All safety messages will directly follow the safety alert symbol and/or the words
“DANGER” or “WARNING”.
Failure to immediately follow these
instructions may cause serious injury
or even death.
All Safety messages alert you of potential hazards, how to reduce the chance of injury,
and what can happen if instructions are not followed correctly.
• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
• Do not remove the ground prong.
• Do not use a plug adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Unplug the air conditioner before servicing
• Use two or more people to move and install the air

Wiring Requirement
Recommended Ground Method
For your personal safety, this air conditioner must be grounded. This air conditioner is equipped with a 3 prong power
supply cord with a grounded plug. To minimize the possibility of electrical shock, the cord must be plugged into a 3 prong
outlet and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a 3 prong outlet is not available, it is the cus-
tomer’s responsibility to have a properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
LCDI Power Cord and Plug
This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) power cord and plug as
required by US National Electric Code 440.65. This cord consists of a length of shielded flexible cord with no termination
on the load side and a LCDI attachment plug on the line side.
The LCDI power cord and plug will remove the supply source via electrical disconnect (circuit trip) if the nominal current
leakage between the cord shield and either load conductor exceeds a predetermined value. The cord will remain de-
energized until the devise has been manually reset. This is intended to reduce the risk of a fire in the power cord or
combustible materials nearby. The cord shields are not grounded and they must be considered a shock hazards if
exposed. The cord shield must not be connected to ground or to any exposed metal.
The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if
the plug is functioning properly. To test the plug:
1. Plug power cord into a wall outlet
2. Press the TEST Button, the circuit should trip and cut all
power to the air conditioner
3. Press the RESET button for use
If a test is performed and the indicator light remains ON, the
current leakage has been detected. Do not use the air
conditioner or attempt to reset the LCDI Plug. Contact Customer
Service for troubleshooting recommendations.

INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Window Preparation
Please read all instructions prior to installing your air conditioner. Two people are recommended to install this product. If
a new electrical outlet is required, have the outlet installed by a qualified electrician before installing the unit.
Before installing the unit, check the dimensions of your window to make sure the air conditioner will fit. This unit is made
to fit inside a standard double-hung window. Make sure the window is in good shape and able to firmly hold the needed
screws. If not, make repairs prior to installing the unit.
Storm Window Requirements
A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to tilt properly which in turn will keep it from draining properly. To
adjust for this, attach a board or piece of wood to the sill. The board or wood piece should have a depth of at least 1 1/2”.
Make sure the board or piece of wood is approximately 1/2” higher than the storm window frame. This will allow the air
conditioner to tilt enough for proper drainage. (See FIG. 1).
Prior to Installing the Air Conditioner
1. Check for anything that could block airflow. Check the area outside of the window for things such as shrubs, trees, or
awnings. Check the inside area to make sure curtains, drapes, or blinds will not prevent proper airflow.
2. Check the available electrical outlet. The power supply must be the same as shown on the unit serial nameplate
(located on the left side of the unit, near the front faceplate). Be sure the outlet is close enough for the power cord to
reach.
3. Carefully unpack the air conditioner. Remove all packing material and make sure the floor is protected when remov-
ing. Due to the large size of this air conditioner, two people should move the unit together.
