ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Your appliance is designed to be highly efficient in energy savings. Follow these recommendations for greater efficiency.

1. Select a thermostat setting that suits your comfort needs and leave at that chosen setting.
2. The air filter is very efficient in removing airborne particles. Keep the air filter clean at all times. (Usually cleaned every 2 weeks depending on indoor air quality.)
3. Use drapes, curtains or shades to keep direct sunlight from penetrating and heating the room, but do not allow drapes or curtains to obstruct the air flow around the unit.
4. Start your air conditioner before the outdoor air becomes hot, to avoid an initial period of discomfort while the unit is cooling the room.

FEATURES

NOTE: Your Room Air Conditioner is designed for easy installation in a single or double-hung window. This unit is NOT designed for vertical (slider type) windows and/or through-the-wall applications.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

To avoid the possibility of personal injury, disconnect power to the unit before installing or servicing.

TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION:

• Screwdrivers: Phillips and at head.
• Power Drill: 1/8'' (3.2mm) diameter drill bit
  Pencil
• Measuring Tape
• Scissors
  Carpenter's Level

NOTE: Save the shipping carton and packing materials for future storage or transportation. From the carton, remove the plastic bag containing the installation hardware kit necessary for the installation of your air conditioner. Please check the contents of the hardware kit against the corresponding model check list, prior to installation of the unit. See Fig. 1.

CAUTION

Because the compressor is located on the controls side of the unit (left side), this side will be heavier and more awkward to manipulate. Inadequate support on control side of the unit can result in personal injury and damage to your unit and property. Therefore, it is recommended that you have someone assist you during the installation of this unit.

INSTALLATION HARDWARE

Fig. 1

LOCATION

1. This room air conditioner is designed to fit easily into a single or double hung window. However, since window designs vary, it may be necessary to make some modifications for safe, proper installation.
2. Make sure window and frame are structurally sound and free from dry and rotted wood.
3. For maximum efficiency, install the air conditioner on a side of the house or building which favours more shade than sunlight. If the unit is in direct sunlight, it is advisable to provide an awning over the unit.
4. Provide sufficient clearance around the cabinet to allow for ample air circulation through the unit (See Fig. 2). The rear of the unit should be outdoors. It should not be in a garage, or inside a building. Keep unit as far away as possible from obstacles/obstructions and at least 30^ above the floor or ground. Curtains and other objects within the room should be prevented from blocking the air flow.
5. Be certain that the proper electrical outlet is within reach of the installation. Use only a single outlet circuit rated at 15 amps. All wiring should be in accordance with local and national electrical codes.
6. DO NOT install unit where leakage of combustible gas is suspected. Your air conditioner may fail to operate in air containing oils (including machine oils), sulfide gas, near hot springs, etc.

NOTE: Your unit is designed to evaporate condensation under normal conditions. However, under extreme humidity conditions, excess condensation may cause basepan to overflow to the outside. The unit should be installed where condensation run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighbouring properties.

NOTE: It is normal for your unit to drip a small amount of water, especially on excessively humid days.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

1. Assembly of the upper channel to the cabinet (factory installed on some units).

2. "L" Shaped Top Channel: install the "L" shaped channel to the top of the cabinet as shown in Fig. 3, using four (4) 3/8 screws.

3. Assembly of the side curtains to the cabinet.

4. Extend the shutter from the shutter frame and slide it into the shutter tabs on the side channel of the air conditioner, as shown in Fig. 4.

5. Slide the shutters into the top ("L" shaped) and bottom ("U" shaped) channels. The shutters are identified (on frame) as left and right.

Fig. 3

1. Completing the installation.

2. Carefully place the air conditioner into the window with the "L" shaped mounting bracket (on top) positioned in front of the upper window sash. The bottom of the cabinet should be positioned on the "recessed" portion of the window frame. Pull the window down until it rests just behind the front flange of the (top) "L" shaped mounting bracket (See Fig. 5).

