IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
PURCHASE INFORMATION
Before installing and using your air conditioner, please read this owner’s manual carefully. Store this manual in a
safe place for future reference. Your safety and the safety of others is very important to us. Please pay attention to
all safety messages outlined in this owner’s manual.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using your air conditioner, follow these basic
precautions:
• 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
conditioner.
This is a safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can harm you or others or even cause death.
All safety messages will directly follow the safety alert symbol and/or the words “DANGER”
or “WARNING.”
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.
Failure to immediately follow these in-
structions may cause serious injury or
even death.

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 flexi-
ble 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 device 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 hazard 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:
1. Plug power cord into wall outlet, the LED light will turn on.
2. Press TEST Button, circuit should trip, cutting power to the air conditioner. When this occurs, the LED
light will turn off.
3. Press RESET button to restore power to the unit. Once power is restored, the LED light will turn on
again.
If test button is pressed and unit can still be turned on, current leakage has been detected. Do not use the air
conditioner or attempt to reset the LCDI Plug. Contact Customer Service for troubleshooting recommenda-
tions.
WARNING:
1. DO NOT press the TEST button while the air conditioner is operating.
2. The TEST and RESET buttons should not be used as “ON” and “OFF” switches.
3. The cord and plug are not intended to offer protection to externally connected loads or supply circuits.
4. The cord and plug are intended for
indoor use only.

INSTALLATION
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 provided 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 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. 2).
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.
When handling the unit, be careful to avoid cuts from the
sharp metal edges and aluminum fins on the front and rear
coils.

Top Rail Installation
NOTE: Top Rail and the Side Panels are offset to provide the proper pitch to the rear of (5/16”). This is necessary for
proper condensation utilization and drainage. If you are not using the side panels, the rear pitch must still be maintained.
1. Attach the top rail onto the top of the outer case using four short screws.
Curtain Installation
1. Insert the side curtains into the upper and lower rails of the air conditioner. Fasten the curtains to the unit with short screws
as shown below.
2. Slide the free end of the curtain into the side panel of the air conditioner. Do this for each side. The flange for securing the
curtain into the window sill will be facing the room side when installed.
3. Once properly sized, remove the backing to expose the adhesive tape.

INSTALLATION
Placing the Unit Inside a Normal Window
3. Once the air conditioner is placed, extend the left and
right curtains to the width of the window.
4. Place the curtain lock between the curtain extensions and
the window sill, drive long screws through the lock and into
the sill as shown below:
5. Secure the left and right flanges with long screws on the
bottom sides of the curtain.
6. Drive long screws through upper frame holes into win-
dow sash.
7. Attach the sash lock to the place between the upper and
lower sashes and secure it with long screws. Each side uses
2 long screws.
8. Cut the foam seal to the window width and insert the sash
seal between the glass and the window to prevent air and
insects from getting into the room.
9. For added insulation, the insert strip can be installed
between the air conditioner and window sill. This is option-
al.

Remove the Air Conditioner from the Window
(End of Season)
1. Turn the air conditioner off, and disconnect the
power cord.
2. Remove the sash seal from between windows,
and unscrew sash lock.
3. Remove the screws installed through the frame
and frame lock.
4. Close (slide) the side panels into frame.
5. Keeping a firm grip on air conditioner, raise the sash
and carefully “rock” air conditioner backward to
drain any condensation water in base of unit. Be
careful not to spill any remaining water while lifting
unit from window.
6. Store parts with the air conditioner in the box.
Weather Insulation Board Installation
NOTE: The Weather Insulation Board adds an extra layer of
insulation to keep air from passing through the sides of the
window air conditioner.
1. Using a sharp blade or scissors, slowly cut the Weather
Insulation Board to a size that will fit the inside curtain rails
and completely cover the curtain.
2. Once properly sized, remove the backing to expose the
adhesive tape.
3. Place the Weather Insulation Board over the left and right
curtain and firmly press and hold for 5 seconds.
1. Set the unit in the window so that is centered. Place the
unit so that front edge of the bottom rail is against the back
edge of the sill.
2. Bring the window down so that the front edge of the top
rail is in front of the window. Be sure the unit is tilting
slightly to the outside.
