(39.4 cm) wide. See "Metal or Wood Casement Window
Installation."
• If wood casement window installation, a 1" (2.5 cm) wood
frame will be needed. See "Metal or Wood Casement Window
Installation."
NOTE: The installation of this air conditioner is intended to be
permanent. When installed in an apartment or rental property,
permission to make modifications should be obtained from
owner or landlord of building prior to installation of air
conditioner.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Check the location where the air conditioner will be installed.
Proper installation is your responsibility. Make sure you have
everything necessary for correct installation.
The location should provide:
• A horizontal sliding or casement type window with a minimum
width of 151/2'' (39.4 cm).
• Grounded electrical outlet within 4 ft (122 cm) of where the
power cord exits the air conditioner.
NOTE: Do not use an extension cord.

Do not use an extension cord.
Fai)ure to fo))ow these instructions can reeu)t in
death, fire, or e)ectrica) shock.
The electrical ratings for your air conditioner are listed on the
model and serial number label. The model and serial number
label is located on the right-hand side of the cabinet.
Specific electrical requirements are listed in the chart below.
Follow the requirements for the type of plug on the power supply

Recommended ground method
For your personal safety, this air conditioner must be grounded.
This air conditioner is equipped with a power supply cord having
a grounded 3 prong plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the
cord must be plugged into a mating, grounded 3 prong outlet,
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a
mating outlet is not available, it is the customer's responsibility to
have a properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified
electrical installer.
It is the customer's responsibility:
• To contact a qualified electrical installer.
• To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 -
latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

A.Reset button
B. Testbutton • Do not use the power supply cord as an off/on switch. The power supply cord is designed as a protective device.
This room air conditioner is equipped with a power supply cord
required by UL. This power supply cord contains state-of-the-art
electronics that sense leakage current. If the cord is crushed, the
electronics detect leakage current and power will be
disconnected in a fraction of a second.
A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new
power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer
and must not be repaired.
The power supply cord contains no user serviceable parts.
Opening the tamper-resistant case voids all warranty and
performance claims.

Metal Casement Window Installation
This air conditioner is designed to fit into most casement-type
windows. As shipped from factory, air conditioner will fit into a
minimum window opening 151/='' (39.4 cm) wide and 22" (55.9
cm) high. The preferred method of installation is through a closed
or stationary window. Installation in an open window frame is also
possible where open window can be secured to outside of
building or removed completely.
Closed or stationary window
Install air conditioner in stationary sash to avoid crank handles or
window latches. If air conditioner is to be installed in or next to a
movable sash, it may be necessary to remove catch, handle or
both.
• Remove crank handle and secure window in closed position.
Remove glass panes and separating strips to a height
sufficient to mount air conditioner.
Open window frame
1. Remove crank mechanism and catch handles.
2. Fold window sash back against exterior wall of building and
secure, or remove completely where possible.
Wood Casement Window Installation
1. Construct aframe, using at least 1" (2.5 cm) thick wood panel
with a 151/='' (39.4 cm) wide opening.
2. Paint frame and fasten it securely, sealing it into window
opening.
If window opening width is greater than 15Y2" (39.4 cm):
1. Measure from side of window opening 151/='' (39.4 cm). From
this point, measure to opposite side of window opening to
find width of filler panel. Measure height of window. Cut a s/4"
(19 mm) thick wood filler panel this width and the full height of
the window opening.
2. Attach securely to side of opening.

AIRCONDITIONERUSE
Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the best possible results.
This section explains proper air conditioner operation.
IMPORTANT:
• If you turn off the air conditioner, wait at least 3 minutes
before turning it back on. This prevents the air conditioner
from blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.
Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode
when outside temperature is below 66°F (19°C). The inside
evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not
operate properly.
NOTES:
• In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will
automatically turn back on.
If the electronic control will not respond to touch pad or
remote control commands, it is necessary to unplug the air
conditioner from the electrical outlet for 5 seconds before
plugging back in.
