Please:

Install your air conditioner in a window that

will hold the weight, and secure the air

conditioner according to the Installation

Instructions.

Connect the air conditioner to the proper

kind of outlet with the correct electrical

supply and grounding. (See the Installation

Instructions.)

Make sure the air conditioner is the correct

size for the area you want to cool.

Use the air conditioner only to do what a

window air conditioner is designed to do.

Make sure the air conditioner is not used

by anyone unable to operate it properly.

Maintain the air conditioner properly.

Also, remove the Energy Label. Use a damp

cloth to take off any glue residue. DO NOT

Operating Your Air

Conditioner

In order to obtain the best possible results from your air conditioner, it is important that you

operate it properly. This section will tell you how to do just that.

, Starting your air conditioner

Fire Hazard

Do not use an extension cord.

Doing so can result in death, fire, or

electrical shock.

NOTE: Make sure air conditioner System

Control is set to Off before plugging in

the unit.

1. Set the Exhaust Control to Closed for

best cooling results.

2. Set the System Control to the

desired setting.

LO COOL ...........for sleeping comfort

MED COOL ..........for normal cooling

HI COOL ..........for maximum cooling

FAN ONLY......for air circulation only

3. Turn the Thermostat Control to the mid

(number 6) setting. You can adjust the air

conditioner’s cooling performance by

resetting the Thermostat Control to a

higher number for maximum cooling.

Lower the thermostat for less cooling.

You will need to experiment to find the

setting which suits you best.

When lowering the Thermostat Control

setting, the compressor (motor) may

shut off.

NOTE: If you turn your air conditioner off or

if the compressor shuts off, wait at least two

minutes before turning it back on or you may

blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death or electrical shock.

Using the Exhaust Control

The Exhaust Control draws stale or smoky

air from the room or circulates existing

room air.

NOTE: Make sure the Exhaust Control is

returned to the Closed setting when cooling

or room air circulation is desired. Energy

efficiency is decreased when operating in

exhaust and cooling at the same time.

To exhaust room air:

1. Set Exhaust Control to Open

2. If cooling is desired, set System Control

to desired Cool setting.

3. If cooling is not required, set System

Control to Fan Only.

To circulate room air:

1. Set Exhaust Control to Closed.

2. If cooling is desired, set System Control

to desired Cool setting.

3. If cooling is not required, set System

Control to Fan Only.

Changing air direction

The louvers, in the top grille area of the air

conditioner, control the direction of the

cooled air. Move the tab, at the top of the

grille, in the direction in which you want the

air to go (right, left, or straight ahead).

Performing annual maintenance

Your air conditioner needs annual mainte-

nance to help ensure steady, top performance

throughout the year.

Call the service company recommended

by your dealer to:

l Inspect and clean the coils and conden-

sate water passages.

l Check fan.

The compressor and fan motor are sealed

and need no oiling. The expense of an

annual inspection is the customer’s

responsibility.

If you are familiar with electrical appliances,

you can do the cleaning and maintenance

yourself. If you choose to do so, follow

these steps.

NOTE: Do not lift, push, or pull any white

beaded foam (expanded polystyrene) parts.

1. Unplug the power cord.

2. Remove air conditioner from window.

3. Remove the front panel. (See “Cleaning

the front panel and air filter” on page 7.)

Electrical Shock Hazard

Unplug power cord from outlet

before servicing.

Be sure no liquid gets into the motor,

electrical control box, or compressor

terminals.

Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death, electrical shock,

or serious injury.

Excessive Weight Hazard

install air conditioner.

Failure to do so can result in back or

other injury.
