outlet is not available, it is the customer’s responsibility to have
a properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a qualied
electrical installer. It is the customer’s responsibility:
■To contact a qualied electrical installer.
■To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and
in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA

Install Air Conditioner in Window
IMPORTANT:
■Be sure your air conditioner does not fall out of the opening
during installation or removal.
■The place where the power cord exits the air conditioner
should be no more than 6 ft (183 cm) from a grounded outlet .
■To maximize cooling efciency and air circulation, do not
block the air intake or discharge louvers in the front panel.
■To reduce cycling on and off of the compressor and reduce
the risk of freezing up or damage to the unit, do not block the
louvers on the outside of the air conditioner.
Prepare Window with Storm Window
or Other Obstruction
Follow the steps in “Prepare Window Opening”. If possible,
remove the storm window frame or other obstruction.
If the storm window frame or obstruction CANNOT be removed,
a wood spacer will be required to ensure that the air conditioner
slopes to the outside. This will allow condensation and rainwater
to drain away.
Using a level and measuring tape, determine thickness of wood
spacer needed to allow the air conditioner to slope downward
slightly to the outdoors. The block should provide at least 1⁄2" of
height above the obstruction.
Place wood block on windowsill. Wood block should be at least
the full width of the air conditioner cabinet.

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 Cool mode
when outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C). The inside
evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not
operate properly.
NOTE: In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will
operate at the previous settings when the power is restored.
Operation
Turn the Operation knob to the desired operating
mode.
■Power—Turn on air conditioner by turning mode
dial to the desired setting.
■Cool Low ( )—Cools with the fan at low speed.
■Cool High ( )—Cools with the fan at high
speed. Use this setting for maximum cooling.
■Fan Low ( )—The fan runs at low speed without cooling.
■Fan High ( )—The fan runs at high speed without cooling.
■Off—Turns the air conditioner off.
Thermostat
The thermostat will automatically control room
temperature by cycling the compressor on and off.
The fan will continue to run.
■Turn to 6 (coolest) for cooler room temperatures.
■Turn to 1 (cool) for warmer room temperatures.
■A middle setting with the knob turned to 5 is
normal for average conditions.
USING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER
Changing Air Direction
Use tab to adjust air direction
Normal Operating Sounds
When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear
sounds such as:
■Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a pinging or
clicking sound. The water droplets help cool the condenser.
■Air movement from the fan.
■Clicks from the thermostat cycle.
■Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window construction.
■A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the modern
high-efciency compressor cycling on and off.
Use the lever on the vent louvers to adjust the air direction left or
right.

Your new air conditioner is designed to give you many years
of dependable service. This section tells you how to clean and
care for your air conditioner properly.
Remove the lter by grasping the tab on the lter and pulling it
out of the grille to the side.
Reinstalling the air filter:
Slide the lter back into the grille.
AIR CONDITIONER CARE
Cleaning the Front Panel
1. Turn off the air conditioner.
2. Wipe the front panel with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Air dry the front panel completely.
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air lter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean lter helps
remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important
for best cooling and operating efciency. Check the lter every
2 weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.
NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the lter
in place. Cooling performance will be effected when the coil
becomes dirty.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air lter. If the air lter is very dirty,
wash it in warm water with a mild detergent and rinse well.
NOTE: Do not wash the air lter in the dishwasher or use any
chemical cleaners; it may damage the lter. Air dry the air lter
completely before replacing to ensure maximum efciency.
Air Filter Removal
Remove the air filter