3. Expand the shutter frames (fully) on each side and secure the top of the frames to the window sash using one 1/2 screw on each side and one in the "L" shaped mounting bracket (Fig. 5).
4. Secure the shutter clamp on each side of the lower part of the shutter, and secure to window sill using one 1/2 screw on each side (Fig. 5).
5. Place the second foam sealing strip to fit the opening between the inside and outside windows, then attach the safety lock to the outside window frame using one 1/2 screw (See Fig. 6).

PLEASE NOTE: Window applications come in a variety of different styles. Therefore, it may be necessary to modify your particular installation.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

Check that the air conditioner is tilted downwards to the outside, about 3^ to 4^ , as shown in Fig. 7. After proper installation, condensed water should not drain from the overflow drain hole during normal use. If you notice water leaking out, check the angle of tilt, and make any necessary adjustments. However, on a very humid day, water leakage can occur – this is normal.

Measure the tilt angle from the cabinet's edge. The distance H should be approximately 3/4" to 1" .

CONTROLS

FAN SPEEDS:

LOW FAN will circulate air at minimum speed without cooling.
MED FAN will circulate air at a medium speed without cooling.
- HIGH FAN will circulate air at maximum speed without cooling.

Fig. 7

SELECTOR SWITCH: The selector switch controls cooling mode. Simply rotate the SELECTOR knob to one of the two settings described below.

COOLING MODES:

• LOW COOL provides cooling with minimum air circulation. Recommended for night-time use.
  MED COOL provides cooling with medium air circulation.

• HIGH COOL provides cooling with maximum air circulation. Recommended for quick cooling or for extremely hot days. Once room is cooled, reduce setting to LOW COOL.
  OFF shuts the unit down completely.

NOTE: Always allow 3 minutes before switching from one mode to another.

THERMOSTAT: The thermostat automatically controls the (compressor) cooling cycle and maintains the selected room temperature. To set the thermostat, rotate the thermostat knob to the desired cooling setting (1 warmest - 7 coldest).

IMPORTANT

Turn the selector switch slowly, allowing the unit to adjust. When using THERMOSTAT, be sure to allow three minutes before changing the temperature. Adjusting too quickly may cause compressor to overload.

NOTE: In order to avoid electric shock, please turn off the A/C and unplug the plug before maintenance or repair.

CLEANING

When cleaning the air conditioner be sure to turn the SELECTOR knob to the "OFF" position and disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

1. DO NOT use gasoline, benzene, thinner, or any other chemicals to clean this unit, as these substances may cause damage to the finish and deformation of plastic parts.
2. Never attempt to clean the unit by pouring water directly over any of the surface areas, as this will cause deterioration of electrical components and wiring insulation.

AIR FILTER

If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, air flow is obstructed and reduces efficiency. The air filter should be cleaned every 2 weeks.

AIR FILTER REMOVAL:

The air filter is located behind the air intake front grill. To remove the air filter, grasp the filter handle on the front of the grill and slide it out to the right.

To reinstall the air filter, reverse the above procedures. The air filter must be vacuumed or washed by hand in warm water. Dry thoroughly before re-installing.

CLEANING AIR FILTER:

1. Use a vacuum cleaner with soft brush attachment.
2. Wash the filter in lukewarm water below 40^ (104°F). To get best results, wash with soapy water or a neutral cleaning agent.
3. Rinse the filter with clean water and dry thoroughly before re-installing.

IMPORTANT

DO NOT forget to install the air filter. If the air conditioner is left to operate without the air filter, dust is not removed from the room air and may result in machine failure. When the air inlet grill and cabinet are dirty, wipe with lukewarm water (below 40^ / 104^ ). Use of a mild detergent is recommended.

END OF SEASON CARE

1. Turn off power and remove plug from wall socket.
2. Clean filter.
3. Store (covered) air conditioner in a dry location.

CAUTION

When installing and/or removing the air conditioner from the window, ensure that caution is taken to prevent it from falling backward. It is recommended that installation or removal of the air conditioner is done with assistance, to prevent injury to persons or damage to the unit or property.

DISPOSAL

Check for local regulatory compliance regarding the approved and safe disposal of this appliance.
