Window preparation
If storm window frame interferes with air conditioner,
attach a 2" (5 cm) -wide wood strip to inner window sill,
across full width of sill. Wood strip should be thick
enough to raise height of window sill so that you can
install air conditioner without interference from storm
window frame, so that condensation water properly
drains to the outside.
Note: If distance between storm window frame and
inner sill-mounted wood strip is greater than 1 inch
(2.5 cm), wood strip for outer window sill (described in
right column) is not necessary.
Attach a second wood strip, approximately 6" x 1-1/2" x
2" (15.2 cm x 3.8 cm x 5 cm) in center of outer window
sill, flush against back of inner sill. This wood strip will
raise the L brackets to hold air conditioner securely in
place.

WARNING !
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
In the U.S. only: If codes permit and a separate
ground wire is used, it is recommended that a
qualified electrician determine that the ground path
is adequate.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure air
conditioner is grounded.
A three-wire, single-phase, 60-Hz, AC-only, electrical
supply is required on a separate circuit. See model and
serial label for circuit amperage required for your
specific model.
A time delay fuse or circuit breaker is required . Use
copper wire only.
The model and serial label is located behind the front
panel on the cabinet. This label lists the BTU capacity,
amperage, voltage and refrigerant charge requirements.
Recommended grounding method
For your personal safety, this air conditioner must be
grounded. This air conditioner is equipped with a power
supply cord with a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize
possible electrical shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding-type outlet,
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. If a mating 3-prong grounding-type outlet is
not available, it is the consumer’s responsibility to have
a properly grounded, 3-prong outlet installed by a
licensed installer.
It is the customer’s responsibility:
• To contact a qualified electrical installer.
• To assure that the electrical installation is adequate
and in conformance with National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition,* and all local codes
and ordinances.
