Plug air conditioner into grounded

three prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not fuse neutral or grounding

circuit.

Do not use air conditioner with

front panel removed.

Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death, electrical

shock, or serious injury.

Electrical ground is required on this

appliance.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,

REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLY CORD

GROUNDING PRONG.

OBSERVE ALL LOCAL CODES AND

ORDINANCES.

NOTE: If codes permit, and a separate

grounding wire is used, it is recommended

that a qualified electrician determine that the

grounding path is adequate. Use a time-

delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker. It is

required that a separate circuit, serving only

this air conditioner, be provided. See the

chart on page 5 for electrical plug variations.

Choose the plug that matches your unit’s

plug. Then, use the chart to find the voltage

and ampere requirements for your air

conditioner, and the gauge of copper wire

required for the receptacle wiring.

Fire Hazard

Do not use an extension cord.

Doing so can result in death, fire, or

electrical shock.

Grounding method

For your personal safety, this appliance

must be grounded. This air conditioner

is equipped with a power supply cord

containing a 3-prong grounding plug. To

minimize possible shock hazard, the cord

must be plugged into a mating 3-prong

grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded

in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is

not available, it is the responsibility of the

consumer to have a proper wall receptacle

installed by a qualified electrician.

Receptacle wiring

See the chart below for minimum gauge for

receptacle wiring. Use copper wire only. It is

the responsibility of the consumer to provide

proper and adequate receptacle wiring,

installed by a qualified electrician. Observe

the National Electrical Code and all local

governing codes and ordinances.

out of the opening during installation.

Window installation

1. Remove the ground wire and screw from

the front of the unit base. Save grounding

screw for reattachment in Step 23.

2. Attach 3/g”(10 mm) seal strip (A) to

bottom of both side mounting brackets

(sides with screw holes). Cut strips to

length and save extra for use later.

3. Attach side mounting brackets (B) to

cabinet. Place side mounting brackets on

cabinet so bent edge is toward front of

cabinet. Attach each with 2 hex-head

metal screws (C).

4. Slide unit out of cabinet. Grasp handle

and slide unit straight out of cabinet. Place

unit on cardboard to protect your floor.

5. Place empty cabinet in window. Lower

window sash to hold cabinet in place.

Make sure the cabinet is centered in the

window opening.

6. Measure width of window channel and

subtract thickness of filler board. Cut

foam blocks 1/4”(6 mm) wider than this

measurement. The blocks will be used

later in Step 15.

7. Determine proper size for filler board

(D). Measure the distance from the right

edge of the cabinet to the inside of the

right window channel. Then add KY”

(3 mm) to that measurement. Repeat for

left side.

8. Cut filler board (D) to size with utility

knife. Cut in from the outside edges.

The outside edges should have screw

holes in them.

9. Apply %” (10 mm) seal strip (left over

from Step 2) to the filler boards. Apply

seal strips to the bottom front and

outside front edges of the filler boards.

10. Attach left filler board to cabinet.

Pull cabinet part way out of the window.

Then attach the left filler board to the

front of the left side mounting bracket.

Use W’ (12.5 mm) hex-head metal

screws (E).

channel. Place cabinet back into

window. Make sure left filler board sits

tightly against the window channel.

12. Attach right filler board to cabinet.

Insert right filler board into right window

channel. Push filler board against right

side mounting bracket and attach it with

W’ (12.5 mm) hex-head metal screws (E).

13. Apply foam seal (F). Measure from

right inside edge of window frame to left

inside edge. Then cut the foam seal,

with square ends, to fit. Hold the cabinet

to prevent it from falling. Raise window

sash and place adhesive side of foam

seal along underside of window.

14. Make sure filler boards are as far for-

ward (toward inside room) in window

channels as possible.
