FEATURES

Your appliance is designed to be highly efﬁcient in energy savings. Follow these recommendations for greater efﬁ-

ciency.

1. Select a thermostat setting that suits your comfort needs and leave at that chosen setting.

2. The air ﬁlter is very efﬁcient in removing airborne particles. Keep the air ﬁlter clean at all times. (Usually cleaned every

2 weeks depending on indoor air quality.)

3. Use drapes, curtains or shades to keep direct sunlight from penetrating and heating the room, but do not allow drapes

or curtains to obstruct the air ﬂow around the unit.

4. Start your air conditioner before the outdoor air becomes hot, to avoid an initial period of discomfort while the unit is

cooling the room.

stallation of your air conditioner. Please check the contents of the hardware kit against the corre-

sponding model check list, prior to installation of the unit. See Fig. 1.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

To avoid the possibility of personal

injury, disconnect power to the unit

before installing or servicing.

NOTE: Your RoomAir Conditioner is designed for easy

installation in a single or double-hung window. This unit

is NOT designed for vertical (slider type) windows and/or

through-the-wall applications.

Because the compressor is located on the controls side of the unit (left side), this side

will be heavier and more awkward to manipulate. Inadequate support on control side of

the unit can result in personal injury and damage to your unit and property. Therefore, it

is recommended that you have someone assist you during the installation of this unit.

1. This room air conditioner is designed to ﬁt easily into a single or double hung window. However, since window designs

vary, it may be necessary to make some modiﬁcations for safe, proper installation.

2. Make sure window and frame are structurally sound and free from dry and rotted wood.

3. For maximum efﬁciency, install the air conditioner on a side of the house or building which favours more shade than

sunlight. If the unit is in direct sunlight, it is advisable to provide an awning over the unit.

4. Provide sufﬁcient clearance around the cabinet to allow for ample air circulation through the unit (See Fig. 2). The

rear of the unit should be outdoors. It should not be in a garage, or inside a building. Keep unit as far away as possi-

ble from obstacles/obstructions and at least 30” above the ﬂoor or ground. Curtains and other objects within the room

should be prevented from blocking the air ﬂow.

5. Be certain that the proper electrical outlet is within reach of the installation. Use only a single outlet circuit rated at 15

amps. All wiring should be in accordance with local and national electrical codes.

6. DO NOT install unit where leakage of combustible gas is suspected. Your air conditioner may fail to operate in air

containing oils (including machine oils), sulﬁde gas, near hot springs, etc.

NOTE: Your unit is designed to evaporate condensation under normal conditions. However, under extreme humidity con-

ditions, excess condensation may cause basepan to overﬂow to the outside. The unit should be installed where conden-

sation run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighbouring properties.

NOTE: It is normal for your unit to drip a small amount of water, especially on excessively humid days.

3. Completing the installation.

• Carefully place the air conditioner into the window with the “L” shaped mounting bracket (on top) positioned in front

of the upper window sash. The bottom of the cabinet should be positioned on the “recessed” portion of the window

frame. Pull the window down until it rests just behind the front ﬂange of the (top) “L” shaped mounting bracket (See

Fig. 5).

• Expand the shutter frames (fully) on each side and secure the top of the frames to the window sash using one 1/2”

screw on each side and one in the “L” shaped mounting bracket (Fig. 5).

• Secure the shutter clamp on each side of the lower part of the shutter, and secure to window sill using one 1/2” screw

on each side (Fig. 5).

• Place the second foam sealing strip to ﬁt the opening between the inside and outside windows, then attach the safety

lock to the outside window frame using one 1/2” screw (See Fig. 6).

PLEASE NOTE: Window applications come in a variety of different styles. Therefore, it may be necessary to modify your

particular installation.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CONTROLS

Turn the selector switch slowly, allowing the unit to adjust.

When using THERMOSTAT, be sure to allow three minutes

before changing the temperature. Adjusting too quickly may

cause compressor to overload.

IMPORTANT

Check that the air conditioner is tilted downwards to the outside, about

3° to 4°, as shown in Fig. 7. After proper installation, condensed water

should not drain from the overﬂow drain hole during normal use. If you

notice water leaking out, check the angle of tilt, and make any neces-

sary adjustments. However, on a very humid day, water leakage can

occur – this is normal.

Measure the tilt angle from the cabinet’s edge. The distance H should

be approximately 5/8” to 3/4”.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

Measure the tilt angle from the cabinet’s edge

IMPORTANT

Control panel may not be exactly as shown. Panel can vary

depending on model purchased.

When cleaning the air conditioner be sure to turn the SELECTOR knob to the “OFF” position and disconnect the power

cord from the electrical outlet.

1. DO NOT use gasoline, benzene, thinner, or any other chemicals to clean this unit, as these substances may cause

damage to the ﬁnish and deformation of plastic parts.

2. Never attempt to clean the unit by pouring water directly over any of the surface areas, as this will cause deterioration

of electrical components and wiring insulation.

If the air ﬁlter becomes clogged with dust, air ﬂow is obstructed and reduces efﬁciency. The air ﬁlter should be cleaned

every 2 weeks.

AIR FILTER REMOVAL:

The air ﬁlter is located behind the air intake front grill. To remove the air ﬁlter, grasp the ﬁlter handle on the front of the grill

and slide it out to the right.

To reinstall the air ﬁlter, reverse the above procedures. The air ﬁlter must be vacuumed or washed by hand in warm water.

Dry thoroughly before re-installing.

CLEANING AIR FILTER:

1. Use a vacuum cleaner with soft brush attachment.

2. Wash the ﬁlter in lukewarm water below 40°C (104°F). To get best results, wash with soapy water or a neutral clean-

ing agent.

3. Rinse the ﬁlter with clean water and dry thoroughly before re-installing.

1. Turn off power and remove plug from wall socket.

2. Clean ﬁlter.

3. Store (covered) air conditioner in a dry location.

CLEANING

END OF SEASON CARE

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT

DO NOT forget to install the air ﬁlter. If the air conditioner is left to operate without the air

ﬁlter, dust is not removed from the room air and may result in machine failure. When the air

inlet grill and cabinet are dirty, wipe with lukewarm water (below 40°C / 104°F). Use of a mild

detergent is recommended.

CAUTION

When installing and/or removing the air conditioner from the window, ensure that caution

is taken to prevent it from falling backward. It is recommended that installation or removal

of the air conditioner is done with assistance, to prevent injury to persons or damage to the

unit or property.

DISPOSAL

Check for local regulatory compliance regarding the approved and safe disposal of this appliance.

NOTE: In order to avoid electric shock, please turn

off the A/C and unplug the plug before mainte-

nance or repair.
