WARNING:
- SHOCK OR INJURY HAZARD -
Before performing any mainte­
nance, be sure to disconnect
power cord from receptacle.
REMOVE UNIT FROM CABINET. Wrap the
motor, electrical control box and electrical
terminals box in plastic film and make sure no
water or other liquid gets inside any of these
parts. It could damage the insulation and
cause serious trouble.
Carefully clean and hose out the base, coils
and condensate pans. Clean at least once a
year or more often, if the condenser coils and
pans collect dirt, sand, leaves, insects or algae.
Also, clean if you detect an odor from the
air conditioner. While the cabinet is open,
this is a good time to oil the fan motor.
Remove plastic film from motor and electrical
parts.
Replace unit in cabinet.
NOTE: It's a good idea to wait 24 hours
before starting the unit again. This allows
time for all areas to dry out. The water from
rainfall or from normal operation does not
harm these components.
Oiling of the Fan Motor
WARNING:
- SHOCK OR INJURY HAZARD -
Before performing any mainte­
nance, be sure to disconnect
power cord from receptacle.
Oil the fan motor per instructions on
motor. To add oil, pull out the oil hole
at each end of the motor. (See Figure 11) the

An easy to use one-ounce capsule of especially
recommended oil (Part No. 10943) can be orderd
from your dealer, or use SAE #20 non-detergent
oil.
Replace the plug to keep dirt from motor
bearings.
Reinstall the unit in cabinet after performing
maintenance. (See Installation Instructions.)
COOLING LOAD GUIDE-SQUARE FEET METHOD
ROOM AIR CONDITIONERS
To make sure you choose the right size unit, use this COOLING LOAD GUIDE —
SQUARE FEET
METHOD It IS a quick, easy means of computing capacity
For eitremes m eiposure. shading, insulanon and building construction AHAM Cooling Load Estimate Form RAC-1 must be used
3. From center of band move within the band to left for more
northerly exposure or right for more westerly exposure.
4 . From this point, read down to bottom of chan to determine
required Btu/hr output. Write the Btu/hr figure in the space
indicated below.
. Btu/hr (from number 4 above).
COOUNG CAPAaTY REQUIRED-BTU/HR
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Determine the area to be cooled m square feet and locate that
point on the left side of chan
2. Move horizontally across to the center line of Band A. B or C
according to the condition of the ceiling in the area to be cooled.
Bend A—Occupied Space Above Ceiling
Bend B—Insulated Ceiling Under Attic
Bend C—Non>lnsuiated Ceiling Under Attic

6 -------Locale your geographic area on inset map and multiply
factor shown by figure in number 5.
7 ------ If room air conditioner is Intended primarily lor night­
time cooling, subtract 30®/« (from figure in number 6).
8 -------Subtract 30 Btu/hr from figure in number 7 (or 6) for
each linear foot of wall separating the area to be cooled
from another cooled room.
9 ------ If more than two people occupy area, add 600 Btu/hr per
person (to figure m number 8); if only one person,
subtract 600 Btu/hr.
10---------- Add 4000 Btu/hr (to figure in number 9) if area to be
cooled includes kitchen.
For best results, a room conditioning unit or units with a cooling
capacity rating close to that estimated above should be selected.
A smaller capacity unit operating continuously will contribute
more to comfort than a larger capacity unit operating intermit­
tently.
