SPECIFICATIONS

FOR YOUR SAFETY: Read these instructions carefully before operating the unit.

1) All wiring must comply with local and national electrical codes and must

be installed by a qualified electrician. If you have any questions

regarding the following instructions, contact a qualified electrician.

2) Check available power supply and resolve any wiring problems

BEFORE installing and operating this unit.

3) This 115V air conditioner uses 7.1 or less nameplate amps and may be

used in any properly wired, general purpose household receptacle.

4) For your safety and protection, this unit is grounded through the power

cord plug when plugged into a matching wall outlet. If you are not sure

whether your wall outlet is properly grounded, please consult a qualified

electrician.

5) The wall outlet must match the 3-prong plug on the service cord

supplied with the unit. DO NOT use plug adapters. If it is necessary to

use an extension cord to connect your air conditioner, use an

approved “air conditioner” extension cord only (available at most

local hardware stores).

6) The rating plate on the unit contains electrical and other technical data.

The rating plate is located on the right side of the unit, above the power

cord.

POWER SUPPLY CORD NOTE: Your unit’s device may differ from the one shown.

ULC. This power supply cord contains state-of-the-art electronics that

sense leaking current. If the cord is crushed, the electronics detect leaking

current and power will be disconnected in a fraction of a second.

To test your power supply cord:

1. Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2. Press RESET (on some devices, a green light will turn on).

3. Press TEST (listen for a click; Reset button will trip, and on some

devices, a green light will turn off).

Important Safety Information

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

FOR YOUR SAFETY: Read these instructions carefully before operating the unit.

Your Danby appliance is designed to be highly efficient in energy

savings. Follow these recommendations for greater efficiency.

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 and

uncomfortable, to avoid an initial period of discomfort while the unit is

cooling off the room.

5) When outdoor temperatures are cool enough, use HIGH or LOW FAN

only. This circulates indoor air, providing some cooling comfort, and

utilizes less electricity than when operating on a cooling setting.

Installation Instructions

Lower sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of 13-

1/2 inches (343 mm). Side louvers and the rear of the AC must have clear

air space to allow enough airflow through the condenser, for heat removal.

The rear of the unit must be outdoors, not inside a building or garage.

NOTE: SAVE CARTON and these INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for

future reference. The carton is the best way to store unit during winter, or

when not in use.

Some assembly is required. Please read these instructions

carefully.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

To avoid the possibility of personal

injury, disconnect power to the unit

before installing or servicing.

NOTE: Your air conditioner is designed

for installation in a standard double hung

window with an opening width of

22 8/16” - 38 2/16” (FIG. 1)

water utilization and drainage. If you are not using the Side Panels for

any reason, this pitch to the rear must be maintained to allow water build

up in humid conditions to drain outside.

Filler Panel - be sure to use the proper panel for each side.When installed

the flange for securing the panel in place to the window sill will be facing

into the room.

“hi cool ” has maximum cooling effect and airflow.

“lo cool ” has minimum cooling effect and airflow.

Note: If your unit is equipped with a vent handle, keep it closed for maximum efficiency.

Fan Mode

Rotate the knob to the left to select your choice of fan speeds for air circulation.

Note: When selecting a fan speed, the compressor will not run.

AUGER WHEEL

Air Directional Louvers

Air directional louvers control air flow direction. Your air conditioner has

the louver type described below.

Auger T ype

Rotate the Auger Wheels until the desired Left/Right direction is obtained.

Thermostat

The thermostat is used to set the desired room temperature when the unit is being operated

in the “COOL MODE” .

To change the room temperature, rotate the thermostat switch to the desired setting. After

the set temperature is achieved the thermostat will automatically start and stop the compressor

in order to maintain the desired set temperature.

Rotate the thermostat selector clockwise for higher cool settings. Higher cool settings will

provide lower room temperature.

Rotate the thermostat selector counter clockwise for lower cool settings. Lower cool settings

will provide higher room temperature.
