IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.
  This air conditioner must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
  ■ Never unplug your air conditioner by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
  ■ Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

■ Turn the mode control OFF and unplug your air conditioner before making any repairs or cleaning.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
For your safety...do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The air conditioner should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

See the Installation Instructions, Electrical Requirements section for specific electrical connection requirements.

⚠ WARNING!

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS -115-Volt models only

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 14 gauge, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.

CAUTION:

DO NOT use an extension cord with any of the 230/208 volt models.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS -115-Volt models only

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.

However, if you must use an adapter, where local codes permit, a temporary connection may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at most local hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one hand while pulling the power cord plug with the other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT USE the air conditioner until a proper ground has been established.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Troubleshooting Tips: Save time and money! Review the chart below first and you may not need to call for service.

Problem Possible Causes What To Do
Air conditioner does not start	The air conditioner is unplugged.	Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed completely into the outlet.
	The fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped.	Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker.
	Power failure.	If power failure occurs, turn the air conditioner OFF. When power is restored, wait 3 minutes to restart the air conditioner to prevent tripping of the compressor overload.
Air conditioner does not cool as it should	Airflow is restricted.	Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the front of the air conditioner.
	The temp control may not be set correctly.	On models with touch pads: In DECREASE ▼ pad.On models with control knobs, turn the temperature knob to a higher number.
	The air filter is dirty.	Clean the filter at least every 30 days.See the Operating Instructions section.
	The room may have been hot.	When the air conditioner is first turned on you need to allow time for the room to cool down.
	Cold air is escaping.	Check for open furnace floor registers and cold air returns.Set the air conditioner's vent to the closed position.
	Cooling coils have iced up.	See “Air conditioner freezing up” below.
Air conditioner freezing up	Ice blocks the air flow and stops the air conditioner from cooling the room.	On models with control knobs, set the mode control at HIGH FAN or HIGH COOL with the temp at 1 or 2.On models with touch pads, set the controls at HIGH FAN or HIGH COOL and set the thermostat to a higher temperature.
The remote control is not working	The batteries are inserted incorrectly.	Check the position of the batteries. They should be inserted in the opposite (+) and (−) direction.
	The batteries may be dead.	Replace the batteries.
Water drips outside	Excessively hot and humid weather.	This is normal.
Water drips indoors	The air conditioner is not tilted to the outside.	For proper water disposal, make sure the air conditioner slants slightly from the case front to the rear.
Water collects in base pan	Moisture is removed from indoor air and drains into rear of a cabinet where a fan blows it against the outdoor condenser coil.	This is normal for a short period in areas with little humidity; normal for a longer period in very humid areas.

Normal Operating Sounds

• You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown against the condenser on rainy days or when the humidity is high. This design feature helps remove moisture and improve efficiency.
• You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor cycles on and off.

■ Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity or on rainy days. The water may overflow and drip from the outdoor side of the unit.
■ The fan may run even when the compressor does not.
