Information

The complete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner is stated on the serial plate.
Refer to the rating when checking the electrical requirements.
• Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire hazards,
proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding
plug for protection against shock hazards.
• Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wai! receptacle. If the wall
receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse
or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper receptacle.
• Do not run air conditioner with outside protective cover in place. This could result in
mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
- Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

BEFORE ATTEMPTING

of Current

Accidents

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your air conditioner,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
= Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen. This information
can be found on the serial plate, which is located on the side of the cabinet and behind the
grille.
• If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to clean both
sides of the glass first. If the window is a triple-track type with a screen panel included,
remove the screen completely before installation.
• Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to the
separate installation instructions provided with this manual. Save this manual and the
installation instructions for possible future use in removing or reinstalling this unit.
• When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins on front

Care and Cleaning

Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the
unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.

Air Filter

Cleaning

The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary.
Trapped particles in the filter can build up and cause an accumulation of frost on the
cooling coils.
• Tilt the panel out by grasping the panel from both sides, just below the controls and
the air directional louvers, and gently pull to release. Pivot the panel on its honges
and remove the filter.
• Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter
thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is thoroughly dry
before replacing.
• Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the filter clean.
Cabinet

Cleaning

,, Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and
front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution
of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
• Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the cabinet front.
,, Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess
water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
• Plug in air conditioner.
Winter

Storage

If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter, remove it carefully from the
window according to the installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it to the
original carton.
Note: To prevent rust or electrical connections
from being damaged, store air conditioner in an upright and a dry place.

Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with shrubs,
enclosures,
or other buildings.
The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory
operation.
Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that faces north
is best because it is shaded most of the day.
Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape up the
chimney and into the duct work.
Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day.
Clean the air filter as recommended in the section "Care and Cleaning."
Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm air out and cool
air in.
External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air conditioner's
work load.
Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers
during the coolest part of the day.
