IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
a
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
a
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or injury when using your air conditioner,
follow these basic precautions:
Read all instructions before using the air conditioner.
• If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 115 Volts ~ AC, and up to 7.5 amps,
the unit may be on a fuse or circuit breaker with other devices. However, the
maximum amps of all devices on that fuse or circuit breaker cannot exceed the amps
or the fuse of circuit breaker.
• If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 115 Volts ~ AC, and greater than 7.5
amps, it must have its own fuse or circuit breaker, and no other device or unit should
be operated on the fuse or circuit breaker.
• To avoid the possibility of personal injury, disconnect power to the unit before
installing or servicing.

TIPS BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER
Your room air conditioner unit is designed to be highly efficient and save energy. Follow these
recommendations for greater efficiency:
• Select temperature setting that suits your comfort needs and leave the temperature at that chosen
setting.
• The filter is very efficient in removing airborne particles. Keep air filter clean. The filter should be
cleaned once a month. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on outdoor and
indoor air quality.
• Use drapes, curtains, or shades to keep direct sunlight from heating your room, but DO NOT
obstruct the air conditioner. Allow air to circulate around the unit without obstructions.
• Start your air conditioner before the room temperature air becomes hot and uncomfortable. This
avoids an initial period of discomfort while the unit is cooling off the room.
• When room temperature is cool enough, use HIGH, MED or LOW FAN only. This will circulate the
air, providing some cooling comfort, and utilizes less electricity than when operating on a cooling
setting.
• Save the shipping carton and packing materials for future storage or transport of the unit. Please
check the contents of hardware kit against the corresponding model PARTS AND FEATURES
check list, prior to installation of the unit.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• The unit should be installed on a level surface.
• Select a suitable location with easy access to an electrical outlet.
• Leave at least 12” (30.50cm) clearance between your unit and the nearest object, including walls.
• Install the flexible exhaust hose and the adjustable window slider kit provided (see Fig 1).
• Plug unit into an 115V/60Hz grounded electrical outlet.
NOTE: Use drapes, curtains or shades to keep direct sunshine from penetrating the room but do not
allow them to obstruct the air flow around the unit.
