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 or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

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 to 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

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.

HIGH HEAT and LOW HEAT provide heating with different fan speeds.

LOW FAN or HIGH FAN provides air circulation and filtering without cooling or heating.

NOTE: If you move the switch from a cool or heat setting to OFF or to a fan setting, wait at least 3 minutes before switching back to a cool or heat setting. A 3-minute delay is automatically provided on the Heat/Cool and Heat Pump models.

Cooling/Heating Descriptions

For Normal Cooling or Heating—Select HIGH COOL or HIGH HEAT with the thermostat at mid point.

For Maximum Cooling—Select HIGH COOL with the thermostat at maximum cool.

For Maximum Heating—Select HIGH HEAT with the thermostat at maximum heat.

For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling—Select LOW COOL with the thermostat at mid point.

2 Temp Control The temp control is used to maintain the room temperature. The compressor will cycle on and off to keep the room at the same level of comfort. When you turn the knob to COOLER (blue) the indoor air will become cooler. Turn the knob to WARMER (red) and the indoor air will become warmer.

Heat Pump Models

When the outdoor temperature is lower than 25^ F., heat is provided by the electric heater in the air conditioner instead of by the heat pump.

NOTE: The electric resistance heater in the 115-volt heat pump model operates during defrost when the outdoor coil temperature is below 36^ F. It is not intended to provide full heat capability.

About the controls on the air conditioner.

Fan Switch

On Heat/Cool models, the fan switch lever is located in a hole through the control panel. To reach it, you need to remove the front grille. Use a small screwdriver to change the setting. Cool only models have a rocker switch on the front of the control box.

When set at CYCLE (down) the fan cycles on and off when cooling or heating. When set at CONT (continuous, up) the fan runs all the time. The unit is shipped in the CONT setting.

Temperature Limiting

Limiting the maximum and minimum settings prevents users from turning the control to the extreme heat or cool positions.

The normal range of the temp control is approximately 60^ F to 85^ F. The control range may be narrowed by the use of the temperature limiting screws located behind the control panel.

Limits heat temp Limits cool temp

Each position equals approximately 3^ F.

Vent Control

The vent control is located behind the front grille on the right side of the air discharge area. When set at CLOSE, only the air inside the room will be circulated and conditioned. When set at OPEN, some inside air is exhausted outside.

To open or close the vent:

1. Remove the front grille.

2. Remove and replace the vent card to the OPEN (mesh end toward the back) or to the CLOSE (mesh end toward the front) position.

Dirty filter—Needs cleaning Clogged filter—Greatly reduces cooling, heating and airflow.

Turn the air conditioner off before cleaning.

The most important thing you can do to maintain the air conditioner is to clean the filter at least every 30 days. A clogged filter reduces cooling, heating and air flow.

Keeping the air filter clean will:

■ Decrease cost of operation.
■ Save energy.
■ Prevent clogged heat exchanger coils.
■ Reduce the risk of premature component failure.

To clean the air filters:

■ Vacuum off the heavy soil.
■ Run water through the filters.
■ Dry thoroughly before replacing.

To remove the air filter:

Carefully pull the tab forward, up and out.
