should be no more than 6 ft (183 cm) from a grounded outlet .

■To maximize cooling efciency and air circulation, do not

louvers on the outside of the air conditioner.

Prepare Window with Storm Window

or Other Obstruction

Follow the steps in “Prepare Window Opening”. If possible,

remove the storm window frame or other obstruction.

If the storm window frame or obstruction CANNOT be removed,

a wood spacer will be required to ensure that the air conditioner

slopes to the outside. This will allow condensation and rainwater

to drain away.

Using a level and measuring tape, determine thickness of wood

spacer needed to allow the air conditioner to slope downward

slightly to the outdoors. The block should provide at least 1⁄2" of

height above the obstruction.

Place wood block on windowsill. Wood block should be at least

the full width of the air conditioner cabinet.

Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the

best possible results.

This section explains proper air conditioner operation.

IMPORTANT:

■If you turn off the air conditioner, wait at least 3 minutes

before turning it back on. This prevents the air conditioner

from blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.

■Do not try to operate your air conditioner in Cool mode

when outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C). The inside

evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not

operate properly.

NOTE: In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will

operate at the previous settings when the power is restored.

Operation

Turn the Operation knob to the desired operating

mode.

■Power—Turn on air conditioner by turning mode

dial to the desired setting.

■Cool Low ( )—Cools with the fan at low speed.

■Cool High ( )—Cools with the fan at high

speed. Use this setting for maximum cooling.

■Fan Low ( )—The fan runs at low speed without cooling.

■Fan High ( )—The fan runs at high speed without cooling.

■Off—Turns the air conditioner off.

Thermostat

The thermostat will automatically control room

temperature by cycling the compressor on and off.

The fan will continue to run.

■Turn to 6 (coolest) for cooler room temperatures.

■Turn to 1 (cool) for warmer room temperatures.

■A middle setting with the knob turned to 5 is

normal for average conditions.

USING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER

Changing Air Direction

Use tab to adjust air direction

Normal Operating Sounds

When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear

sounds such as:

■Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a pinging or

clicking sound. The water droplets help cool the condenser.

■Air movement from the fan.

■Clicks from the thermostat cycle.

■Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window construction.

■A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the modern

high-efciency compressor cycling on and off.

Use the lever on the vent louvers to adjust the air direction left or

right.

Your new air conditioner is designed to give you many years

of dependable service. This section tells you how to clean and

care for your air conditioner properly.

Remove the lter by grasping the tab on the lter and pulling it

out of the grille to the side.

Reinstalling the air filter:

Slide the lter back into the grille.

AIR CONDITIONER CARE

Cleaning the Front Panel

1. Turn off the air conditioner.

2. Wipe the front panel with a soft, damp cloth.

3. Air dry the front panel completely.

Cleaning the Air Filter

The air lter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean lter helps

remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important

for best cooling and operating efciency. Check the lter every

2 weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.

NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the lter

in place. Cooling performance will be effected when the coil

becomes dirty.

Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air lter. If the air lter is very dirty,

wash it in warm water with a mild detergent and rinse well.

NOTE: Do not wash the air lter in the dishwasher or use any

chemical cleaners; it may damage the lter. Air dry the air lter

completely before replacing to ensure maximum efciency.
