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

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. 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.
