WARNING: Before op er at ing your unit
Make sure the wiring is adequate for your unit.
If you have fuses, they should be of the time delay type.
Before you install or relocate this unit, be sure that the
amperage rating of the circuit breaker or time delay fuse
does not exceed the amp rating listed in Figure 1.
DO NOT use an extension cord.
The cord provided will carry the proper amount of electrical
power to the unit. An extension cord will not.
For the best cooling performance and highest energy efficiency
Keep the filter clean
Make sure that your air conditioner is always in top
performing condition by cleaning the filter reg u lar ly.
In struc tions for removing and cleaning the fi lter can be
found on page 5.
Provide good airflow
Make sure the airfl ow to and from the unit is clear. Your air
conditioner puts the air out at the top of the unit, and takes
in air at the bottom. Airfl ow is critical to good operation.
It is just as important on the outside of the build ing that the
airfl ow around the unit exterior is not blocked.

Make sure that the receptacle is compatible with
the air conditioner cord plug provided.
This insures proper grounding. If you have a two prong
receptacle you will need to have the circuit replaced by
a certifi ed electrician with a grounded circuit that meets
all national and local codes and ordinances. Under no
circumstances should you remove the ground prong from
the plug. You must use the three prong plug furnished with
the air conditioner.
Unit placement
If your air conditioner can be placed in a window or wall
that is shaded by a tree or another building, the unit will
operate even more effi ciently. Using drapes or blinds on
the sunny side of the dwelling will also add to your unit’s
effi ciency.
Insulation
Good insulation will be a big help in maintaining desirable
comfort levels. Doors should have weather stripping. Be
sure to caulk around doors and windows.
