The temp control may not be set
properly. Turn the temperature control to a higher number.
The air filter is dirty. Clean the filter at least every 30 days. See Care and
Cleaning section.
The room may have been hot. When the air conditioner is first turned on, you need to
allow time for the room to cool down.
Cold air is escaping. Check for open furnace registers and cold air returns.
Cooling coils have iced up. See “Air conditioner freezing up” below.
Air conditioner freezing up Ice blocks the air flow and stops
the air conditioner from cooling
the room.
Set the mode control to High Fan or High Cool with the
temperature setting as high as it can be set.
Water drips outside Hot, humid weather. This is normal.
Water drips inside The air conditioner is not tilted to
the outside. For proper disposal, make sure the air conditioner slants slightly from the case front to the rear.
Water collects in base pan Moisture removed from air and
drain into base pan. This is normal for a short period in areas with little humidity; normal for a longer period in very humid
areas.

■ You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown against the condenser on rainy days
or when the humidity is high. This design feature helps remove moisture and improve efficiency.
■ You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor cycles on and off.
■ Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity or on rainy days. The water may overflow and drip from the
outdoor side of the unit.
■ The fan may run even when the compressor does not.
■ Water droplets being thrown against the outside coils can make a pinging noise. This helps cool the condenser.
You can reduce this noise by removing the subbase water plug.
To ensure maximum efficiency it is recommended to check to ensure the rubber drain plug is properly inserted.
This plug may be removed during operation to minimize water in the back of the unit; however, removing it will
lower the efficiency of your unit.
NOTE: Do not drill hole in the base pan.
