Let's get started!

Step 1: Testing

Before you install the AC, let's test it to make sure it made it safely to your home and is and your outlet is proving proper power. Place it on a flat surface, plug it directly into a wall outlet, and turn it on. Next, put the mode to High Cool ✉ and set the temperature to Max Cool 7. After 3 minutes, the AC should be blowing cool air. If so, please continue on to the next step. If not, please go to the Troubleshooting tips at the back of this guide or visit tclusa.com/support for additional help.

Step 2: Installation

A few quick notes before installing:

• This unit is made to fit inside a standard double-hung window between the sizes of 23" and 36".
• Check the size of your window before installing. The air conditioner can be installed without the accordion panels to fit in a narrower window opening.
• The Lower Sash (the lower part of the window that moves up and down) must allow for 14.5" of vertical clearance when open.

• The electrical outlet must be within reach of the power cord.

• Use the included (4) 3/8" screws to fasten the top mounting rail to the unit.

1. Top Mounting Rail (4) 3/8" Screws

1. Fasten the accordion style window panel expander pieces to the unit. They are marked "Right" and "Left". Pull the leading edge of them to its maximum width (Fig 2a). Then slide the panel expanders into the grooved notches (slide downward) on the sides of the unit (Fig 2b), and make sure they are inserted into the metal rails tightly (Fig 2c).

2a. 2b. 2c. Top Mounting Rail Filler panel Bottom Rail Filler panel

1. Carefully place the window air conditioner into the window where it is to be installed (2 people are recommended for this step). Close the window securely. The AC unit should be slightly tilted to the outside area to allow water to drain out from the unit.

3. Window Frame Top Mounting Rail 1/4" Bottom Rail Window sill

4a. Fasten the air conditioner to the window frame, using the included 12 " screws. Fasten each of the panel extenders (Left and Right). You may have to drill a pilot hole in the window frame to fasten these screws to the window sash.

Bottom Hall 4a./4b. (3) 1/2" Screws (2) 3/4" Screws

4b. Attach the lock frame between the panel extender and the window sill and fasten them together with the included 34 " locking screw. Repeat for each side.

4c. Attach the sash lock between the top of the sliding window and window frame, using 1 of the included 34 screw to secure the window closed.

4c. Sash Seal Sash Lock 3/4" Screw Filler panel Lock frame Window sill

4d. To prevent outside air from entering the room, insert the foam top window gasket, cut to the width of the window.

1. Plug the unit into the electrical outlet as specified above in the electrical requirements. Move the control to the COOL mode.

How to Control Your AC

All the basics you need to know to stay cool!

1. Power - Turn on the unit by rotating the MODE dial to the desired setting.
2. Cooling Mode - For maximum cooling, set the MODE dial to ✝. In HIGH COOL mode, the fan will automatically go to high. This will circulate the air throughout the room.
3. Fan Mode - For fan only modes choose either ⚙, or ⚠. The air conditioner will not cool the room in fan mode.
4. Thermostat - Turn the TEMP dial to set the desired room temperature. For maximum cooling, turn the TEMP dial to "7" (Max Cool).
5. Directional Vents - To direct the air flow, use the horizontal lever to control the horizontal (sideways) motion, and move the air deflector to control the vertical (up/down) direction.
6. Minimize Wear and Tear - To minimize wear and tear, wait at least 3 minutes before changing MODES. This will prevent the compressor from overheating and the circuit breaker from tripping.

Normal Operating Sounds

You may hear a pinging noise, caused by the water hitting the condenser on rainy days, or when the humidity is high. This design feature helps remove moisture and increase efficiency.

You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor cycles on and off. Water will collect in the base pan on rainy days, or high humidity days. The water may overflow and drip from the unit on the outside. The fan may run, even when the compressor is not on.

Troubleshooting

Having trouble completing installation? Don't worry, it's usually an easy fix.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS
Air Conditioner will not start	Air conditioner is unplugged	·Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed completely into the outlet
	Fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped	·Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker
	Power Failure	·The unit will automatically re-start when power is restored·There is a protective time delay (approx. 3 minutes) to prevent damage to the compressor. For this reason, the unit may not start normal cooling for 3 minutes after it is turned back on.
	Current interrupter device is tripped	·Press the RESET button located on the power cord plug·If the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician
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
	Temperature control may not be set correctly	·Lower the set thermostat tempera ture
	Air filter is dirty	·Clean the filter. See the Cleaning and Care Section of the manual
	Room may be too warm	·Please allow time for the room to cool down after turning on the air conditioner
	Cold air is escaping	·Check for open furnace registers and cold air returns
	Cooling Coils are frozen · See “Air Conditioner Freezing Up” below
Air Conditioner is freezing up	Ice blocks the air flow and stops the air conditioner from cooling the room	·Set the MODE to HIGH FAN or HIGH COOL and set the thermostat to a higher temperature
Water is dripping outside Hot and humid weather · This is normal
Water is dripping inside the room	Air conditioner is not correctly tilted outside	·For proper water drainage, make sure the air conditioner is slightly tilted downward from the front of the unit to the rear
Water collects in the base pan	Moisture removed from the air is draining into the base pan	·This is normal for a short period in areas with low humidity and nor mal for a longer period in areas with high humidity
