the amperage rating of the circuit breaker or time delay fuse does notexceed the amp rating listed in figure 1.
DO NOT use an extension cord.
The cord provided win carry the proper amount of electrical power to the unit; an extension cord will not.
Make sure that the receptacle is compatible with the wall plug provided,
This insures proper grounding. If you have a two-prong receptacle you will need to have the circuit replaced
by a certified electrician with a grounded circuit that meets all national and local codes and ordinances. You

For the Best Cooling Performance and Energy Efficiency
Keep the filter clean
Make sure that your air conditioner is always in top performing condition by cleaning the filter regularly.
Instructionsfor removing and cleaning the filter can be found on page 6.
Provide good airflow
Make sure that the airflow to and from the unit is clear. Your air conditioner puts the air out at the top of
the unit, and takes in air at the bottom. Airflow is critical to good operation. It is just as important on the
outside of the building that the airflow around the unit exterior is not blocked.
Unit Placement
Ifyour air conditioner can be placed in a window or a wall that is shaded by a tree or another building, the
unit will operate even more efficiently. Using drapes or blinds on the sunny side of the dwelling will also
add to your unit's efficiency.
Insulation
Good insulation will be a big help in maintaining desirable comfort levels. Doors should have weather
stripping. Be sure to caulk around doors and windows.
Safety Precautions
To prevent injury to the user or other people and property damage, the following instructions must be
followed.

Window Requirements
NOTE: All supporting parts should be secured to firm wood, masonry, or metal.
1. This unit is designed for installation in standard double hung windows with actual opening widths of
22" to 36". The upper and lower sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of 13"
from the bottom of the sash to the window stool.
2.If storm window presents interference, fasten a 2" wide wood strip to the inner window sill across
the full width of the sill. The wood strip should be thick enough to raise the height of the window sill
so that the unit can be installed without interference by the storm window frame.
See Fig. 5-2. The top of the wood strip should be approximately 3/4"higher than the storm window
frame (STORM WINDOW FRAME) or wood strip (OUTDOORS) to help condensation to drain
properly to the outside.
3. Install a second wood strip (approximately 6" long by 11/2"wide and same thickness as first strip) in
the center of the outer sill flush against the back off the inner sill. This will raise the I..bracket as
shown Fig. 5-2.
4. If the distance between STORM WINDOW FRAME and WOOD STRIP MOUNTED ON TOP OF
INNER SILL is more than 1", two of wood strips are not necessary.

• Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity or on rainy days. The water may overflow
and drip from the outdoor side of the unit.
• The fan may run even when the compressor does not.
• Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when the outside temperature is above
60°F(16°C) and below 115°F(46°C).
