Prevent Accidents
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your
air conditioner, follow basic precautions, including the following:
•Be sure the electrical service isadequate for the model you have chosen
• If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to
cleanboth sidesof the glassfirst Ifthe window isatriple-track type with ascreen
panel included, you may want to remove the screen completely before
installation,
• Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according
to the separate installation instructions provided with this manual, Savethis
manual and installation instructions for possible future use in removing or
reinstalling this unit
• When handling the air conditioner, becareful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins
on front and rear coils.
Electrical Information
The complete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner is stated on the
serial plate. Refer to the rating when checking the electrical requirements.
•Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded To minimize shock and fire
hazards, proper grounding is important The power cord is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for protection against _hock hazards,
• Your-air conditionermustbe usedin aproperly grounded wall receptacle If the
wall receptacle you intend to use isnot adequately grounded or protected by a
time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper
receptacle
• Donot run air conditioner with outside protective cover in place. Thiscould result
in mechanical damage within the air conditioner
•Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
_- ,_,,
Energy Saving Ideas • The capacity of the room air conditioner- must fit the room size for efficient and
satisfactory operation
° Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home A window that
faces north is best because it isshaded most of the day
• Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with
shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
• Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape
up the chimney and into the duct work.
o Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the
day.
• Clean the air filter as recommended in the section "Care and Cleaning."
• Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm air out
and cool air in
• External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air
conditioner's work load.
•Operate heat producing appliances such asranges, washers, dryers and
dishwashers during the coolest part of the day

How and Why Your room air conditioner provides the following functions to make hot
weather living more comfortable:
. Cools and circulates room air
-Lowers humidity by removing excessmoisture
o Filters out summertime dust, dirt, and some airborne impurities
The air conditioner performs these functions by drawing room air through a filter
which traps dust and dirt particles, The air then passesover a cooling coil which
refrigerates the air and removes excessmoisture, The same air isthen returned to
the room-- cooler, drier and cleaner Moisture removed from the room air is
carried to the outside and evaporated.
Your air conditioner isdesigned to be easy to operate and to provide plenty of
cooling power
Normal Sounds
