PURCHASE INFORMATION

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) power cord

and plug as required by US National Electric Code 440.65. This cord consists of a length of shielded flexi-

ble cord with no termination on the load side and a LCDI attachment plug on the line side.

The LCDI power cord and plug will remove the supply source via electrical disconnect (circuit trip) if the

nominal current leakage between the cord shield and either load conductor exceeds a predetermined

value. The cord will remain de-energized until the devise has been manually reset. This is intended to re-

duce the risk of a fire in the power cord or combustible materials nearby. The cord shields are notgrounded

and they must be considered a shock hazards if exposed. The cord shield must not be connected to ground

or to any exposed metal.

The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if the plug is functioning properly. To test:

1. Plug power cord into wall outlet. The LED light will turn on.

2. Press TEST Button, circuit should trip, cutting power to the air conditioner. When this occurs,

the LED light will turn off.

3. Press RESET button to restore power to the machine. Once power is restored, the LED light

will turn on again.

If test button is pressed and unit can still be turned on, current leakage has been detected. Do not use the air

conditioner or attempt to reset the LCDI Plug. Contact Chigo Customer Service for troubleshooting

recommendations.

LED LIGHT

Note: Your units’power cord and plug may differ from the one shown.

WARNING:

1. DO NOT press the TEST button while the air conditioner isoperating.

2. The TEST and RESET buttons should not be used as “ON” and “OFF”switches.

3. The cord and plug are not intended to offer protection to externally connected loads or supplycircuits.

4. The cord and plug are intended for indoor use only.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Window Preparation

Please read all instructions prior to installing your air conditioner. Two people are recommended to install this product. If

a new electrical outlet is required, have the outlet installed by a qualified electrician before installing the unit.

Before installing the unit, check the dimensions of your window to make sure the air conditioner will fit. This unit is made

to fit inside a standard double-hung window. Make sure the window is in good shape and able to firmly hold the needed

screws. If not, make repairs prior to installing the unit.

Storm Window Requirements

A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to tilt properly which in turn will keep it from draining properly. To

adjust for this, attach a board or piece of wood to the sill. The board or wood piece should have a depth of at least 1 1/2”.

Make sure the board or piece of wood is approximately 1/2” higher than the storm window frame. This will allow the air

conditioner to tilt enough for proper drainage. (See FIG. 2).

FIG. 1

Prior to Installing the Air Conditioner

1. Check for anything that could block airflow. Check the area outside of the window for things such as shrubs, trees,or

awnings. Check the inside area to make sure curtains, drapes, or blinds will not prevent proper airflow.

2. Check the available electrical outlet. The power supply must be the same as shown on the unit serial nameplate

(located on the left side of the unit, near the front faceplate). Be sure the outlet is close enough for the power cord to

reach.

3. Carefully unpack the air conditioner. Remove all packing material and make sure the floor is protected when remov-

ing. Due to the large size of this air conditioner, two people should move the unit together.

When handling the unit, be careful to avoid cuts from

the sharp metal edges and aluminum fins on the front

and rear coils.

INSTALLATION

NOTE: Top Rail and the side Panels are offset to provide the proper pitch to the rear of (5/16”). This is necessary for

proper condensation utilization and drainage. If you are not using the side panels, the rear pitch must still be maintained.

1. Attach the top rail onto the top of the outer case using four Short Screws.

short screws as shown above.

Slide the free end of the curtain into the side panel of

the air conditioner. Do this for each side. The flange

ing the room side wheninstalled.

4. Place the curtain lock between the curtain extensions

and the window sill, drive long screws through the lock

and into the sill as shown below:

Secure the left and right flanges on end bottom side of

the curtain with longscrews.

Drive long screws through upper frame holes into win-

dow sash.

Attach the sash lock to the place between the upper

and lower sashes and secure it with long screws.Each

side uses 2 longscrews.

Cut the foam seal to the window width and insert the

sash seal between the glass and the window to pre-

vent air and insect from getting into theroom.

For added insulation, the insert strip can be inserted

between the air conditioner and window sill. This is

optional.

INSTALLATION

IF AC is Blocked by a Storm Window

A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to

tilt properly which in turn will keep it from draining properly.

To adjust for this, attach a board or piece of wood to the

sill. The board or wood piece should have a depth of at

least 1 1/2”. Make sure the board or piece of wood is ap-

proximately 1/2” higher than the storm window frame. This

will allow the air conditioner to tilt enough for proper drain-

age. (See FIG. 4).

Removing the Air Conditioner from the

Window

1. Turn the air conditioner off, and disconnect thepower

cord.

2. Remove the sash seal from between windows, and

unscrew sash lock.

3. Remove the screws installed through the frameand

frame lock.

4. Close (slide) the side panels into frame.

5. Keeping a firm grip on air conditioner, raise the sash

and carefully “rock” air conditioner backward to drain

any condensate water in base of unit. Be careful not to

spill any remaining water while lifting unit from window.

6. Store parts with the air conditioner in thebox.

Note:

All supporting parts must be secured to firmedwood,

masonry, or metal

The air conditioner can be installed without thecurtai-

ns to fit in a narrow windowopening.

The electric outlet must be within reach of thepower

cord.

piece must be

approximately

1/2” higher
