Do not drink water collected inside the cabinet.

- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -

It is your responsibility to:

Install the unit in a window that will hold the weight and

secure it according to the Installation Instructions.

Connect the unit only to the proper kind of outlet, with the

correct electrical supply and grounding. (Refer to “Meet-

ing electrical requirements” in the Installation Instructions).

Make sure the unit is the correct size for the area you

want to cool.

Operating

Instructions

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death, fire, or electrical shock.

Starting your air conditioner

See Figures 1-6

for control panel variations. This manual

covers several different models. The model you have pur-

chased may have all or some of the control panel variations

shown here, and they may not match the illustration exactly.

Set the Fan or System Control to the desired setting.

HI/HIGH COOL/

QUICK COMFORT .........................for maximum cooling

MED/MEDIUM COOL ......................... for normal cooling

LO/LOW COOL ............................... for sleeping comfort

FAN ONLY (on some models) .............. for circulating air

without cooling

The Fan or System Control settings determine the

amount of cool air coming from the louvers.

NOTES:

Set the Exhaust Control (on some models) to

CLOSED or maximum cooling.

Set the control switch to COOL (on some models) for

cooling.

2. Turn the Thermostat to a mid-setting. For maximum

cooling, turn the Thermostat clockwise. For less cooling,

turn the Thermostat counterclockwise. Experiment and

find the setting that suits you best.

NOTES:

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

before turning it back on. This prevents the air condi-

tioner from blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.

Do not try to operate your air conditioner when

the outside temperature is below 65°F (18%). The

inside evaporator coil may freeze up and the air

conditioner may not operate properly.

Using the exhaust control

(on some models)

The Exhaust Control allows you to circulate room air or

exhaust stale/smoky air.

To circulate room air (Figure

7) set Exhaust Control to

CLOSED.

To exhaust stale/smoky air

set Exhaust Control to

OPEN.

Exhaust control tips

For maximum cooling efficiency, set the Exhaust Control

to CLOSED.

The Exhaust Control will only function when the System

or Fan Control is turned to an “on” setting.

Using the ENERGY SAVER

settings

(on some models)

The ENERGY SAVER settings are located on the System

Control (QUICK COMFORT/HI, MED, and LO). See

Figures 8 and

9. When these settings are selected, the

fan will cycle on and off as the Thermostat Control turns

the compressor on and off. This saves the cost of electrical

energy that would be used to run the fan continuously.

It is normal for the fan to turn on and off in the ENERGY

SAVER settings. The amount of time the unit will be off

depends on the room temperature and Thermostat

Control setting.

Energy saving tips

You can help save energy by reducing your air

conditioner’s work load:

Improve your home’s insulation. Seal doors and win-

dows. Close fireplace flue.

Close blinds or drapes on the sunny side of your house.

Add awnings.

Check air filter often to make sure it is clean.

Do not block airflow with drapes or furniture.

Ventilate your attic. High temperatures in the attic add to

the cooling load of your air conditioner.

Try not to use heat-producing appliances during the

hottest part of the day.

Turn lights and appliances off when they are not needed.

Keep heat registers and cool-air returns closed.

Use exhaust/venting fans while cooking, bathing, and

doing laundry.

Changing air direction

The louvers in the top of the front panel allow you to control

the direction of the cooled air. Use the tabs to direct the air

right, left, or straight ahead.

See Figure 10.

Cleaning

Instructions

It is necessary to clean your air filter and front panel properly

for top performance and cleaner air.

Cleaning the front panel

2. Remove the front panel from the cabinet for easy clean-

ing. Press down on the top of the front panel and tilt

forward. Lift the front panel up and away from the bottom

spring clips.

See Figure 11.

Unplug the power cord.

3. Remove the air filter and clean it separately if needed.

(See “Cleaning the air filter” below.)

NOTE:

On some models with a slide-out air filter, you can

remove the air filter without removing the front panel.

4. Using a soft cloth, clean the front panel with warm water

and a mild soap or detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Wipe the control panel with a soft, dry cloth.

5. Replace the front panel. Set the bottom of the panel on

the cabinet spring clips. Push down and forward into the

cabinet to secure upper tabs.

6. Plug in the power cord.

Cleaning the air filter

Your air conditioner’s air filter is removable for easy clean-

ing. A clean filter helps remove dust, lint, and other particles

from the air and is important for best cooling and operating

efficiencv. Check the filter everv 2 weeks to see if it needs

cleaning: Do not operate the ai; conditioner without the filter

in place.

For models with built-in filters (see figure 12):

Unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the front panel from the cabinet. (See “Cleaning

the front panel” above.)

3. Remove the elastic band holding the air filter in place.

Then remove the air filter.

4. Wash the air filter with warm water and mild detergent.

Do not wash the air filter in the dishwasher or use any

chemical cleaners.

Air dry thoroughly before

replacing to ensure maximum efficiency.

5. Replace the filter, elastic band, and front panel.

6. Plug in the power cord.

For models with slide-out filters (see figure 13):

4. Slide out the air filter up and out the top of the front panel.

2. Clean the filter using a vacuum cleaner attachment or

wash it in warm water and a mild detergent. Do not wash

the air filter in the dishwasher or use any chemical

cleaners.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install

air conditioner.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Unplug before doing any maintenance.

Do not drink water collected by the air conditioner.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death, electrical shock, or sickness.

Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help

ensure steady, top performance throughout the year. Call

your local authorized dealer to schedule annual mainte-

nance. The expense of this service is the consumer’s

responsibility.

in plastic film and make sure no water or other liquid

gets inside any of these parts. It could damage the

insulation and cause serious mechanical problems.

See Figure 15.

9. Carefully clean and hose out the base

(K),

condenser

coil (D), evaporator coil (G), and condensate pan

(H).

Clean at least once a year or more often if the con-

denser and evaporator coils and pan collect dirt, sand,

leaves, insects, or algae. Also, clean if you detect an

odor coming from the air conditioner. SW

Figure 15.

10.

Remove the plastic film from the motor and electrical

parts.

11.

Replace the cabinet on the air conditioner and reattach

the front panel, top channel, and side curtains. Tighten

all screws.

12. Plug in the power cord.

NOTE:

It is a good idea to wait 24 hours before starting

the air conditioner again. This allows time for all areas

to dry out.

Repairing paint damage

Check once or twice a year for paint damage. This may

occur, especially in salty environments (near oceans, etc.)

or where rust is a problem. If needed, touch up with a good

grade enamel paint.

NOTE:

To reduce paint damage during the winter, install

a heavy-duty cover on your air conditioner’s cabinet. For

information on ordering a heavy-duty cover see page 11.

Normal operating sounds

When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may

hear such sounds as:

A “pinging” sound caused from water droplets hitting the

condenser. This is an energy efficient design whereby

the water cools the condenser.

Air movement from the fan.

Clicks from the thermostat cycling on and off.

Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window

construction.

A high pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the

modern high efficiency compressor cycling on and off.

an older model, but the total energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do not

emit the “blast” of cold air you may be accustomed to from older units, but this IS NOT an

indication of lesser cooling capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and

capacity rating (in BTUs/hr.) marked on the air conditioner.
