BEFORE YOU USE YOUR
AIR CONDITIONER
It is your responsibilityto make
surethat your air conditioner:
l Has been properly installed.
l Is the right size for the area you want
to cool.
l Is properly connected to electricity.
l Is properly electrically grounded.
l Is properly used only for the job it was
intended to do.
l Is not used by children or anyone not
able to operate it properly.
l Is properly maintained.
l Also, remove energy label and buy guide.
Use damp cloth to take off any glue
residue. Do not use a sharp instrument
or any harsh or abrasive cleaners.
Energy SavingTips
l Improve home insulation (seal doors,
windows, and close fireplace flue).
l Close blinds or drapes on sunny side of
house; add window awnings.
l Keep air filter clean. Don’t block air flow
with drapes or furniture.
l Ventilate attic (high temperature levels
add to normal cooling load).
l Try not to use heat producing appliances
during the hottest part of the day. Turn
lights, radios, televisions, and other
appliances off when not needed.
l Keep heat registers and cool air returns
closed or blocked off so cooled air won’t
escape.
l Use a vent fan in areas where cooking,
laundry, or bathing is done to pull out
extra heat and moisture near its source.

Electrical Requirements
For Your Air Conditioner
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS ARE DIFFERENT
FOR THE TWO MODELS SHOWN ON THE
COVER, DEPENDING ON THE AMPERE RATING
OF YOUR UNIT. THE NUMBER OF AMPERES IS
PRINTED ON THE SERIAL PLATE, ATTACHED TO
THE FRONT OF THE UNIT, BEHIND THE FRONT
PANEL (SEE PAGE 2).
OBSERVE ALL LOCAL GOVERNING CODES
AND ORDINANCES
Do not, under any circumstances, remove the
power supply cord ground prong.
RECEPTACLE WIRING
RECEPTACLE WIRING should be at least as
large as 14 gauge. Use copper wire only. It is the
personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to provide proper and adequate
receptacle wiring installed by a qualified electri-
cian. OBSERVE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE AND ALL LOCAL GOVERNING
CODES AND ORDINANCES.
Electrical Requirements
A 115 volt (103.5 min., 126.5 max.) 60 hertz AC
only, 15 ampere fused electrical supply is required
(time delay fuse or time delay circuit breaker re-
quired). It is recommended that a separate circuit,
serving only this appliance, be provided for models
with serial plate amperes up through 7.5. A separate
circuit is required for models with serial plate amperes
of 7.6 through 72.0. Do not use an extension cord.
Electrical Connection
Electrical Ground is Required on this Appliance
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
For your personal safety, this appliance must be
grounded. This appliance is equipped with a
power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the
cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong
grounding type wall receptacle, grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code
and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall
receptacle is not available, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the customer to
have a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle
installed by a qualified electrician. See Figure 1.

PbWEi-SUPPLY CORD ‘ACLE
ALTERNATE GROUNDING METHOD
If changing and properly grounding the wall
receptacle is impossible and where local codes
permit (consult your electrical inspector), a
temporary adapter may be plugged into the
existing 2-prong wall receptacle to mate with the
3-prong power supply cord. See Figure 2. THIS,
HOWEVER, IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
If this is done, you must connect the grounded
eyelet on the adapter to the wall receptacle
cover plate screw and from this same screw, you
must connect a separate copper ground wire
(#14 minimum) to a grounded cold water pipe.*
See Figure 2. Do not ground to a gas supply
pipe. Do not connect to electrical supply until
appliance is permanently grounded.

l Pick the right window. First, decide what
room(s) you want to cool. Then choose a
window that will allow the air-conditioned air
to flow freely and directly into the room(s)
you want cooled. Remember, it’s difficult to
move air around corners. If the inner sliding
window slides to the left, the unit will be
installed on the right. Remove window screen
if there is one. Choose a sliding window
that’s also near an electrical outlet. (Refer
to the ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT page
for type of receptacle and wiring needed.)
Do not use an extension cord. The sliding
window in which you place your air condi-
tioner should have an opening of at least
15-l/2” wide and 21 -l/4” to 40.7/8” high
(see Figure 4). For installations up to 62.
l/4” high, a special kit (Part No. 977449)
is available. For windows as low as 20.7/16”,
you must install without filler frame and
remove top angle on unit, reinstalling 3 screws
into top of cabinet.
This model may also be installed in steel hinged
casement windows. The steel hinged case-
ment window must have an opening at 15-l/2”
wide and no more than 16-l/2” wide.

l Install support bracket (Item 2) with either
short or long leg down and with end of bracket
either toward or away from window, depend-
ing upon construction and depth of wall and
window sill (see Figure 6). Install sill bracket
(Item 3). Each bracket is attached using one
5/16” bolt, nut and washers (Items 4, 4A, 4B
and 4C).

Reinstall assembled shelf with two brackets
into the window opening. Adjust brackets
until shelf is firmly seated and sloping down
to outside. If you use a level, be sure you have
l/2 bubble of slope. Without a level, place the
translucent panel (Item 5) on shelf. The top
of long side of the panel will be 5/16” back
from the window line (see Figure 7).

. FOR INSTALLATION IN SLIDING
WINDOWS THAT DO NOT HAVE SIDE
OR TOP TRACK.
The top flanges and one side flange of the air
conditioner must butt up to a flange on the
window. These window flanges must not be
more than 1’16” thick. On the side with the
open sash, the leading edge of the sash be-
comes the flange. The flange is on the top and
jamb side of most metal windows. Use a metal
angle or add wood to provide a flange for the
unit in windows where there is no side jamb
stop, or where there is a thick wood jamb
stop. Follow the three suggestions shown in
Figure 17.
