ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS& SAFETY PREGAUTIDNS J
Electrical Shock Hazard _Zk
•Plug unit only into a grounded _[_
electrical outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord or plug
adapter with this unit.
• Do not operate unit with decorative front
or filter removed.
Failure to follow these precautions could
result in electrical shock, fire or personal
injury.
If the air conditioner has a serial plate
rating of 115 volts and greater than 7.5
amps, it must have its own fuse or circuit
breaker, and no other device or unit
should be operated on that fuse or circuit
breaker.
If the air conditioner has a serial plate
rating of 230 volts, it must have its own
fuse or circuit breaker, and no other
device or unit should be operated on that
fuse or circuit breaker.
We recommend that a qualified electrician
install unit in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances.
• Use copper conductors of correct wire
gauge and protector size only.
• Do not alter cord or plug end. Do not
remove warning label on cord.
Important Grounding Requirements
• Air conditioner has a three-prong
grounding plug on the power supply cord,
which must be plugged into a properly
grounded three-prong wall receptacle for
your protection against possible shock
hazard. For models up to and including
7.5 amperes, use a grounding type wall
receptacle to match the cord plug.
• For models above 7.5 amperes use a single
outlet grounding type wall receptacle to
match the cord plug.
Do not operate this air conditioner without
proper time delay circuit protection (circuit
breaker or fuse). Refer to serial plate for
proper power supply requirements.

Additional Safety Precautions
• Do not cut, alter or remove any of the expanded
polystyrene (styrofoam) inside this air conditioner.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not introduce objects in the air discharge area. This
could cause permanent damage.
• Do not pour liquids on the air conditioner as this could
cause a malfunction. With the unit unplugged, use a
damp cloth for cleaning the unit.
• Do not use strong solvents to clean the air conditioner.
• Clean the air conditioner filter every two weeks to
avoid overheating caused by air obstruction. Do not
operate without filter.
• Do not obstruct the air intake area of your air
conditioner, as this could cause overheating, thus
activating the unit's security switch and shutting off the
unit.
• Do not block air circulation to outside louvers of
cabinet.
• Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains, or
furniture, or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other
buildings.
• Do not run the air conditioner with an outside
protective cover in place. This could result in fire or
mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
• Depending on the model, your air conditioner may
weigh as much as 95 pounds. To insure safe handling,
obtain the necessary help to lift and position the unit
during installation and removal.
• Handle air conditioner with care. Wear protective
gloves whenever lifting or carrying the unit.
• Carefully inspect the location where the air conditioner
will be installed. Be sure it will support the weight of
the unit over an extended period of time.

Window Requirements
1, Air conditioner is factory prepared for installation in standard double hung
window (air conditioner cannot be installed in other types of windows with-
out modification, consult with a qualified installation serviceman).
2, Install the air conditioner in a window where there will be enough clearance
around the cabinet to allow ample circulation of air through the unit.
3, All supporting parts should be secured to firm wood, masonry or metal.
Unit & Window Size
1. If your air conditioner cabinet is 20" wide, it will fit window openings 23
7/8" to 39" in width. Minimum opening height is ]2 3/4" from bottom of
sash to sill. Removal of both filler panels permits installation in windows with
a minimum opening width of 20 ]/4". This size unit requires one leveling
bracket (Fig. 3).
2, If your air conditioner cabinet is 23 3/4" wide, it will fit window openings 27
5/8" to 39" in width. Minimum opening height is ]6" from bottom of sash to
sill Removal of both filler panels permits installation in windows with a mini-
mum opening width of 24". This size unit requires two leveling brackets (Fig.
4).
Attach Filler Panels o,, somemodels...
1. Attach filler panels to the existing holes in the cabinet using the supplied
screws
(Fig. 5).
Installation in Normal Width Window
1. ()pen and mark center line of window. Depending on the size of your unit,
attach one leveling bracket on the center line of the window or one 8" to the
right and one 8" to the left of the center line. Brackets may be attached to
window sill in either direction for maximum support, depending on the depth
of the window sill.
2. Mark line I 1/4" from edge of window sill and fasten leveling bracket with 1"
long wood screws at mark through larger holes in bracket (Fig,.6).
3. Screw leveling bolt in 3/8" threaded hole of leveling bracket and adjust so
bolt is 1/4" below top of window sill (Fig. 7).
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for second leveling bracket, if required.

carefully center air conditioner in window
opening with the bottom bar sitting
behind window sill. Be sure cabinet main-
tains an outward pitch. Air conditioner

outside as shown by half a bubble off on
a carpenter's level. This outward pitch
prevents water from entering the room
(Fig._).
6. Close window until it touches behind air
conditioner top bar. Slide filler panels out-
ward until they touch window sash tracks.
(Do not release grip on air conditioner
until lower window sash is in final posi-
tion)
(Fig.9).
7. Secure top of filler panels by driving 5/8"
long wood screws through top mounting
holes into window sash (Fig. 9).
8. Secure bottom of filler panels by driving
5/8" long screws into window sill through
filler panel tabs (Fig. 9).
9. Cut plastic foam seal to width of window
and install between upper and lower win-
dow sash (Fig. 9).
10. Use sealant to fill any minor openings.
Caution: Do not drill a hole in bottom pan. Unit is
designed to operate with approximately 1/2" of
water in bottom pan.
