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

HARDWARE

LOCATION A) 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.

B) Make sure window and frame are structurally sound and free from dry

and rotted wood.

C) 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.

D) 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 and not in a garage nor inside a building. Keep unit as far

away as possible from obstacles/obstructions and at least 30” above

the floor or ground. Curtains and other objects within a room should be

prevented from blocking the air flow.

E) Be certain 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.

F) 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 conditions, excess conden-

sation may cause basepan to overflow to the outside. The unit should be

installed where condensation run-off cannot drip on pedestrains or neigh-

boring properties.

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 3/4” screw on each side and one in

the “L” shaped mounting bracket (Fig. 5).

• Secure the shutter clamp on each side of the (lower) shutter and secure

to window sill using one 3/4” 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 3/4” screw (See Fig. 6).

Operating Instructions

CONTROLS SELECTOR SWITCH: The selector switch controls fan speed and/or cool-

ing speed. To set desired cooling temperature, simply rotate the

SELECTOR knob to the appropriate setting.

FAN SPEEDS:

• LOW FAN will circulate air at minimum speed without cooling.

• HIGH FAN will circulate air at maximum speed without cooling.

COOLING MODES:

• LOW COOL provides cooling with minimum air circulation.

Recommended for night-time use.

•HIGH COOL provides cooling with maximum air circulation.

Recommended for quick cooling or for extremely hot days. Once room is

cooled, reduce setting to LOW COOL.

• OFF shuts-down the unit completely

NOTE: Always allow 3 minutes before switching from one mode to

another.

THERMOSTAT: The thermostat automatically controls the (compressor)

cooling cycle and maintains the selected room temperature. To set the

thermostat, rotate the thermostat knob to the desired cooling setting (1

warmest - 7 coldest). The fan motor will continue to operate after the com-

pressor (cooling) has cycled off. This is normal.

IMPORTANT

When using FAN control, turn selector switch slowly, allowing unit

to adjust. When using THERMOSTAT, be sure to allow three min-

utes before changing temperature. Adjusting too quickly may cause

compressor to overload.

Care and Maintenance

CLEAING 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.

AIR FILTER 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 gril 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 cleaning agent.

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

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 cabi-

net are dirty, wipe with lukewarm water (below 40°C). Use of a mild

detergent is recommended.

END OF SEASON

CARE

1) Operate the fan alone for half a day to dry out the inside of the unit.

2) Turn off power and remove plug from wall socket.

3) Clean filter.

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

CAUTION

When installing and/or removing the air conditioner from the win-

dow, 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.
