BEFORE YOU USE YOUR

AIR CONDITIONER

It is your responsibilityto make

surethat your air conditioner:

l Has been properly installed.

l Is the right size for the area you want

to cool.

l Is properly connected to electricity.

l Is properly electrically grounded.

l Is properly used only for the job it was

intended to do.

l Is not used by children or anyone not

able to operate it properly.

l Is properly maintained.

l Also, remove energy label and buy guide.

Use damp cloth to take off any glue

residue. Do not use a sharp instrument

or any harsh or abrasive cleaners.

Energy SavingTips

l Improve home insulation (seal doors,

windows, and close fireplace flue).

l Close blinds or drapes on sunny side of

house; add window awnings.

l Keep air filter clean. Don’t block air flow

with drapes or furniture.

l Ventilate attic (high temperature levels

add to normal cooling load).

l Try not to use heat producing appliances

during the hottest part of the day. Turn

lights, radios, televisions, and other

appliances off when not needed.

l Keep heat registers and cool air returns

closed or blocked off so cooled air won’t

escape.

l Use a vent fan in areas where cooking,

laundry, or bathing is done to pull out

extra heat and moisture near its source.

CODES AND ORDINANCES.

Electrical Requirements

115 volt (103.5 min., 126.5 max.) 60 hertz AC

only, 15 ampere fused electrical supply is required

(time delay fuse or time delay circuit breaker re-

quired). It is required that a separate circuit, serving

only this appliance, be provided.

Do not use an

extension cord.

Electrical Ground is Required on this Appliance

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

For your personal safety, this appliance must be

grounded. This appliance is equipped with a

power supply cord having 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 the National Electrical Code

and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall

receptacle is not available, it is the personal

responsibility and obligation of the customer to

have a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle

installed by a qualified electrician. See Figure 1

on page 4.

ALTERNATE GROUNDING

METHOD

If changing and properly grounding the wall

receptacle is impossible and where local codes

permit (consult your electrical inspector), a

temporary adapter may be plugged into the

existing 2-prong wall receptacle to mate with the

3-prong power supply cord. See Figure 2. THIS,

HOWEVER, IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

If this is done, you must connect the grounded

eyelet on the adapter to the wall receptacle

cover plate screw and from this same screw, you

must connect a separate copper ground wire

(#14 minimum) to a grounded cold water pipe.*

See Figure 2. Do not ground to a gas supply

pipe. Do not connect to electrical supply until

appliance is permanently grounded.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Your Air Conditioner

Through-the-wall

Installation Instructions

for installing the unit in a pre-installed cabinet.

Unpack accessory parts

(see Figure 3) be-

fore installing your air conditioner.

Figure 3

CAUTION:

Be sure air conditioner does not fall

during installation.

Handle the air conditioner with care.

Watch out for the sharp metal fins on

the front and rear coils.

Do not use the water condensate for

drinking purposes. It is not sanitary.

Pick the right wall.

First, decide what room(s)

you want to cool. Then choose a wall that

will allow the air-conditioned air to flow

freely and directly into the room(s) you want

cooled. Remember, it’s difficult to move air

around corners. Choose a location that’s

also

near

an electrical outlet. (Refer to

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS for re-

ceptacle and wiring needed.) Do not use an

extension cord. (CAUTION: DO NOT LOCATE

AIR CONDITIONER WHERE PLASTIC

CABINET FRONT WILL BE EXPOSED TO

A HEAT SOURCE THAT RAISES THE

SURFACE TEMPERATURE IN EXCESS

OF 120” F.)

.:_ _ -‘a -.:<!za~a <-‘1’ ! ,uw”+we*A-

Choose the type of decorative molding you

want to use around the room side of the

cabinet. Your choice affects the finish frame

alignment with the inside wall. When using a

wood, metal or plastic molding, the finish

frame should almost line up with the inside

wall. If the wall is plastered to the cabinet

and no molding is used, the finish frame

must be set into the wall by l/2” (see Figure 4

for frame construction or Figure 5 for brick

veneer construction). Cut through two studs

for support.

. Provide an opening through the wall

for a

finish frame. Observe all local governing codes

and ordinances. For wall opening dimensions,

use those shown in Figure 6 and add wood

frame thickness (use 1” lumber or heavier).

When determining finish frame thickness,

be sure you do not cover side cabinet louvers.

A 4” minimum clearance between sidecabinet

louvers and adjoining wall allows for proper

airflow into air conditioner.

Construct finish frame.

Apply creosote or

something equal to the outside exposed

surface.

. Install the finish frame

in the wall opening.

Square and level frame and nail it securely to

the studs.

Remove front panel

by pushing top down and

out. This protects the panel from damage and

makes the air condtioner easier to handle

during installation (see Figure 7).

Slide unit out of cabinet.

First, disconnect the

green ground wire at the left-front corner of

base unit by removing retaining screw (save

screw for reuse later). Now slide unit out of

cabinet by pulling on handle at bottom (see

Figure 7).

. Insert exterior cabinet through wall opening.

Leave l-3/16” minimum projection into the

room at service cord exit hole in cabinet, after

allowing for trim. For proper outward water

drainage, shim or reposition cabinet to pro-

vide the proper downward tilt to the outside

(l/2” bubble or l/4” and side-to-side leveling.

Fill all spaces

between cabinet and finish

frame with insulation.

Drill holes

in the cabinet and attach it securely

to finish frame. Use ten #lO x 1” wood

screws (four screws for each side and two

screws for the top; not included). Do not

overtighten screws or cabinet will distort and

provide a poor air seal between cabinet and

unit.

Insert plastic drain-cup spout

and metal holder

(on certain models) into hole at rear of cabinet,

as shown in Figure 8. Spout should be facing

downward through hole. OPTIONAL: During

high humidity, condensate may drip from

the outside of your air conditioner onto the

ground below. If your air conditioner is

installed where this is undesirable, you can

direct the water to a more suitable spot by

simply attaching a 5/8” inside-diameter, thin

walled hose to the drain spout at rear of

cabinet (see Figure 9). On models without

plastic drain cup spout, use flashing as needed

to guide water.

Note the type of drain parts you have. Insert

drain cup according to instructions in Figure 8.

To Start Your Air Conditioner

EXHAUST CONTROL

FAN SPEED/

HEAT CONTROL

THERMOSTAT CONTROL

Be sure air conditioner is OFF before plugging

it in.

Set exhaust control (if your unit is so equip-

ped) to OFF for maximum cooling or heating.

Choose a fan speed setting for cooling or

heating.

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

HI COOL . . . . . . for maximum cooling

LO HEAT.. . . . for reduced air movement

Turn thermostat control to Number 6 (mid-

setting). You can adjust the air conditioner’s per-

formance by resetting the thermostat control to

a higher number for maximum cooling. Lower the

number setting for less cooling. You will need to

experiment to find the setting which suits you

best.
